"To the Dolphin alone, beyond all others, nature has granted what the best philosophers seek: friendship for no advantage." - Plutarch

Who was it that made the comment (I'm paraphrasing): "dolphins show a willingness to cooperate with other animals, an attribute that man has not yet managed"?

Also, it's not 'disorientated', it's 'disorientatimafisizedicated'.

The post is kind of sad. Others on here have noticed that it seems forced and unprofessional. They definitely are trying very hard to take on a cutesy tone, like a parent trying to talk to his/her kids in rap Ebonics. It's annoying, tedious, condescending and transparent. Still, it seems like they actually did their job properly and reacted in a sane, rational manner this one time.

I'm calling shenanigans on the whole flammability notion. The real reason for these seemingly random confiscations (toothpaste, batteries, nail clippers) is obviously some sort of TSA-wide scavenger hunt.

What to say about ol' Netscape? We were together for a while, sure. She was my first browser, introduced to me by a friend on my first computer. Well, we had some good times. I was still rooting for her when it became clear that IE was going to push her out of the market. Then her life was left in tatters. I just couldn't hang around and watch her throw everything away like that: desperately trying to reinvent herself every week, foundering hopelessly, clinging to a time when she was more popular. "Nutscrape" everyone jeered as she started sinking below the surface, trying to sell all of her friends useless garbage and getting more and more bogged down. Yeah, that was when I stopped paying attention ... a while back. I'm with another browser now and I can't say that I've even thought about ol' Netscape in a long, long time. *raises glass* To ol' Netscape, we'll remember you fondly.

That's a great anti-EULA! Hilarious. Good on you.

Oh my! This irony is delicious!

Those are great! While I've been able to find the occasional Lovecraftian tentacle horror, I haven't yet seen an artist try to represent the strange, non-euclidean monsters and objects that drive men mad by their mere interaction with our dimension. Maybe something like the Hounds of Tindalos?

I picture here some strange chimera that is a cross between the creatures in Carpenter's The Thing and those animations I've seen of quaternion fractals changing over time.

@ AboutBlank: Her work reminds me of an equal mix of Rousseau, Donghi and Gauguin.

As regards the comments being "disemvoweled": I don't really see how Danelda's comments would disgust anyone. (Albeit, I don't know why one would come to BoingBoing and then complain about seeing Crehore's paintings here, either.)

In response to the questions about the naked women and monkeys, here's what Crehore has to say:
"The Monkey Series takes place outdoors. The girls have a sense of freedom and relaxation that they don’t have on stage. They are alone on an island basically with monkeys for friends. I suppose the monkey takes the place of the pierrot and the sailor hat makes the monkey a male figure. The viewer will have to decide for himself what it all means."

Kind regards,

"Sometimes it seems like the city is a huge blank canvas," rather.

It's fascinating, this creative impulse that runs throughout our modern cityscapes, reinterpreting and everywhere adding personal touches to reclaim the impersonal (graffitti, culture jamming, skateboarding, free running). Sometimes it seem like the city is like a huge blank canvas.

Also, just discovered that there's a hip hop artist named D.J. Tanner.

Just in reference to the Einstein comment:

"Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment - an attitude that has never again left me, even though, later on, it has been tempered by a better insight into the causal connections."
-Einstein
