Things We Saw Today

Things We Saw Today: Black Widow as Botticelli’s Venus

by Susana Polo | 5:00 pm, May 2nd, 2012


A bit skinnier than I remember Venus, but I hear those skintight catsuits aren’t exactly roomy. (So Geek Chic)

The Mary Sue discovered these cute kitty shaped self defense devices (hint: imagine two of your fingers in the eye holes), realized they don’t ship to our state, and then a discussion ensued about shipping these to our parents. We want to pass that joy on to you. (Wicked Clothes)

It’s a TARDIS watch, and presumably in addition to telling you the time, it also tells you your relative dimension in space. (Fashionably Geek)

io9 has a round up of some seriously weird Mardi Gras floats from 1873, that are trying to poke fun at the then-even-more-controversial-than-it-is-now Theory of Evolution.

io9 also has an exclusive chapter from a genderswapped version of the John Carter of Mars novels, and it’s pretty sweet.

    NY State Senator Ruben Diaz just compared the pro-choice movement to Nazis.

    Actually, it’s more like he compared his own side to the Nazis and just was too stupid to realize that’s what he was saying:

    Hitler was pro-choice. He chose to send the Jews to Auschwitz. That was
    not their choice that was Hitler’s choice. Murderers, assassins and
    criminals are pro-choice. They choose to put a gun to your head and take
    your life. That is not your choice. That is their choice.

    “So clearly, OUR choice to deprive women of their choice makes us pro-choice, too!  Just like the Nazis!  …wait.  I should’ve thought this through.”

    Heck I’d be more than willing to make a donation to the Hero Initiative. Considering all the enjoyment comics have provided me throughout my life via the works of folks like Jack Kirby, its the least I could do. I think its a shame he and his family as well as other artists, writers, inkers, letterers, can’t directly benefit from all of their works.
