Some guy has been going around tagging things in RVA like crazy…gates…monuments…Quirk Gallery! While none of those deserved a fresh coat of ugly spray paint…the last one was especially stupid and uncalled for. Here’s a pic of him. If you have any info, please get in touch with the police at 786-2568.
Thanks!
Klerksdorp Spheres
Over the past several decades, South African miners have found hundreds of metallic spheres, at least one of which has three parallel grooves running around its equator. The spheres are of two types—one of solid bluish metal with white flecks, and another which is a hollow ball filled with a white spongy center.
Roelf Marx, curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where some of the spheres are housed, said: ‘The spheres are a complete mystery. They look man-made, yet at the time in Earth’s history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life existed. They’re nothing like I have ever seen before.”
Transparent fauna - Form is Void
Artist Alex Gross’s “Product Placement” in New York, is a series of hijackings of old photographs of portraits of the 1870s, which he turned into collectible cards for geeks, filled with superheroes and references to science fiction.
An unexpected side effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiderwebs. People in the area had never seen this phenomenon before. (Courtesy: National Geographic)
