Look carefully at the photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. Taken in 1963, it shows King's march on Washington. He and his supporters were calling for an end to segregated schools, buses and hiring; an end to poll taxes and voting suppression |

News of the WeirdJanuary 16, 2013 | 07:54 AMby Chuck ShepherdCOLON WITH A VIEW
The usual 20,000 or so visitors every year to Belgium's Verbeke Foundation art park have the option (365 of them, anyway) to spend the night inside the feature attraction: a 20-foot-long, 6-foot-high polyester replica of a human colon created by Dutch designer Joep Van Lieshout.

-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
