Gregor Czaykowski at the webcomic Loading Artist did a makeover of the website and did several comics about the process. This one should be familiar to anyone who ever launched a new website. It’s one of the reasons why millions of bloggers don’t stick with it more than a few weeks — via Neatorama
The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is asking for the public’s help to find who donated three human skulls to a Bellevue thrift store.
There is no information about who donated the skulls to the Bellevue Goodwill or how they came to be in the donor’s possession.
The KCME said two of the skulls of from adults and were clearly used in a medical clinic or teaching setting.
The third skull appears to be the fragile remains of a Native American child. Forensic anthropologist Kathy Taylor said the skull is that of a 5 or 6-year-old and is at least 100 years old.
According to state law, the Native American skull must be returned to its tribe of origin, but the ME needs more information to identify the correct tribe.
The office is asking that the person who donated the skulls come forward, without penalty, to provide more details about where the skull came from — via redwolf.newsvine.com

Photographer Dan Dinu had a close encounter with a curious fox that was definitely ready for its close-up. Luckily his pal Cristian Goga was able to snap the moment. Dan was making his way to St Ana Lake in central Romania when he encountered the male fox. Dan says: The behaviour is due to the fact that it has been raised by a forest ranger, therefore it was used to people. Yet, it is not right to encourage such a behaviour, as animals must remain wild. It cannot be sure that next time, instead of looking at a camera, it will not look into a rifle.

Keepers at Highland Wildlife Park are excited to announce the arrival of a Muskox calf. Mum, Karin, who was born in the Czech Republic in 2002, gave birth to the male calf on 2 June 2014.

No piñatas were harmed in the production of this rug. Made from synthetic felt, approximately 3” long. While it could probably stand up to being stepped on occasionally, this rug is an art piece that is not designed to stand up to regular foot traffic. It can easily be hung on a wall, so put a note in the seller instructions if you’d like some hanging loops attached — via Etsy
Wonder Woman is entirely charted because of the colour work, this makes it easier to lengthen/shorten and adjust sizes for a perfect fit. It was designed specifically around Cascade’s Hollywood yarn, since the glitzy shimmer is simply perfect for a superhero sweater — via Ravelry
In Jon Bentley’s latest oil paintings, Peter and Jane, the Lost Episodes
, he succeeds in recontextualising commonplace scenes with unexpected and absurdly humorous interventions. Jon recalls his first encounter with the iconic Peter and Jane books: Like many people of my generation, I learned to read with Peter, Jane, Mummy, Daddy and Pat the dog. As I struggled with the unfamiliar letters, my eyes where invariably drawn to the picture on the opposite page, full of strange details that drew me in and seemed to suggest a richer more mysterious narrative than the prosaic stories and dialogue on the written page
. Years later, Jon revisited those images and began to construct a series of alternative and surreal narratives — via My Life in Art

Canada’s wildlife is at it again, but this time they’re playing out a classic scene from literature. It’s The Count of Monte Cristo, or perhaps The Shawshank Redemption, zoo style.
In The Count of Monte Cristo, the Mad Priest miscalculates the route that his tunnel must take to break him out of imprisonment at the Château d’If and instead winds up digging into another prisoner’s cell.
Taking a page from Alexandre Dumas, a pack of 5 grey wolves at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg managed to dig a tunnel straight into the polar bear enclosure. Whoops.
Luckily for all carnivores involved, the wolves simply walked around the bear enclosure while the two female polar bears couldn’t even be bothered to wake from their slumber. Zoo staff discovered the predator party the following morning — via redwolf.newsvine.com
