Archaelogists from the UK and Ireland described two Iron-age "bog bodies" found in peat bogs in Clonycavan and Croghan, Ireland.

One of their most interesting findings:

It also revealed that he had been using a type of Iron Age hair gel; a vegetable plant oil mixed with a resin that had probably come from south-western France or Spain.

Ronald Wisse's Brandhead is a Flash art using corporate logos to sketch an image of a human head. Link

An interesting art, considering the recent article from the New Scientist about "How brands get wired into the brain"

Todd Barricklow makes interesting ceramic tiles - I particularly like this one humbly titled "Ribbon", and almost titled this entry "Neatorama Wins Medal".

Neatorama reader Spring said:

Todd Barricklow is an amazing ceramic artist unlike anything else going on in clay today. a strange cross between woodcuts and sculpture.

I think he also does a lot of art for posters for bands like Fantomas and the Melvins and NoMeansNo

Apparently, love comes at a steep price in South Korea. From the website:

South Korean companies looked at the wild success of Valentine's Day celebrations in their country and found ways to sell their goods and services through a tie-up with love, marketing officials say.

Thanks to shrewd marketing in a society focused on commerce as well as love and matrimony, there is a special day on the 14th of each month for lovers to celebrate as well as a few other goodies along the way.

There are as many as 21 anniversaries, special days and celebrations every year! This very interesting Reuters article explains it all: Link

Fannie Mills was born in 1859 with Milroy Disease, which caused her legs to swell - and I mean, really swell!

... it was heavily advertised that her Father had provided a dowry of "$5,000 and a well-stocked farm" to the first man who would take his daughter for a wife. (Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Mills was now deceased and never owned a farm!) It is reported that Fannie had fun with the ruse and it is a fact that she did receive many offers of marriage from all sorts of men from all over the country (the majority of whom were simply gold-diggers). In the mean time Fannie did (quietly) marry.
