In comparison, here's a man holding two Samsung memory chips, created in 2009, which hold 32GB each. That's a total of 65,536 megabytes, or more than 13,000 times the storage capacity of the IBM350.

George Sand was a woman writer with a man's name!

 And she banged Chopin!

Antonin Artaud once said "we are all just meatbags full of cum."

"I can tapdance The Mikado."


Thank you Urlesque

I love animals, just not this much

Nothing to Do with Arbroath has an article about an unexpectedly sexy calendar being sold to support an Irish no-kill shelter.
"She was completely comfortable with the shoot," a shelter spokesperson said of the model, pictured above. Apparently not everyone is.

Coco wanted to wish you all a happy new year.

At least she has some clothes on this time.
