The two flavors in the two-piece set were tiramisu (brown) and berries cheese (yellow). Macro photos of the two mooncakes by hartini.

Another brilliant remix by pogo. “Wishery” comprises “vocal syllables, musical chords and sound effects recorded from the 1937 Disney classic Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.” This guy is amazing and the smooth way the video is edited is even more stunning.

The Pirates Are Winning! by Jeffrey Gettleman
I’m fascinated by the existence and continued successes of the Somali pirates. This article goes into some detail about how their success with hijacking boats isn’t translating into wealth for the pirates and also how the pirates came to be.
I really want to visit London and see the Sunflower Seeds installation at the Tate Modern. Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, commissioned the production of 100 million individually handmade porcelain replicas of sunflower seeds. Visitors are invited to walk on, touch, listen, and even lay down on the huge bed of porcelain seeds that covers the length of the Modern’s Turbine Hall.

I propose adding Field Gun Competition as an event to the Olympics.
In this event, two teams compete to navigate themselves and almost 1800 lbs of cannon, cart, wheels, and ammunition through an obstacle course of walls, chasms, and gaps in the walls. Of course, for the Olympic event, I propose keeping the horn blower and the judges in naval uniforms.
