The question isn't about efficiency, it’s about the joy derived from exotic "bongsmithing."
EDIT: Blizzards going to implement "Bongsmithing" in their next WoW patch, I just know it. Shamans are going to get some really crazy “Bongprints.” Forget mounts, we're flying to Ogrimmar!!
I took art class... once. All the teacher did was scream at us. Luckily I also had a "photo" class which I also signed up for, and it was not what I expected. I thought we we're going to take pictures of flowers and what not, but instead it was a Photoshop class. I loved everything about that class. We had about 7 students, the greatest teacher ever (He was really cool about everything... like a young art guru or something, but he wasn’t a hippie if that’s what your getting.) and he taught me skills I use almost everyday (Something every other class failed and fails to do.)
I haven't had many art classes where I felt like I really learned anything. Even still I managed to produce some interesting stuff like the piece in the picture below no thanks to the teachers. (You didn't think I was kidding about those sculptures did you?)
EDIT: I'm a terrible painter. As such my sculptures are all bone white like that.
KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - Hundreds of people are thronging a hospital in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata to see a patient holding a piece of his own skull that fell off.
Doctors say a large, dead section of 25-year-old electrician Sambhu Roy's skull came away Sunday after severe burns starved it of blood.
"When he came to us late last year, his scalp was completely burned and within months it came off exposing the skull," Ratan Lal Bandyopadhyay, the surgeon who treated Roy told Reuters Wednesday.
"Later, we noticed that the part of his skull was loosening due to lack of blood supply to the affected area, which can happen in such extensive burn cases."
The piece came off Sunday and hundreds of people and dozens of doctors now crowd around his bed, where he lies holding the bone.
Bandyopadhyay said the skull's inner covering and the membrane which helps produce bone was miraculously unaffected, allowing fresh bone to grow.
"When the skull came off, I thought he will die, but we noticed a new covering on his head forming and that might have pushed the 'dead skull' out," he said.
While possible, such cases are extremely rare.
Roy was injured and almost killed when he was electrocuted while repairing a high voltage wire last October.
"Doctors say a new skull covering has replaced the old one, but I am not letting go of this one," he told Reuters.
He intends to keep his prized possession for life and not hand it over to the hospital when he leaves: "My skull has made me famous," he says.
Art Issue:
I've taken art since I was a kid, and my progress is pitiful, I just don't have talent in that field (Art cheats SO bad dude guy:p ) But I still do enjoy working with clay and such, just for fun. But near the end of this year, my art class devolved into me sitting still as my friend drew me in dumb poses.
Skull dude issue:
Dude...that's amazing and very disturbing at the same time. I wonder what he thought when it happened?
*Skull falls off*
Skull guy: Oh dear....Oh...OH! Jesus christ, my friggan head is falling off! AHHHHH!!!
and of course the spectators just sat there and either shreiked in terror, or laughed thinking it was a joke, while some people just kept walking. But something no one probably did was help until the situation got worse.
heh, I can totally see someones skull falling off, and it's not pleasant.
A murder defendant who wouldn't stop smiling was removed from the courtroom before being sentenced to death for killing his former girlfriend.
During his trial, Clarence Fry laughed, smiled and at one point ate candy during testimony.
Summit County Common Pleas Judge Patricia Cosgrove repeatedly warned him on Tuesday to stop smirking and making disparaging remarks about his victim. When he did not comply, the judge ordered him out of the courtroom. He watched his sentence imposed through a video link.
"You're a pure psychopath in the full sense of the word," the judge told Fry. "You have no conscience."
Fry, 46, of Akron, was convicted of aggravated murder in the killing of Tamila Hardison, 41, who was stabbed in front of her grandchildren in July 2005. He never denied stabbing her but said lesser charges were warranted because his actions were not premeditated. He claimed he was enraged because she stole things from him.
MEXICO CITY Jul 11, 2006 (AP)— Four children who won an airplane ride for good grades at school were killed along with the pilot when the small aircraft crashed in western Mexico, emergency official Hugo Huerta said Tuesday.
The plane crashed Saturday into a mango field near Tepic, 390 miles northwest of Mexico City.
The children were between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. The pilot of the plane, Alejandro Monroy, 30, was also killed.
