365 Knitting Clock

365 Knitting Clock:

Wrote its creator, Siren Elise Wilhemsen, "The 365 knitting clock was made to measure and register time in a three dimensional form to visualize the otherwise invisible time factor that connects us all. Instead of showing time in numbers, the tool we normally use to understand and organise time, the knitting clock shows the philosophical point of the ongoing process of time. It is knitting the hours and the days and shows the time as something that is constantly moving, changing and developing."

"Every passing of a half hour is marked by the knitting of a stitch, a full day is measured by a full circle around the clock and a year results in a two-meter-long scarf. After one year the wool has to be replaced and a new year can be knitted. The year that has passed is this year's scarf. And the coming year is the wool unknitted."

Too wonderful.

So the moldy ones didn't do the trick, eh?

They ate the contents anyway.

Maybe this iteration will protect your precious PB&G from the stealing hungry hordes in your office.

"Each of these clear plastic bags has a bug printed on it, making anything you put inside look decidedly less appetizing."

Burmese python swallows heating blanket: X-ray wins contest

Burmese python swallows heating blanket: X-ray wins contest:

 

Python-x-500

"It's not your everyday foreign body," said Dr. Gregory Rich, the Metairie, Louisiana veterinarian whose 12-foot-long Burmese python patient swallowed the 3-foot-by-4-foot blanket in an attempt to eat a rabbit placed in its cage.

From ReptileChannel.com: "Rich [who works at the West Esplanade Veterinary clinic] has seen plenty of reptiles swallow things they shouldn't. A heating blanket typically isn't one of them.

"But that's what an X-ray [top] of one his patients, a Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus) [below], revealed.

Python-pre-500

"Rich [below]

Python-post-500

submitted the X-ray to Veterinary Practice News'third annual X-ray contest. After considering about 60 entries, judges named it the grand prize winner in the professional category.

"Rich said most keepers of large snakes don’t use heating blankets inside their cages. Including one with small snakes generally isn't an issue. 'But to have a heating blanket in with a 65-pound snake,' he said, 'it can consume a 1-pound heating blanket no problem.'"
