Ha! Clever Overlook Hotel children’s placemat by artist Shane Parker. This is way cooler than a Denny’s “Moons Over My Hammy Omelette” placemat.

Indian chewing gum company HappyDent’s new ad campaign uses digital images of their product to create portraits of Gandhi and Mother Theresa.

I think Andy Warhol would have appreciated this.

I’ve seen stills and gifs (Kiss went viral) of James Kuhn’s bizarre face paintings but until today had not had the pleasure of viewing his videos. They’re extraordinarily creative and in some cases genuinely spooky.

Kuhn describes himself as “an artist, face paint illusionist, drag queen, performance artist, and full time Christian.” For the past couple of years he’s been creating a new face painting every day. You can view his work on his YouTube channel. Here’s a couple of my favorites:

I have to admit the designs on these vintage paper-based condom envelopes are far cooler than Crown Jewels’ Prince William and Catherine Middleton condoms. ‘Nuff said.

Einstein and David Rothman, 1939

There’s actually great back-story to Albert Einstein and those open-toed sandals. The man pictured with Einstein above is David Rothman, and he was the one responsible for selling Einstein the fancy footwear back in 1939. From Chuck Rothman’s “Albert Einstein’s Long Island Summer”:

In the summer of 1939, Albert Einstein spent his summer on Nassau Point, in Peconic, NY on eastern Long Island. My grandfather, David Rothman, was owner of Rothman’s Department Store in nearby Southold.

One June day, Einstein came into the store. Of course, my grandfather recognized him at once. He decided, though, to treat him just like any other customer.

“Are you looking for something in particular?” he asked

“Sundials,” Einstein said in his thick German accent.

Now, Rothman’s has always had a large variety of items—just about everything from housewares, to fishing tackle and bait, to hardware, to toys, to appliances. But no sundials. Not for sale, anyway. But…

“I do have one in my back yard,” my grandfather said.

He led Einstein—who seems a bit bewildered—to the back yard, to show him the sundial. “If you need one you can have this.”

Einstein took one look and began to laugh. He pointed to his feet. “No. Sundials.”

Sandals. Those, he had.