The plane crashed just a few minutes after takeoff, appearing to drop out of the sky, Huerta said. There was no evidence of mechanical failure and officials were investigating whether something struck the airplane while it was flying.
Judge: Sir the Jury finds you Gui-
Fry: OH My God! It's a friggan' Warhead, this stuff is awesome! I remember a few years back there was this whole crazy about them and...
Judge: Sir!
Fry: Oh these things are so freakin sour! I can't wait to eat this baby...
Judge: Bayliff! (sp?)
Fry: OOH, it's like halloween up in here, I even found a sugar Daddy! This is the best day eve-
Judge: I sentence you to death! Next Case!
Heh, that would be a funny sight to see...if not a bit sad.
Presumably it was important to keep him from smiling in the courtroom. Since everyone deserves a fair trial, if he's smilin' up the place, it might be a bit damning in front of a jury.
Some people at my school almost did. The science block went up in flames when someone sneaked into the chemistry room at lunch time and set fire to some Ethanol then ran off >.<
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- A 17-year-old Colorado girl is facing a first-degree murder charge, accused by police of hiding her newborn baby in an entertainment center.
Police believe Cheyenne Corbett hid her pregnancy from her parents and delivered the baby in a shower early Sunday. Corbett was taken to the hospital for bleeding and workers called police after determining she had given birth.
She said she first started feeling pain while at band camp. Later, she told investigators that she was taking a shower and felt the urge to push, delivering her baby alone, Denver TV station KMGH reported.
She said she wrapped the baby in a towel and hid her, saying she planned to tell hospital workers where the baby was so they could help her.
An autopsy determined the baby died of asphyxiation. Corbett is a Palisade High School student.
There really is no way to comprehend such stupidity, it's so tragic...
BOULDER, Colo. - Home Depot was sued by a shopper who claims he got stuck to a restroom toilet seat because a prankster had smeared it with glue.
Bob Dougherty, 57, accused employees of ignoring his cries for help for about 15 minutes because they thought he was kidding.
“They left me there, going through all that stress,” Dougherty told The (Boulder) Daily Camera. “They just let me rot.”
The lawsuit, filed Friday, said Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck at the Louisville store on the day before Halloween 2003. A store employee who heard him calling for help informed the head clerk by radio, but the head clerk “believed it to be a hoax,” the lawsuit said.
Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said she could not comment on pending litigation.
The lawsuit said store officials called for an ambulance after about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, and as they wheeled the “frightened and humiliated” Dougherty out of the store, he passed out
Huh, somehow I missed your previous post, Night Lord. Odd.
That first news article is just sad. Poor baby. Why did she hide it? If she was pregnant, certainly everyone around knew it?
And oh my god, 15 minutes glued to a toilet suit. Certainly a fate worse than death. He certainly suffered more than anyone else is anywhere else in the world. Asshole.
He was calling for help an the employees ignored him. He turned out to be OK, but that's still really irresponsible of them. He still shouldn't get any money, though. But the morons hould be fired.
To Serephel: Some people get pregnant, but don't get a bump nor have any other ill effects, then give birth without realising it. You read about it all the time in lady magazines....not that I read them...
CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.
Phillip Distasio, who said he is the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, represented himself at his pretrial hearing Wednesday. He is charged with 74 counts including rape, pandering obscenity to minors and corrupting another with drugs.
"I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years," he said in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Wednesday. "The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."
Distasio said some of his congregants are among the victims in this case. Distaciois accused of molesting two disabled boys he tutored at his home and raping seven autistic boys at a Cleveland school for special-needs students where he was a teacher's aide. All but one of the victims were under 13.
A conviction on rape counts involving any of the eight younger boys would mean an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole eligibility, prosecutors said.
Distasio tried unsuccessfully in June to fire his court-appointed lawyer because he wouldn't pursue a religious freedom defense. Distasio could represent himself if the attorney remained as an adviser, Judge Kathleen Sutula said.

I took art class one year, but I never got to make anything out of clay. I feel somehow deprived.

"Ricky, you were right! I was pregnant!"
"Because retarded kids need lovin' too!"
I felt a little bad reading this.
