The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house. Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold. A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been. - Shey via Bookmarklet

I wasn't really trying to be snarky. Just making the point that there is little value in trying to prove or disprove these kinds of things because at some point those who believe in God can say "He is all-powerful and he just made it happen". You either believe or you don't. Personally, I don't. - Grant Fitzgerald

"One well-known African American writer, Debra Dickerson, famously objected to calling Obama black arguing that because he is not descended from slaves, he is not of the people properly defined as "black." Ergo, he is not black - at all." - Chris Nixon via Bookmarklet

I think there are a few folk in Africa who might object to that definition. - Chris Nixon

In the France that emerged from World War I, George Barbier, then in his 30s, was one of the best-known artist-designers, especially famous as a creator of the brilliantly colored fashion plates that had been launched by the couturier Paul Poiret a decade earlier, and of jewelry for Cartier. He also made his mark as a writer and reviewer for magazines, a designer for theater and film, and a book illustrator. (Les chansons de Bilitis di Pierre Louÿs, 1922) - Cee Bee

The image above requires very little explanation except to say that Obama's brand is fast becoming a template for success. Benjamin Netenyahu's campaign website, is inspired by Barack Obama's. Borrowed elements include layout, typography, color, gradients, buttons, photography, silhouettes and more below the fold.

Alebrijes are carved wooden figures created by Oaxacan artisans. They have become so popular that even the world’s most respected Spanish language authority, the La Real Academia de la Lengua Española, Spanish Royal Academy, has included the term “Alebrijes” in its official Spanish language dictionary. The term “Alebrijes” originated from the name that Mr. Pedro Linares, of Mexico City, gave to his fantastic creations of paper maché; which are internationally recognized. Most Oaxacan artisans simply call them figuras "wooden figures", naming them after the animal which they carved, such as the deer, raccoon, leopard, etc., but when a fantastic figure is elaborated, the artisan is compelled to say he has created an "alebrije." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

I've seen several of these around and I need to go ahead and get one for myself. My mom loves bright colors and would enjoy one of these, too. - Kamilah Gill

i love these. they're relatively inexpensive in mexico compared to what you would find in an specialty "ethnic" art gallery here in the us - Cee Bee
