Baphomet dons his fearsome "Troll" aspect.

Satanic Temple unveils 7-foot goat-headed Baphomet statue for Oklahoma Capitol

The 7-foot-tall monument would include a goat-headed Baphomet figure sitting cross-legged on a stone slab, flanked by two smiling children. The monument would also include quotes from poets Lord Byron and William Blake. [...]

After other groups -- including PETA and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster -- asked for their own displays, the Oklahoma City Capitol Preservation Commission placed a moratorium on new monuments at the statehouse. But the Satanic Temple insists erecting a monument of their own is within their constitutional rights. [...]

The group hopes to raise $20,000 by January 17 to build the monument.

"We trust that this unique monument will also prove a favorite tourist attraction to Oklahoma's Capitol for years to come," Greaves remarked.

Anyone have a theory on how Apple broke LWP?

Dear Lazyweb,

The MacOS 10.9.1 /usr/bin/perl truncates LWP-loads at the first packet, or something. Check this shit out:

$ cmd='use LWP::UserAgent;
  print $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION, " $] \n";
  for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    print length(LWP::UserAgent->new->get
      ("http://images.shutterslut.com/Bootie/Bootie-1-Jan-2014")
      ->decoded_content), "\n"; }'


$ /usr/bin/perl -e "$cmd"
6.05 5.016002

$ /opt/local/bin/perl -e "$cmd"

How can I make /usr/bin/perl work properly again?

Beauty Calibrator

"The Beauty Calibrator measured the degree to which a person's face and head differed from what was deemed to be ideal, was used to determine the most effective makeup solution."


Proto-CV Dazzle:

"Makeup developed in the 1940s for black-and-white television. [...] The new cameras transmitted images in negative. The company's solution was a makeup that looked highly unnatural in real life but appeared natural when reversed on screen."

That explanation is obvious nonsense. This explanation is slightly less nonsensical, but it still doesn't make much sense to me without an A/B comparison of shots like this and what they looked like on screen, which I've been unable to find.
