Old lady in the bar ordered an onigiri, giving the cook some stick because of the time it's taking - "What are you doing, growing the rice?" Cue laughter from the regulars sat at the counter. Cook speechless. You go girl.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor.

Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6
