This Man Calls Himself The Book Surgeon. What He Creates Is Insane.

New York City-based artist Brian Dettmer‘s nickname is the “Book Surgeon,” and with good reason. His art is created almost exclusively using old books, text books, and encyclopedias. So why the nickname? 

It’s because Dettmer uses surgical tools, like scalpels and knives to transform these old books into amazingly intricate works of art. I know it sounds a bit strange, but trust me the results are amazing. Just have a look. 

(Via: Bored Panda)

That’s such an amazing way to repurpose old books. It’s much better than just throwing them out. Don’t forget to share this innovative art with your friends on Facebook by clicking below.

‘Ban dogs’? Mark Kelly’s daughter’s vicious attack dog eliminates infant sea lion

http://twitter.com/#!/FossJason/status/316433335025025024

Time for a national discussion on attack puppies?

Gabby Giffords, the woman gun-grabbing spouse Mark Kelly along with his 18-year-old girl were vacationing in Laguna seashore final weekend whenever things turned ugly. The child’s 65-pound bulldog assaulted and killed a child sea lion.

JWF asks:

[W]hy didn’t Mark Kelly keep much better control over this animal? How does someone need such a big dog? Is he trying to prove how macho he’s or something? What number of more water lions must perish?!?!

If we can save just one sea lion from Kelly/Giffords family …
