    "The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false." ~ Paul Johnson

  • I read that article online yesterday, but it had such limited info on it. I know a 2 or 3 story building was swallowed up. Did any plummet to their death? Do they even know how deep is it?


    The molemen are coming!

    Why must you throw away your life so recklessly?

  • I thought it was photoshopped at first. My first glimpse at it was the top picture and it just looks weird, but I think that's just because I've never seen a hole that massive. A picture search also turned up a whole bunch of other angles.

  • A quadruple whammy. Homeopathy thread reminded me of this photo I took a couple weeks back.

    I've a feeling Dolce will like this!




    “Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence”

  • Was browsing the Melvins Facebook page and I saw in their links to another page called Retardism. While the Retardism stuff is pretty interesting with all its often grotesque and strange subject matter, though they do have a variety of influences...

    ... The most interesting this I stumbled across was a link to an artist by the name of Otto Dix (December 2, 1891 - July 25, 1969)

    This is a subtle but powerful illustration of the ravages of modern war. Unfortunately this type of wound was far too common. First War shells didn't spray as efficiently as the did in the Second. Large pieces tended to hurl intact. As a result, shrapnel struck fewer men but with more severe results. Here the veteran stands alone against a large background. The colors and the presentation are somewhat subdued but the his gaping wound reaches out and grabs you. Dix doesn't attempt to provide commentary. He simply says, "Here, look at this." You can't help but stare.

    Men were not the only victims of their savagery. The war indiscriminately destroyed anything in its path.

    After four years of war, the landscape near Langemarck is nothing but a wasteland stripped of life and littered with human remains

    For all its discomfort, the trench was was home. Here the enemy managed to destroy a section of home and the scene is depicted almost as Armageddon. Two pieces of tattered cloth hover above the soldier. One resembles the Reaper, the other a vulture. Each awaits the soldiers fate which is most certainly death.

    The scene is other worldly as gas clouds the atmosphere. Their features are obscured by masks and their fingers are curled like claws. These are men who will kill by any means. But are they men?
