http://www.weltexpress.info/pics/LOIS_XIV_Foto_Bernard_Pras_2007_02.jpg I thought this was a Virgin Mary on a tortilla experience at first; Seeing Louis XIV in a bunch of consumer products would certainly be my unholy equivalent of that “miraculous” phenomenon. He’s supposed to be there, though I’m not quite sure why. (My guess as to artist statement: Absolute hydrogenated oil clogs arteries […]

BBC NEWS | Europe | Pope attacks blurring of gender
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/7796663.stm Link stolen from BumApples: The Catholic Church opposes gay marriage. It teaches that while homosexuality is not sinful, homosexual acts are.

Bicycle lift in Norway
http://blog.jimmyr.com/Bicycle_lift_in_Norway_05_2008.php I thought I remembered seeing this nifty bicycle lift when I was in Norway, but it appears to be in Trondheim, which I didn’t visit.

(Pictures after the click are technically SFW, but potentially only after a very detailed explanation, and a follow-up visit to Wikipedia as proof that you’re not lying.)
