  1. @mythologyandhistory The start of Perth sea breezes. #windsurfing season. No more thick wet suits and regular daily 20knot winds. Sitting around at the beach with friends saying a touch less wind or a smaller sail or foil would be good. I'm starting to get excited just thinking about it. Oh and the #afl grand final of course.

    Wondering if there are means to make magnifying lenses accurately other than by trial and error or with maths?
    Any #LensMakers #TelescopeMaking #Opticians around here?

  7. In 1995, #Chinese #artist Ai WeiWei broke 2 Han Dynasty urns for a series of photographs in order to "capture a moment when tradition is challenged by new values".

    In 2014, a Miami-based artist smashed vases that Ai WeiWei had painted in protest that Perez Art Museum Miami only displayed international artists.

    Ai WeiWei stated that: "The protest itself may be valid but to damage somebody’s work to do that is questionable."

  10. I liked when Delta Goodrem's piano transformed into an unplayable platform.

    Or when Finland's fairy's bowstrings broke.

  12. Lordi singing "Kisses for Me" is the best #eurovision moment yet.

  14. Sometimes I go into YouTube & search for videos of "The Black Bottom" or the Charleston & imagine the 20 something year olds horrified #Victorian parents.

    The contrast between these generations was just so much more extreme than anything us living generations can imagine!

    (Video of the Black Bottom for your scandalous amusement:)

  15. Did you know that #Korea has a #magical #dog breed?

    The Sapsalgae are a fluffy, good-natured breed that is said to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. They are also majestically thick-coated, which almost led to their extinction during the #Japanese occupation of Korea.

    The Japanese colonists used the dog's pelts as winter coats. By the 1980s they were down to 8 animals.

    A geneticist saved their DNA & the numbers now are up to a few thousand.
