Things We Saw Today: A Very Serious Lee Pace as the Amazing Thranduil

by Zoe Chevat | 5:02 pm, August 31st, 2012

Photos of Lee Pace as Elven King Thranduil leak, causing the usual total office Hobbit-anticipation meltdown. (Middle-Earth News)

Today marks the passing of Shulamith Firestone, iconic figure of the 60s feminist movement. (More coverage of Firestone’s life at The Frisky.)

Your living space deserves to be meta. Whether you find it unnerving, or just plain adorable, these chair chairlegs are sure to start conversations. (via Designer’s Block)

Scientists have extracted an entire human genome from a fragment of 50,000-year-old bone found in Siberia, allowing us to learn about our close human relatives. Yeah science!(Wired)

Finally, if you’re feeling under-represented with all the fantasy-world families and their crests cluttering your headspace, Jenna Busch thinks you should make your own. (The Hairpin)
