PHOTO Melting glacier forms crying woman’s face – or is that Michael Jackson?

ByAsa Hawks

No, this isn’t a Salvador Dali painting. It’s an ice cap located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Marine photographer and environmental lecturer Michael Nolan captured the image of the melting glacier, which looks like a woman’s face crying. Is that Mother Nature? The Virgin Mary? Jennifer Aniston?

I think if you enhance the photo enough you
will find Al Gore up there with a salt shaker.

UPDATE 8/3/09 – It seems there is a good deal of controversy on the interwebs as to whether this photo is a fake or not. Though I don’t think our server could handle me posting up the full-sized image, I will offer this cropped portion in its original scale. Just click the photo to zoom in and if it fills your screen horizontally or vertically you can click it again in the lower right corner for the full size. If there are photoshop buffs out there that need something more just let me know and I will help if I can. The truth must be known! (I didn’t see Al Gore.)

I got a few comments all in a row that suggested the face looks like Michael Jackson. I stared at it for a while, looked at some photos of Michael, stared at it some more…and the verdict is…Holy Crap! It looks like Michael Jackson! I’m gonna go change the title of this post.

VIDEO: World’s smallest horse Einstein quite possibly impossibly cute

ByDarren O

I decided to ramp up the cute factor here at starcasm.net with a little profile on a really little horse. Einstein is a pinto stallion that weighed just 6 lbs when he was born on Friday. On top of being so diminutive what makes little E extra-extra special is that he does not show signs of dwarfism. Get your cute on!

Austin weatherman receives most awesome thank you letter ever from 4th grader

ByDarren O

KVUE meteorologist Albert Ramon went and spoke to a local school about the weather. One of the kids in attendance, who has only been identified as Flint, was so impressed by Ramon’s presentation that he wrote him the most incredulous thank you letter of all time including but not limited to, “You’re more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out of bacon riding a cyborg unicorn.” See the letter and drawing in question and be ready to smile from ear to ear!

The “Island Green” par 3 17th hole at ‘TPC Sawgrass’, home of ‘The Players’, has arguably become the most famous hole in all of golf (refraining from Tiger joke).

See photos, videos, read about the history, layout, and even the dimesions of the little hole that terrorizes pro golfers.
