You Will Find Them if you Look in the Right Place

Everything is written somewhere, but what does it all mean?

Here are some more chocolate pancakes, featuring a certain amount of fruit to guarantee healthy eating. They were posted on the Prepared Pantry site along with other kinds of pancakes, all of which look eminently eatable.

It's important to eat.

Food sculpture seems to be a rising art form, although I don't know how the artists manage to finish a project without eating their art. Here, from Jim Victor, sculptor, and his wife, Marie Pelton, also a sculptor, is a gallery featuring their sculptures in butter, chocolate, and other food items. The art is intricate, detailed, and amazing--there are cowboys, farms, houses, all kinds of animals, and copies of classical works.

Can such things be?

And here, from tramac.com, is a nice gallery featuring demolition attachments. These are very good photos because they show you the demolition attachments removed from their plastic bubble wrap and actually working, so you can see what they do.

So many interesting things in the world, and so little time!

Tie me kangaroo down, sport.....

St. George will Like me When I'm a Parrot.

How to win friends and influence people--become a parrot!

Here's a little something for people who can't get enough chocolate, or find themselves bored with ordinary chocolate bars--it's a 22-ft chocolate sculpture of the Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building.

Chef Alain Roby made it with over 1,000 kg of chocolate, and it's now in the Guinness Book of Records.

If you like this, there are a few more chocolate sculptures, along with lots of information about chocolate, on the Chocolate Work site.

For those of you who would like a close-up view of a demolition shear attachment at work--and who wouldn't, really!--here is one from the World News Site.

Hydraulic shears are used for cutting steel, concrete, and other tough items, particularly on sites where there is a risk of fire. So if your neighbor has an oil refinery in his backyard, you might want to use shears to cut down his house, rather than good old cutting torches.

It's off to work we go.....
