Random Humor
The RAND corporation released a reference book filled with 1,000,000 random digits. It's a valuable reference tool for programmers as well as triumph for computing, but to everyone else it's pretty much worthless—that is, except to bored Amazon.com users who have made it a platform for satirical reviews. The comments are certainly worth a look. —Lonnie

The Globetrotting Artist Lands in New York for His Latest Show
http://www.nowness.com/day/2011/3/4/1343/jose-parla-off-the-wall
New York-based artist José Parlá got his start writing graffiti in Miami, but it was his dedication to transplanting the street to the gallery that won him acclaim in the art world. “Society mostly categorized [graffiti] art as vandalism, so my struggle as an artist was to show its beauty to those who could not see it,” he says, noting that, historically, the feedback wasn’t entirely positive: “The more people told me it was trash, the more I wanted to do it.” For his new show Walls, Diaries and Paintings at New York’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, the artist embarked on a global treasure hunt, collecting fliers and posters from Istanbul, Havana, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York. Parlá drew inspiration from urban walls in each of the cities, reproducing them in his richly textured works, which layer the found materials with oil paint, saw dust, spray enamel and dirt, all punctuated by tag-styled signatures. Filmmaker Matt Black, who has known the artist for over a decade, discussed the personal history that informs Parlá’s methods for today’s short, the second episode in Black's series, Reflections. Hatje Cantz will publish a monograph of the artist’s latest works in conjunction with the exhibition.

Jerry: I don’t want her here EVER, Fatsy Cline! I want them broken up by the end of the week or I’m canceling your Christmas bonus! Say goodbye to your bag of jalapeno poppers!"
Profane, probably nsfw, fictionalized NFL characters.

Studio B.I.B 500
Man on a Guinness World Record mission hand-draws his black marker collection to date.
Inspired by a Guinness Book of World Records entry for the largest collection of cigarette rolling papers, Toronto-based artist Allister Lee of Studio B.I.B decided it was time to set a goal for himself and started collecting black markers. To "mark" the 500th acquisition in this graffiti-culture obsession, and midpoint to his overall goal (and hopefully Guinness record!), he's released a hand-drawn print that shows the complete historical and international spectrum of the 500 pens in his collection to date.

You are addicted to porn
1. That statistic about 100 Million people? That's just the US. There are 2 Billion internet users worldwide.
Which means that the majority of human beings are not online.
2. Porn is a $13 Billion industry. That is amazing considering how hard it is to sell content right now. According to Forbes magazine, in 2001, the business was about a $10-14 Billion industry.
So, porn grew during the recession and piracy crisis.

Simple Great Idea
Fenske says "Hard work is a waste of time if your idea sucks." Here's an example of a great idea taking no time at all. He pushed a button and waited. The great idea comes from thinking it up in the first place, then giving it enough time to develop. Original source here.
