No nation can afford to divert its ablest men into essentially non-creative and occasionally parasitic occupations such as law, insurance and banking
I have a friend who says that about Britain, and the City of London: he said that, "If Britain were like Germany, people who graduated with first class degrees would go to work in engineering firms in places like Bangor; but the [only] way to make money as an employee in Britain is to go and work in the City, in Finance." -

Eurogamer explains why M.A.S.K. was popular in a game retrospective.
Basically, the heroes were pretty much... white trash.
"MASK was fairly square, actually. If Optimus Prime and his robo-buddies were the CIA of transforming toys, mysterious and slick, MASK would have been the Coast Guard. (I'm starting to realise why I preferred it now.)
MASK was made up of ordinary joes – hicks, for the most part, with names like Dusty Hayes and Hondo MacLean. These were names that might give the impression that you were actually dealing with a weary team of rodeo-clown-themed male prostitutes rather than an elite group of special agent types, protecting the world from menace.
Their headquarters was a gas station. A gas station! Their leader had an annoying kid and drove around in a white-trash muscle car – the kind of car my uncle Mike bought during a bad breakup.
And the hook for the series, the gimmick that made the whole thing special, was that they solved crime in their overtime. They were everyday losers with regular jobs. They were hobbyist heroes. Temps. They probably trooped over to the local Kelly's Services office every Friday for the free M&S lunch. " -

More Lance Link goodness. Every episode had a musical break featuring Lance Link and the other stars of the show as The Evolution Revolution, playing bubblegum pop written and sung by Steve Hoffman and performed by the Grass Roots' studio musicians. (The Grass Roots was the band in which Creed Bratton from The Office performed during the late sixties).

Now this is Superior trolling of your mates....
Designer Oli Beale takes pictures of his mate James from facebook, alters them slightly and then posts them back on facebook. Needless to say his mate doesn't like it...

A DeviantArt page that creates cheap paperback novel covers for graphic novel series. These may have shown up here before, because in the comments for the Planetary cover, someone mentions that he should post them here at WC. The artist's reply:Ah, I don't know about that. It'd be a little "HEY! LOOK AT ME!" and people are reposting the redesigns enough that I'm sure it'll find it's way in front of Internet Jesus eventually.
So if they haven't been put up here before, it's about time... -

Perfection:
If You Watch It BackwardsIf you watch Jurassic Park backwards, it’s the heartwarming tale of scientists and dinosaurs working together to build an amusement park. Then the people betray the dinosaurs, putting them in cages and ultimately flying back to Montana to bury any evidence they existed at all.
If you watch Leaving Las Vegas backwards, its about Nicolas Cage coming back from the dead and drinking so much alcohol that he becomes healthy again.
