A week or so ago I posted some pictures of a Discworld Cake, but today I found something WAY cooler then that. It’s real art, as far as I’m concerned. This is a Yoda Cake! Ever since I installed the StumbleUpon toolbar I came across several great things on the instructables.com website. It’s a great place to become inspired!
You can find more pictures and the story here.

Since the day I’ve started reading the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, I’m a huge fan. Especially the older books are cleverly written and the whole concept of a discworld with dice playing gods is brilliant! I also love baking and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this webpage which describes how to make a Discworld Cake. The page the cake is displayed on is just a plain html coded page with no way of Search Engine Optimatisation. Therefore I post it here and link back to the site, because this piece of art has to gain more visibility:

So you’re on a holiday in South-Africa and because you love watching whales, you charter a yacht to take a closer look. This couple got more then they bargained for after a 40-ton Southern Right Whale jumped up from the ocean and crashed on their rental yacht. Luckily another tourist made pictures of the incident, so they had photographic proof it wasn’t their fault that the yacht was wrecked on their return.
This is how the yacht looked like after the incident:
Nobody was hurt in the incident, the whale just continued its course after the collision:

I bet most of you have seen these images somewhere sometime. It seems to be a trend to shoot a “Last Supper” image with the cast of popular films and TV Shows. Typically, they will copy the “original” painting made by Leonardo Da Vinci between 1495 and 1498, which looks like this:
According to Wikipedia, the picture depicts the event narrated in the Gospel of John, chapter 13 verse 21, where Jesus announces that one of the twelve apostles would betray him. I will quote Wikipedia’s entry on the grouping of figures:

I know this isn’t supposed to be a picture blog, but I saw this one posted on Facebook, I think it was by Scott Bilik a few days ago, and I just HAD to repost it here:
I used to hate it when my mom would bring up the ‘think about the children in Africa’ thing.
