Guerrilla Lee in Paris
Kudos to TriBeCa for the nice guerrilla campaign they carried out for Lee Jeans in Paris. Last week-end, to promote the opening of a new store in rue des Rosiers, the French agency has disseminated denims (and denim accessories) all around the neighbourhood.
Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 - optical illusion
Here is a great optical illusion photo taken of a Lufthansa 747-400 and a United 757-200 that were on simultaneous approaches to runways 28L and 28R at San Francisco (SFO).
The separation requirement for flying parallel and simultaneous approaches is 225 meters (about 750 feet).
These two aircraft are at a safe distance for the appro aches they are each flying. Due to the 747 being three times larger than the 757, and being slightly behind, it gives this incredible optical illusion.

World smallest Fast Food Meal
I am 6'6 tall and I rather would like to see the world biggest fast food meal - but still this is pretty amazing.
An other Whale Explosion Story
After the story of the whale explosion yesterday, Chris from BizTechies sent me a link this story from 30 years ago.
FLORENCE, Ore. - The year was 1970 and KATU reporter Paul Linnman and photographer Doug Brazil got an unusual assignment: go cover a story about a large, dead whale that washed up on the beach near Florence.
Read the whole Story here and watch the original story here.
Whale explosion
This whale explosion occurred on January 26, 2004, in Tainan City, Taiwan. In this incident, a buildup of gas inside a decomposing sperm whale, measuring 17 meters (56 ft.) long and weighing 50 tons, caused it to burst.
The older bull whale had died after becoming beached on the southwestern coast of Taiwan, and it had taken more than 13 hours, three large cranes, and 50 workers to shift the beached sperm whale onto the back of a truck.

While the whale was being moved, the website of the newspaper Taiwan News, eTaiwanNews.com, reported that “a large crowd of more than 600 local Yunlin residents and curiosity seekers, along with vendors selling snack food and hot drinks, braved the cold temperature and chilly wind to watch workmen try to haul away the dead marine leviathan”. Professor Wang Chien-ping had ordered the whale be moved to the Sutsao Wild Life Reservation Area after he had been refused permission to perform a post-mortem at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan. The whale was being transported on the back of a truck through the center of Tainan from the university laboratory to the preserve when the explosion occurred. Although the explosion was spectacular, it did not stop researchers from performing a post-mortem on the animal.

The explosion was reported to have splattered blood and whale entrails over surrounding shop-fronts, bystanders, and cars. BBC News Online interviewed an unnamed Taiwanese local who said, “What a stinking mess. This blood and other stuff that blew out on the road is disgusting, and the smell is really awful.”
Over the course of about one year, Professor Wang completed a bone display from the remains of the whale’s rotting dead body. The assembled specimen and some preserved organ and tissues have been on display in the Tai Jiang CetaceanFantastic Art of Jacek Yerka
Jacek Yerka is a Polish artist born in 1952. Yerka's work can be witnessed though Mind Fields, in which Harlan Ellison has provided narration for each of Yerka's selected pieces.
Yerka studied art at University, before rebelling against the trend to paint with less attention to realism and detail. Instead, he found his education studying the works of the Northern European masters like the Van Eycks, Dierck Bouts, Robert Campin, Bosch, and surrealists such as Magritte.
