That's me! I love that picture, it's all up on my myspace profile too.

I'm having flashbacks. I swear we've had this posted before, but I can't find the post. Maybe I just saw it on Flickr? It's awesome nonetheless.

Has anyone visited the new Feminist Art Gallery at the Brooklyn Museum? I went two weekends ago for the Global Feminisms exhibit, which is absolutely amazing. Disturbing and a bit depressing, but amazing.

Don't fret, String_Bean_Jen, it was posted before.

But, yeah, can you ever have too much of the Guerrilla Girls? I think not.

'Scuse me, but can somebody else plase comment in response to the idiot (hujo27) who commented stupid stereotypical hypocritical antifeminist crap on this? Please? I wasn't willing to let it stand.

Ignore the hujo, a very well-known troll (who I found out from a Flikr comment is 25 and Canadian).

Wow, do you think Hujo's single?
'Cause s/he seems like just my type!
Pity Hujo got deleted, now we can never be together :(

But there is the sulphurous, bad eggs smell of Los Angeles which grabs you by the throat as this high pressure area holds everything in. The same is true for tall buildings in narrow valleys, as in Caracas, that act as a canyon and container so that smells do not circulate freely. And this equally applies in Broad Street in beautiful Georgian Bath, one of the region’s most polluted streets, from fumes that are trapped as the older buildings bend in. The breweries of Munich throw out a distinct aroma of heavy yeast: piercingly pungent, acrid, it darts into your nose and catches you unawares. The tannery in Canterbury, England is just as bad as that of Fes in Morocco. Left untreated, the hides or skin of animals quickly begin to rot, putrefy and stink, which is why originally tanneries were on rivers at the edge of town. The penetrating smell in Fes is caused by the use of all kinds of animal products (excretions, urine and brains). It makes you look at the leather products in a different way.

More than 65,000 square miles of land have been paved in the lower 48 states to accommodate America’s 214 million cars; there are 3.9 million miles of roads, enough to circle the Earth at the equator 157 times, in that area alone. This amounts to 2.5 per cent of the total land surface – an area more than the size of Georgia, far, far more if you consider car parks and other areas.

For every five cars added to the US fleet, an area the size of a football field is covered with asphalt. Close to half of the land area in most US cities goes to providing roads, highways and parking lots for automobiles, close to two-thirds in the case of Los Angeles. Not many cities calculate their asphalt, but Munich, one of the more environmental cities in Europe, has only 4 per cent pavement, 15 per cent asphalt and 16 per cent built area, against 59 per cent vegetation and 6 per cent bare soils. Of London’s 175,000 hectare area, 62 per cent is urban – buildings, asphalt, and pavement – with 30 per cent of London’s area dedicated to parkland. Metropolitan Tokyo is 82 per cent covered with asphalt or concrete. An area the size of Leicestershire is now taken up by roads in the UK, with an additional fifth as much land given over to parking. ‘Once paved, land is not easily reclaimed,’ as environmentalist Rupert Cutler once noted. ‘Asphalt is the land’s last crop.’
