The libraries of many Ivy League universities include one or more samples of anthropodermic bibliopegy.

LOL, there was someone on Mefi who asked how they could have this done to them after they died.

Watching some Dexter season 2

Ahaha, this show. The scene where Dexter is looking at a picture of the murderer he let get away, and then when he sees Doakes coming in, he switches to a porn site, and Doakes all like (wait, I guess I should cut so as not to ruin it for anyone else)

“The truth is that kids are fucking scary, because they’re not only an acute reminder of our own mortality, they’re a reminder that some of things you did or learned as a kid don’t matter anymore. The world has moved on and done just fine without your precious knowledge.” —Brandon Blatcher, commenting on this post on Metafilter.

The dustbin of art history – Prospect Magazine « Prospect Magazine → prospectmagazine.co.uk

Claims that we are in the decadent phase of the modernist revolution.
