HIERONYMUS BOSCH PAINTED SHEET MUSIC ON A MAN'S BUTT AND NOW YOU CAN HEAR IT
We now have a pretty good idea of what hell sounds like, thanks to medieval sheet music painted on a sinner’s butt. This original contribution to human knowledge comes from Amelia, a music and information systems double major at Oklahoma Christian University. Late one night, Amelia and her friend Luke were examining The Garden of Earthly Delights, the surreal triptych by Hieronymus Bosch, when they discovered something amazing: “...music written upon the posterior of one of the many tortured denizens of the rightmost panel of the painting which is intended to represent Hell.” Here's the result: https://tinyurl.com/o9enq5p

game of thrones had a lacklustre start to the season but people will mostly remember the last two episode when looking back. next week is the finale. despite it being the most expensive show on tv i still think these 10 episode seasons are weak. why bother having one of the most popular shows on tv that drives subscriptions and then penny pinch? whats 10 or 20 million dollars extra when you have 2 billion in net profits?
"If we are not brutal about diagnosing what we are up against, then all of our resistance is futile. If we think that voting for Hillary Clinton … is really going to make a difference, then I would argue we don’t understand corporate power and how it works. If you read the writings of anthropologists, there are studies about how civilizations break down; and we are certainly following that pattern. Unfortunately, there’s nothing within human nature to argue that we won’t go down the ways other civilizations have gone down. The difference is now, of course, that when we go down, the whole planet is going to go with us."
my go to bbq chicken recipe is to take a parted whole chicken and marinate it in commercial italian salad dressing (paul newman) and grill it up. here they take it to stage two with a balsamic glaze and grated parm oven toasting.
just found this food site. its bountiful!
interesting game 1 of the nba finals. its the golden state warriors v. the cleveland cavaliers for all of you not paying attention. lebron james is carrying his team with 39 points with 4 minutes remaining but his team is down 1. golden state is just so much deeper especially as clevelands third best scorer is out for the series. golden state can go 10 deep while cleveland at best has 8 although 6 have had the majority of minutes. and the 11th guy on the warriors bench was an all-star two years ago. so even if lebron wills them to victory over a game or two it just doesnt look like they can win over the course of a seven game series.
Have you been watching the U-20 Men's World Cup??

havent watched any of the french open but just noticed that djokovic v nadal is about to go down at 10 am est. nadal is somehow seeded 6th so this quarterfinal matchup came sooner than it might have in the recent past. i dont think nadal performed particularly well in the clay court tourneys leading up to the french so theres been a lot of hang-wringing as to whether his reign as clay court king is about to end. he has won 9 out of the last 10 french opens.
fivethirtyeight is liveblogging the match.
