“The lover of life makes the whole world his family

just like the lover of pictures lives in a magical society of dreams painted on canvas. Thus the lover of universal life enters into the crowd as though it were an immense resevoir of electrical energy. Or we might liken him to a mirror as vast as the crowd itself; or to a kaleidoscope gifted with consciousness.”

~Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

Maybe we’ve already been to other planets, but we discovered how much cooler it was out there and decided to kick it. The world’s greatest secret could be out there somewhere,

sipping on margaritas with other life forms,

sh*T talking humanity

What if you came home and this was tossed on your couch?

Artist Kathy Weaver specializes in embroidered robot quilts.

They could make any couch unique. The use of color would make houseguests immediately realize you have a robot quilt.

“Those who never make mistakes are perceived as less likable than those who commit the occasional faux pas. Messing up draws people closer to you, makes you more human. Perfection creates distance and an unattractive air of invincibility. Those of us with flaws win every time.

This theory was tested by psychologist Elliot Aronson. In his test, he asked participants to listen to recordings of people answering a quiz. Select recordings included the sound of the person knocking over a cup of coffee. When participants were asked to rate the quizzers on likability, the coffee-spill group came out on top.”
