CROWN JEWEL PENTHOUSE AT 1 MORTON SQUARE: Apparently, this property belongs to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I love this apartment. Nice. But $35,000 US a month in rent? Yikes. I guess that's how the other half lives.

Children's Drawings in the Subway: I guess Korean kids really don't like Japan.

Streaker Scores: The best streaker video I've seen in a long time (thanks, zombienought) (NSFW).

Dog Condoms Product Recall: Subject of the oddest spam I think I've ever received.

Faithful Furious Over Tactic: "Catholics express shock over lawyer's arguments that a woman who sued Portland archdiocese for child support should have used birth control." Hmm....

Happy Poo: NSFW, or possibly for your sanity. I think I've linked to it before, but cutesy Korean maggot cartoons are worth linking to at least twice.

Placenta Chair: It's more like a womb chair, but I want one, nonetheless.

Rose Bulgarian Organic Essential Oil 960ml: Not so very strange until you check out the pricetag. Won't someone buy this and score me a huge-ass commission?

Laser Treatment Kills Cancer Cells in Lab: "A nanotech-laser treatment that can destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue has been developed by Stanford University scientists."

Femininity of Arab dancing inspires lingerie collection: "The new collection of underwear by band Liz was baptized 'Raks Sharki', which means 'belly dance' in Arabic. The items present Arab designs and are already exported to eight countries, among them Lebanon, where the company has an exclusive representative."

Strange fish parade seen in Englewood: I once saw a strange moth parade. I wonder if they had similar causes....

So, I click on the essential oil thinking, "Yeah, rose oil is damned expensive and that's a lot of it...but really, how expensive can it be? A couple hundred?" Not so much eh? Jeeze!

Almost a full liter. That's a SHITLOAD of essential oil...

I work right across the street from the Olsen twins apartment. I just heard yesterday that they are living there.

I was under the impression they had bought a condo in the new "sculptural" building off Astor Place, where East and West Village meet. Also five (count 'em FIVE) $tarschmucks within five blocks.

Mary-Kate and Ashley would _probably_ find getting to class easier, and they can keep track of their product sales at the K-Mart right across the street...

I don't think that building is open yet. Have you seen the sign? Prices ranging form 3.2 million to 12 million? At the intersection of 5 streets in the East Village??

[featheredfrog.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the one. Actually, in February, before it became widely known that the Olsens were going to be living there, the prices ranged from $1.2M to $9M. The moment the world knew they would be there for four years, the prices went up.

Nice Dorm, though.

The Korean kid's drawings make me think of this news story (http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/02/21/whizb21.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/02/21/ixworld.html/news/2004/02/21/whizb21.xml).

Scary. :(
