The Ruins


Kevin Weir takes public domain photographs from The Library of Congress and makes them into surreal and sometimes creepy animated gifs. He gives new life to old photos, but it’s not like any life we’ve ever seen. Don’t blink or you’ll miss ..a possible spark for your nightmares tonight. We’ve featured Weir’s works before, but I thought this one was particularly worth sharing. See more of his imaginative gifs at Flux Machine. -via HuffPo

Flying pigs, eh? Was that a 'Pork Link'?

Kids these days may only know flying pigs as those recoiling after being hit by Angry Birds, but I know better. I got a Gund Flying Pig (with a little motor that flaps it wings, but does not get it airborne) from Woot! some time ago. And years before that, I had a Nerf Football with a piggy snout, ears and tail (the only web evidence of such a thing is this picture of someone else's). Of course, there's also Breadpig, but wings made of bread have questionable aeronautic capability (unless they're California Sourdough).

My family used to say "when worms go woof" after stories my father loved to tell about the giant 1 meter long earthworms that made a huffing/woofy sound that lived in the Gippsland region of Victoria where he grew up. We had to eat our words when he eventually took us on a road trip to visit his family and we went to the Giant Earthworm Museum.
