Order TV On Amazon, Get $2k Assault Rifle Instead
| August 13, 2012
Some dude ordered a TV on Amazon, ended up with a Sig Sauer SIG716 semi-automatic assault rifle instead. I fail to see the problem here?
Instead of the flat-panel TV he had bought to enjoy with his wife, who is pregnant, Horvitz opened the long packaging to discover a Sig Sauer SIG716, a high-caliber, semi-automatic assault rifle capable of mowing down, well, just about anything. Its manufacturer, Swiss Arms AG, describes it as “the rifle of choice when you require the power of a larger caliber carbine.” Awesome.
The World’s Most Famous Photo
| August 10, 2012
The Mona Lisa is widely accepted as the world’s most famous painting, not the most expensive painting and not the prettiest painting. But simply the most famous painting! It does not matter where in the world you are there will always be someone who know of this masterpiece painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. According to the Louvre in Paris more than 6.8 million people view the painting every year!
The photographic equal to Mona Lisa might be surprising to you, but if I tell you that it has been seen by more than 1 billion! people since 2002 when it was published and printed the very first time and it is very likely that you have already seen this photo at least once today.
The photograph I am talking about is of course ‘Bliss’ taken by Charles O’Rear, an author and photographer who worked as staff photographer for National Geographic for more than 25 years and who sold this image to Microsoft more than ten years ago.
In fact the image was not taken during a planned photo shoot or as a part of an assignment, it was taken during a rest stop driving through the wine region of Napa Valley in California.
