Paludariums Are Cool
I have finally found a hobby that can incorporate my love for fishtanks and my mrs.' love for gardening...Paludariums! A paludarium is a type of vivarium that incorporates both terrestrial and aquatic elements. Paludaria usually consist of an enclosed container in which organisms specific to the biome being simulated are kept. Half-land, half-water; perfect!!
RIP Leslie Nielsen
Nielsen, who has died from pneumonia at the age of 84, was a serious actor until he struck comedy gold at 54 as the hapless doctor in "Airplane!"
"Surely you can't be serious," an airline passenger says to Nielsen's character in the 1980 hit disaster movie send-up.
"I am serious - and don't call me Shirley," came the deadpan reply.....you will be missed Leslie.

The Melbourne Connection
The VZT has relocated to Melbourne and will be bringing you a taste of what's going on in this city, at least for the next few months. There is masses of graff up around here, so I'm gonna try to put up a selection of graff that I've found every week, as well as listing what shows/exhibitions are happening in the city.

Hillbilly Bears Cartoon Photos
The Hillbilly Bears is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It aired as a segment on The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show for two seasons, from 1965 to 1967.
Carnovsky RGB Wallpaper
These animal designs were created by Carnovsky for the Milan shop of Janelli & Volpi, a noted Italian wallpaper brand. Each features overlapping illustrations, different elements of which are revealed depending on whether a blue, green or red light is shone upon them.....nice idea.
