Johnny Cat, if you're going to quote someone at least do it properly. Benjamin Franklin never said that, what he said was:

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I'm going to laugh so hard if this really happens. What else is there to do really?

Those hold nothing against the amusement park in Prypiat, you know, right outside Chernobyl.

Could it be any more depressing?

Fair enough, a correction: the crazy christians are going to have a field day with this :P

Oh yeah, christians are going to have a field day with this.

Sakpipa? Surely you mean "säckpipa". Säck=bag, pipa=pipe, sak=thing. Thingpipe doesn't make any sense.

That's not so special, they've been trying to burn it for years but as it turns out not even fire wants SEGA these days. That's why they're using it as the heat shield on the new space shuttles that's being developed.

The main problem is in names, since you can never really know what a person is called, and if the randomized word becomes a new word (i.e. "salon" becoming "sloan" for instance).

Wow, the other comedy troups of Halifax really must suck if this is the best they can put out.

Sounds like the phenomenon of hobo nickels.

And here's one from the north of Sweden, roughly at the same time. We got about 65% coverage:

I don't quite buy it. Even at 20 seconds the speed of the earth would cause the shadows and such to create streaks across the sky unless you have a tripod that compensates for just that (i.e. tracking).

Hedgecore, indeed full removal isn't easy, but typhically 3-5 sessions lightens most tattooes enough so you can tattoo over them anew with something else, thusly covering it up. More and more people are doing that route because they don't want to take either the money or the pain associated with lasering out the tattoo completely.

Personally, if I ever get tired of any of my tattoos I'll just cover it entirely with black and be done with it. :P

Did you guys who claim it's shopped even look at the larger version at flickr? I hardly think it's shopped, just look at the pores in the skin and how they reflect the flash etc. It would be more bothersome to actually Photoshop that than it would be to get the actual tattoo.

Either way, I see no problem with tattooing just about anything you want, as long as you know what the hell you're doing. There are plenty of people who tattoo things that they haven't thought through. Regardless if there are methods to remove tattoos you can't really go into a tattoo parlor with that in mind, you really have to think that you'll live with that picture the rest of your life and ask yourself if it's the right thing to do. Personally, I think you should live with the "idea" of the motif you want for at least a year before you're getting actually tattooed, because chances are that your opinion will change or the idea evolve during that time.

I wouldn't really call that ambidextrous drawing. Most of the time she's either moving both pencils in ways which mirror each other or she's moving one pencil while the other is essentially still.

I'd be impressed if she actually drew different things with either hand, for instance worked on the eye with the right hand and drew the mouth with the left at the same time.
