The Cathedral of Siena (Italian: Duomo di Siena), dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church and now to Santa Maria Assunta (Most Holy Mary of Assumption), is a medieval church in Siena, central Italy.
The cathedral itself was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower.

LOL I never thought I’d find this on my dash! I had to model parts of it in 3D for a project… yeah, those lovely details = a fucking nightmare (thankfully I had the easier parts).

Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke

From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.

the “something wrong?” diet pepsi ad, originally aired in 1996.

directed by peter chung, the mastermind behind the “Æon flux” animated series, it features cindy crawford and malcolm mcdowell in roles that appear to be pulled directly from the aforementioned tv show: crawford’s portrayal resembles the title character, Æon flux, while mcdowell’s seems to be trevor goodchild.

an audiovisual gem, indeed. enjoy.

o.O It really looks like the opening credits of Aeon Flux made into a Pepsi ad! SO. WEIRD.

Stockholm’s subway is better than your subway.

Unless your subway is Stockholm’s subway.

Another reason to visit Sweden! Reason número uno being the food and number two the oportunity to practise the language (which I’m currently studying, btw).

Things I now know how to say in Spanish:

thatssogross:

Duck-billed platypus = ornitorrinco. (Context: I had to read “Los Profesores” by Chilean mathematician and poet Nicanor Parra for my literature class.)

Much like Francisco, ornitorrinco is fun to say. Find the pronunciation here via Forvo, a very cool site that claims to offer the pronunciation of every word in numerous languages and that Rachel Maddow brought to my attention tonight.

I think churrasco (steak), pronounced “churrajjjjjco” with an argentinian accent, is almost as funny as ornitorrinco.
