You’re gonna die: It’s inevitable. One day, you’ll be drinking orange juice or waiting for the bus or listening to the radio, and then you won’t be—forever. But how will you go? In 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 57 American men will fall off a cliff to meet an untimely end. Some 26,987 will bite the dust courtesy of pancreatic cancer. And 3,920 will get hit by a car and end up with a harp and wings. One will go out by shark attack. And homicide? 12,372. Pap pap!

Light entertainment: High dynamic range photography (HDR for short) is a technique that involves cramming a bunch of different exposures of an image together to create a photograph that captures not just the visible light, but all the light possible. The results can be wild and surreal, and even fake looking, like models or CGI. See 35 of the best at www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/03/10/35-fantastic-hdr-pictures/.
