17th century wax relief

Of plague victims, now available for auction at Christies with a great testimonial from the Marquis de Sade:
"So powerful is the impression produced by this masterpiece that even as you gaze at it your other senses are played upon, moans audible, you wrinkle your nose as if you could detect the evil odours of mortality… These scenes of the plague appealed to my cruel imagination: and I mused, how many persons had undergone these awful metamorphoses thanks to my wickedness?' (Sade, op. cit.)."

In a perfect world....

This is a cool, very simple idea. These guys placed a video camera on a sushi boat carousel and let it record what it saw. There's nothing mindblowing here, but what I find neat is the impartial observation of the camera. This reminds me a little of the cat camera, where a guy attached a small camera to his cat's neck. The camera would take a picture every once in a while, revealing what the cat had been up to. Check out the cat camera, why don't you?
