Michael Jackson’s 1993 Patent is cool, but he likely got the idea from this guy.

Nothing but Plague Doctors. Prior to medical/scientific knowledge about the causes of The Black Death, Plague Doctors risked their lives attempting to treat the infected while trying to protect themselves from the  “miasma.” The very sight of a Plague Doctor terrified people as he was a harbinger of death, and due to his specialty, a Plague Doctor was often forced to be a recluse himself.

I missed the debut of the The Butter Dance, but inadvertently featured it here. Don’t try this at home, or anywhere for that matter. After all *ahem* Melati Suryodarmo is a professional. [h/t kdub]

Miss Prattle

Miss Prattle, consulting Doctor Double Fee about her Pantheon Head Dress, has a very unusually shaped bottom that always points very very slightly to the southeast of her chamber pot in her chamber.  What does it mean?

I don’t know, Babs, but I do know this.

Bunk’s outta work, and may slow down his posting for a while.  Lo Siento.  Of course, maybe I’ll work for free, cleaning up the mess in the back yard and stuff.  Or maybe I’ll work for free messing around here while I drum up some busyness.

I decided that if I’m gonna be unemployed, I might as well make it worth my while and delve into savings.  If I delve frugally enough, I’ll have enough to pay for my own office while I scrounge for additional projects.  All I need is to hold my breath while the C and D students eat it.

Unfortunately for us, the C and D students run the world, but all I have to do is beat the dregs.  Meanwhile, lemme know if y’all want your windows washed.
