Clothing for chickens
A range of fashion clothing for chickens has been launched by a group of designers working in Austria and Japan.
Austrian Edgar Honetschlaeger said he decided to work with the Japanese on the project because he hoped to make the chicken label clothing essential. He said "It's something that you don't really need but everyone wants to have anyway".

Smelly Swedish herring gets museum all its own
Fermented Baltic herring, a Swedish delicacy so smelly that the tins are best opened outdoors with a pinched nose, will be the focus of a new museum dedicated to the specialty. The museum will open on June 4 in Skeppsmalen, just north of the northern town of Oernskoeldsvik, and will give visitors a historical, cultural and culinary overview of the dish, as well as an opportunity to taste it if they dare.

Man smuggles own art into MoMA
Many a visitor to New York's Museum of Modern Art has probably thought, "I could do that." A British graffiti artist who goes by the name "Banksy" went one step further, by smuggling in his own picture of a soup can and hanging it on a wall, where it stayed for more than three days earlier this month before anybody noticed.

Dr. Sex - T.C. Boyle
"Nice string we've got going here -- plenty of room to compare books and movies." (T.C. Boyle)
Alfred C. Kinseys 1948 erschienene Studie „Das sexuelle Verhalten des Mannes“ veränderte entscheidend die amerikanische Kultur und machte ihn zum Begründer der wissenschaftlichen Sexuallehre. Mit einem leidenschaftlichen, sensiblen und humorvollen Porträt bringt Oscar®-Gewinner Bill Condon (GODS AND MONSTERS) diesen Wegbereiter der sexuellen Revolution, seine komplexe Persönlichkeit und Zeit, in Erinnerung.

Escher for Real
The work of M.C. Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. These objects will resemble the Escher's drawing, of the same name, from a certain viewing direction. This work below presents some of these three-dimensional models that were designed and built using geometric modeling and computer graphics tools.
