The World as a Cylinder

These distorted panoramic photographers are by Randy Scott Slavin for his Alternate Perspective series. He can take up to a hundred pictures of a scene to build up a 360 degree image before stitching them together to make a stereographic projection.

It might seem like yesterday to you but if in reality it was SO last century, can you remember all those daily things that you couldn't bear to be without (before the internet came around?). Time to get nostalgic.

Puppies, kittens, lambs, calfs, you name it - if they are the animal world's newest editions and wrapped in soft fuzzy fur then our brain switches into mushy-gooey-mode and all we want to do is cuddle them and keep them safe.

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that the following chicks are bone-fide geeks, but we can assure you they are cuties using stripped-down computers, or is it the other way around?

Knowing one end of a camera from another and being able to take a good picture is one thing, but if you don't have interesting subject matter you've got nothing. Every one of these pictures has great subject matter and are total classics.

Facebook. This is the place you come to show the world and your friends just how bad you are at grammar & spelling is. Prepare for a merciless put down if you manage to screw absolutely ANYTHING up!

It's important that despite all the famine and suffering in the third world that us in the first world can soldier on and find interesting new ways to spend our unearned wealth on extravagant eccentricities like these.

Sometimes the 'one-in-a-million chance of this happening', happens to you. There are people whose entire job duty is to place adverts just like this and it's safe to say that some of them got fired. We salute you.

If you ever wanted a better reason to take up an ancient Indian spiritual discipline then take a look at these cuties in Yoga pants. It'll guarantee that part of your body willl reach a higher plane of existance!

So the Olympics and the paralympics are over. The races have all been run, the medals have all been handed out and the politicians have all received their rightful booing. Time to admire the subversive street artists take on the proceedings.

It doesn't help that most of these people are as ugly as sin anyway, but add in the distortions from messing up a panoramic photo and you have some true nightmare fuel.
