Oddly enough this isn’t even the site I was looking for!

Collect them all! The back of each card features a picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam in the 1980s.

Other decks:

• The Deck of War Profiteers is almost like Pokemon, in that is organizes the people making money of of the Endless War into suits:
  • Oil, gas, and energy companies
  • US government officials
  • Military and defense contractors
  • Heads of industry, finance, media, policy, and hype
• Deck of Republican Chickenhawks is 52 prominent Republicans who are still banging the drums of war, even though they themselves ducked military service. They never had to risk their lives, and yet send the sons and daughters of Americans to their death with nary a thought.

Every year, nearly all the major car companies issue “concept cars” – Basically the company takes a bunch of their designers and has them go buck-wild. These cars tour various car shows for the rest of the year.

The concept car is a model- it is one of a kind and is not supported by mass manufacturing resources of the producing company. Sometimes the concept car isn’t even drivable, but rather a big mockup made from plastic or wax.

Very few concept cars make it to market; generally they are just a showcase of innovative design from the company. However, some of the features from the concept cars make it into general production. The Prowler closely followed the design of a concept car.

So… what happens to the concept cars after the season is over? Do they get sold to collectors? Or is there a crazy warehouse owned by each company, housing fifty crazy science fiction cars?

Andrew Hamilton’s page has VERY simple GIF animations of what it would look like to approach a black hole.

And of course, he tells you exactly why. Very cool.

The source of the Quizno’s “We like our subs!” commercials with the mutant monkeys (sometimes seen as rats).

That commercial is amazingly annoying, but really entertaining in its ghetto animation style.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy; since the characters are identical to the ones in his clip “The Moon Song” aka “We Like The Moon”.

Basically for copying games… even the ones that come on cartridges.

Amazing. I had no idea this many even existed.

And here I’ve been buying all my games like a chump!

Pretty interesting; it’s sort of a central web location for visual art.

I first saw this as linked from a commenter on my blog, Nanja
