Yes Virginia, there is a magenta. The other day, we linked to an blog arguing that magenta isn’t a real colour and exists only in your mind and MS Paint.

So many a second. “so_many_a_second is a visualizer that shows mondial statistics on a human scale.” Visualise the amount of porn search requests per second compared to the number of babies born per second and weep for humanity.
Las Vegas’s most prolific prostitutes. The Las Vegas Review-Journal take news websites’ obsession with slide shows to new heights with this gallery of Las Vegas prostitutes. Nice.
