Fork in the Road

The fork is an elaborate - and expensive - birthday prank in honor of the 75th birthday of Bob Stane, founder of the Ice House comedy club. Stane said he first mentioned the fork in the road idea 10 years ago to his friend and partner Ken Marshall. But it wasn’t until his week-long birthday celebration, starting Oct. 29, that his friends pulled the surprise.

The wooden fork, is “expertly carved and painted,” to look like metal, Stane said. ”It’s anchored in 2 1/2-feet of concrete and steel. It’s not a public danger - unless someone drives into it.” His friends, in full Caltrans uniform complete with helmets and lights, dug the hole “in dead of night.” (via PS-N))/(indieandyy)

this fork - i’ve seen estimates ranging from 12’ to 18’ tall - appeared in a median in pasadena. it’s made of wood but painted and carved to look like metal. apparently it’s some birthday surprise prank for a 95 75 year old. i love the whole thing so much i could burst.

Huge & loud literal LOL.

“400 Costumes to Die For is GS Design’s 2009 annual self-promotional piece. Designed to help recipients decide what to be for Halloween, the piece consists of two custom-made, 20-sided dice – one with 20 modifiers, the other with 20 nouns – that together offer 400 possible original costume combinations. (Zombie Elvis, Kung-fu Jesus, M.C. Mollusk, etc.) The dice are packaged inside an illustrated cylindrical tube that rotates to line up heads on different bodies. The tube is an economical one-color hot stamp on black paper. The instructions were printed as one-color paper labels and affixed to inside of the lid.” (via)

Brain Makes Good Unconscious Decisions

(via Brain Makes Good Unconscious Decisions | Psych Central News)

Neuroscientists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky received a 2002 Nobel Prize for their 1979 research that argued humans rarely make rational decisions. Since then, this has become conventional wisdom among cognition researchers.

Contrary to Kahnneman and Tversky’s research, Alex Pouget, associate professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester, has shown that people do indeed make optimal decisions — but only when their unconscious brain makes the choice.
