895,000 tiny buildings compose the largest architectural model of a city in the world. The Panorama of the City of New York in the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park was built for the 1964 World’s Fair as a commission from Robert Moses.

Moses was famously, or more accurately, infamously, the powerful parks commissioner who so profoundly altered the infrastructure of New York, and he was integral to the creation of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs themselves. The panorama, built in the New York City Pavilion, took 100 workers three years to create with modelmakers Raymond Lester Associates.

But but but… How’d they pull it off in the days pre-Google Earth?

REAL Lesbians React to Lesbian Porn! (by wickydkewl)

“Because if it was made for lesbians, there would be a Home Depot ad on the side.”

This is pretty hilariously righteous.

Earth, 2012

Geographic and national borders are deleted from a map of Earth, leaving only the names of cities and countries. These are then overlayed on top of a high resolution map of Mars, creating a future image of the planet Earth where our current notions of culture and nationality cease to exist.

HMMMMM. MANDOM!

Charles Bronson made a lot commercials for this japanese aftershave.

Sadly, only one remains on youtube but this one is great. Charles baths in this stuff before smoking a pipe and THEN goes to bed.

physicsphysics:

An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.

Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t
