The lesser known facts of the Apollo 11 moon landing

By Space and Aliens

How the Apollo 11 team decided who walks on the moonOn hearing of Neil Armstrong’s death, I decided to delve a little bit into the life of the first man to walk the moon. I was excited to discover he was an engineer. Shying from the lime light, in a rare interview in 2000 he described himself as

‘I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer.’  

RIP 5 August 1930 – 25 August 2012

Evil pink aliens planning the earth's ultimate demiseRemember the recent Higgs boson discovery cartoon?  This was a follow up cartoon involving our characters of the month – the evil pink aliens.

Have you not entered the August Name the Evil Pink Aliens Competition yet?

Well the good news is that you still have time left, as it closes this Friday.

The bad news (What, there’s bad news? I thought I’d subscribed to a fun-loving cartoon website) is that we’ll be taking a break from the monthly competition for a while.  Don’t miss out. Click now.

Warning: Extreme grafitti hitting the streets

Giraffiti: Vandalism at extreme height

You may recall a previous cartoon on the Mensa Invitational Word Play Competition, where I drew the new word Hipatitis.  Well, it’s taken me that long to come up with another one from this competition – Giraffiti.  The cartoon was so obvious, it flashed in my mind as soon as I read it. My dilemma then started when I had to actually find an example of this extreme graffiti at soaring heights. This is the best I could achieve in the end, after weeks of searching (just a casual eye whilst driving the streets of Melbourne – I do have a life you know). It eventually occurred to me, that for a graffiti artist, you simply can’t erect your scaffolding to create your next piece of work, as it would obviously draw unwanted attention.

If you find an example of giraffiti in your city, I would be really grateful if you would share it with me.
