More Stephen Cohen
Perhaps you recall a recent report (I seem to recall Chuck covered the incident) about a performance artist in Paris who attached a rooster to his genitals for a public parade. That was Stephen Cohen, and here's more about him.
Caution: some mild, non-sexualized nudity.

Dry-Tabs
As you might suspect, these pills eventually met with Federal displeasure.

“I Can’t Take a Boy with THAT Many Pimples!”
My question: if this happened to Jack in 2013, could he launch a successful discrimination lawsuit?

The effect of diet on the face
It has been shown, and seemingly conclusively, that a flesh or greatly mixed diet promotes angularity in the face generally, while the nourishment obtained from a single article, commonly of a starchy nature, coarsens the features. Thus we have the potato lip, the oatmeal lip, the maize lip."
From Fauconberg, W. (1905). "The effect of diet and climate on the face." The Strand Magazine: 418-423.

Makeup-Free Barbie
Mexican artist Edie Aguirre created some images to show what Barbie might look like 1) without makeup, and 2) with the body shape of a real woman. Judging by the bags under her eyes, makeup-free Barbie also looks like she hasn't yet had her morning cup of coffee. [foxnews]

In one end, out the other
Apologies in advance for the crappy post. I'll let the artist, Gabriel Morais, explain his project:4.5kg of beet root in 36 hours.
3.5kg of Froot Loops in 30 hours.
4kg of sweet corn in 36 hours.
So in the photos below, he shows what he ate first, followed by what eventually came out the other end.
