This is a collection of paintings of pyramids. They are mostly Egyptian, but some Mesoamerican pyramids are mixed in. Because a lot of mystical mumbo-jumbo surrounds pyramids they were harder to collect than I thought. There were an awful lot of images with UFOs hovering about, energy beams shooting out of them, and so forth. I ignored those.

I was working in Tower 2 for Chuo Trust and Bank in 1993 during the first World Trade Center bombing; my one thought that day was “thank God, Dad is safe”. He worked in Tower 1 until a couple weeks before that bombing and fortunately was on the other side on lower Manhattan. It took me over 3 hours to walk down the stairs.
Fast forward 8 years, and Dad was back at Cantor Fitzgerald in Tower 1. I knew he was dead and had to tell my family. There simply was not enough time for him to get to safety.
I was pregnant with my daughter and my father was over the moon to be a grandfather. Life was good, then it wasn’t. In the few moments after hearing the first plane hit the World Trade Center, I knew my life, my mother’s life, my siblings’ lives and my unborn child’s life had changed. Dad was gone. A 56 year young, father of 4, married to his college sweetheart and future grandfather was annihilated from Earth. Just gone in a few moments. – Kristen

These are paintings of merchant and military sailors. That is, working sailors rather than pleasure sailors. They are from different eras and nations.
This is a discussion of how hearing works in certain situations. I was particularly interested in how the ear shape and placement assists in the determination of the direction of a sound.
The typical human, being an abnormally lazy creature, will counter intuitively not work on Labor Day. Instead they will take the day off, activate their BBQ grill, and cook various types of cow muscles on it. Hahaha... how stupid can you get? And no, I don't mean ordering the cow muscle to be cooked 'well done' instead of 'medium rare', rather I mean the name of the holiday is LABOR Day after all, and so why in the world would you think that means you take the day off instead of working? - The Robotolizer

Albert Guillaume was a late 19th century/early 20th century French artist. He was primarily known for his posters, but he painted as well. The topic of his paintings was upper-class society nightlife. He was a caricaturist and many of the details in his paintings are amusing.
