Awesome Picture of the Week: "I got bored one day"

This picture of my iPhone is awesome simply because I drew it.  On MS Paint.  With a mouse.  At work.

Boss.

 

 

Mind you it was during the first couple of weeks of my new job, and I had a lot of free time back then..  a lot of free time.

 

Awesome Picture of the Week: Tim Burton's "The Avengers"

Hey, have you ever looked at the trailer for Marvel's The Avengers and said to yourself, "Gee.  I really wish Tim Burton had taken control of that whole franchise, and made it all Nightmare Before Christmas-esque."?  I bet you haven't... Because no one wants that.  Not even Burton, I'm sure.

The crack addict version.

I came across this picture (honestly, cannot remember the source, again) and thought it was pretty funny/cool.  This is some artist's interpretation of what the Avengers characters would look like, if Tim Burton had made it his own.  I just love how they all look so fragile, yet they're supposed to be jacked-up superheroes.  My favorite is the depiction of The Hulk that was clearly inspired by Jekyll/Hyde. 

Awesome Picture of the Week: President Who?

Can you name the 20th President of the United States of America?  Without Google?  Yeah, neither can I, but what's important is that I'm pretty sure most Americans can remember the important ones.  Observe this picture found via 'some random meme website I stumbled upon while browsing Facebook'.  It illustrates most people's view of our 44 presidents.

Guy on the quarter, white guys, cool tall guy, white guys, dumb white guy, black guy...

This picture is funny because we all know it's true.  Not enough time was spent learning about other presidents besides the highly significant ones and the ones whose terms we lived through.  There's no one to blame except our history teachers, of course.  I would have loved to learn more about John Quincy Adams and his blah, blah, blah... you know, never mind...

P.S. - The History Channel has this show called I Love the 1880s (a clear satire of those "I Love the [enter date]" shows on VH1).  It's actually rather hilarious and provides a lot of interesting little facts about figures in history that you probably didn't know (like how Benjamin Franklin hated eagles and would've liked a turkey better as a national bird.  A damn turkey.  Oh, Ben...).
