This Is Just Great

By Mort

This is a hot dog stand in Jerusalem.  It’s probably a 40 minute walk from the Western Wall and the Temple Mount.  Just makes it that much better.

Is The Era Of Implants Over In Hollywood?

Disney recently banned fake boobs in their actresses, the question is will the rest of Hollywood follow?

This article was taken from Jezebel:

Though it was once considered fairly standard for actresses to increase her busts via the magic of plastic surgery, Sally Brampton of the Daily Mail notes that studios are now calling for “authenticity,” when it comes to women’s bodies.

“Plastic, it seems, is no longer fantastic,” Brampton writes, pointing to a recent Disney-ban on implants for the next Pirates of the Caribbean film, the drop in interest in plastic surgery makeover shows like The Swan and Victoria Beckham’s removal of her implants as a sign that Hollywood, and perhaps the world in general, has tired of the overtly-fake implant look. “That’s why, for women in the public eye, ” Brampton writes, “having fake breasts is looking increasingly less like a career move and more like career suicide.”

Keep in mind that Brampton, who claims to have “naturally” large breasts and makes a point to note that the downsides of having an ample chest—including back pain and issues with dealing with men—aren’t spoken about as much as they should be, is speaking more about the celebrity obsession with breast implants than breast implants in general; there are, of course, many women who undergo breast augmentation for personal reasons that have nothing to do with wanting to become famous by increasing their cup size.

Great Picture

By Mort

I saw this picture hanging on the wall in the lobby of my faculty, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.  My biostatistics TA, Rony-Reuven Nir, took it.  It’s fantastic.

These other pics I received in an email chain about 10 years ago.  The subject ran something like great pics of the year, but I don’t have the original email.  They’re also incredible.  Posted below the pictures are the explanations as I got them.

Sound Barrier

Pilot Ron Candiloro breaks through the sound barrier in an F/A-18 Homet fighter plane over the Pacific Ocean on July 7. The cloud ball effect is caused when forward sound waves squeeze moisture in the air.

Blue Mosque

Black sun – the last solar eclipse of the millennium is seen in this multiple exposure photograph as it appeared from the famous Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, on Aug 11.

The Road

Falling for colour – hundreds of cars jam a road in Nikko, Japan on Nov 3, as drivers slow down to admire the colourfully tinted leaves of autumn.

Book of Life

Singers perform on a giant stage on Lake Constance during a rehearsal of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera ‘Ein Maskenball’ on July 15. The design of the stage in the lake shows ‘Death’ reading the book of life.
