TUESDAYS ARE FOR KILLING
How Do Hitmen Operate?

British criminologists claim that hitmen are more boring than we make them out to be, but their analysis can't account for the behavior of "Master" killers.
HAVE YOU NAKED BY THE END OF THIS SCROLL
In The Beginning, There Was A Nipple
espn.go.com
Ten years ago, 90 million people watching Super Bowl XXXVIII saw Janet Jackson's breast for nine-sixteenths of a second. Our culture would never be the same.
PREPARE TO CRINGE
'Fedora Parkour' Is All The Second-Hand Embarrassment You'll Ever Need

We all do dumb things when we're teenagers, but not all of us film those dumb things and upload them for public consumption.
THE SOUND IS SCARIER THAN THE VISUALS
The Oculus Rift Put Me In 'Game Of Thrones' And It Made My Stomach Drop
gizmodo.com
"Game of Thrones" might be fantasy, but the characters are so deep and the betrayals so gripping that it feels real. And thanks to Oculus Rift, I just experienced a brief slice of life in the Seven Kingdoms. It was awesome—but I'm glad to be back in our reality.

Books for designers this month: January 2014

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:49 PM PST

Every month hundreds of books are released on design-related topics. In this post you can find the books released in May that I found worth sharing.

3D Printing for Artists, Designers and Makers

The 3D printing technology has the potential to change the world. Even if it didn’t change the world, it is still a new field to explore for artists and designers. This book will help you get started with 3D printing.

LIKE CIVIL WAR REENACTMENTS, BUT IN SNOW

The German and Finnish siege and blockade of Leningrad was broken on January 18, 1943 but finally lifted a year after, on January 27, 1944. The city's name was changed back from Leningrad to St. Petersburg after the 1991 Soviet collapse.

Ex-Marlboro Man Dies From Smoking-Related Disease

Eric Lawson, a working actor who portrayed the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads during the late 1970s, has died. He was 72.
NOTHING LIKE FIRST-HAND EVIDENCE
Is Sherlock Holmes A Good Detective?
thedailybeast.com
Without Arthur Conan Doyle making him solve everything with ease, does his reasoning stand up to reasoning today.
NOT REALLY HISTORY
Why I Hate @HistoryInPics
sarahwerner.net
For months now I've been stewing about how much I hate @HistoryInPics and their ilk (@HistoryInPix, @HistoricalPics, @History_Pics, etc.)—twitter streams that do nothing more than post "old" pictures and little tidbits of captions for them. And when I say "nothing more" that's precisely what I mean.

medium.com
