		Oooookay, my WTF meter has bent its needle over this: ![[Image: NataliaPonyskaya_zps73e92b7c.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/NataliaPonyskaya_zps73e92b7c.jpg) 
... because Russia is magic!  Yes, comrades, it's Natalia Ponyskaya.  But really, yes, she's cute, but a pony ...?

This was a powerful machine. Once.
 
Still boots. Still works. Monitor's dying. System overheats slightly. But up until a month ago it was in use, sitting for months at a time without being shut down, acting as a network bridge between an Xbox and a wifi router downstairs. And, occasionally, playing R1 DvD's. It outlasted the machine bought after it by two years and looks set to keep going inspite of a battery leak

		What Did You Do in the War, Miku?

		A talented but obviously insane  artist has done a number of pictures of Hatsune Miku, often in multiples, participating in various actions in World War I (as below), WW2 (he did one in which she replaces apparently all of the Bismarck 's crew), and possibly some others. ![[Image: WhatDidYouDointheWarMiku_zps9a261bd7.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/WhatDidYouDointheWarMiku_zps9a261bd7.jpg)  
Edit:  link to "Safebooru" ; the artist uses "rxjx" as his, her, or its name.

		David (it is David, right?), you don't give a statement like that without a link.
 So with that in mind, could we have one?
 EDIT:  Thank you

		I was wondering about that picture, too.  It apparently has the title "neat room."  I'm guessing something about the stairs leading up to ... whatever it is (some kind of loft perched atop that bookcase?) may be sort of cool -- and the view out the windows looks nice if you like woodlands.  I kind of like to look at  woodlands like this, as long as I don't have to be  there where the vegetation will trigger my allergies, and the animals will try to dispute my place on the food chain.... 
I discovered some wild art by a fellow named Yehudi Mercado.  I can't track down a single site, or even two or three, that'll show you all his art, but consider these samples:
 ![[Image: GameofThronesofMuppets_zpsb48311d1.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/GameofThronesofMuppets_zpsb48311d1.jpg) 
There're pics showing each of these characters solo, and larger than in this image.  Mercado also did a series of images he calls "History Fighter," showing various historical figures as if they were superheroes or villains.  Davey Crockett is obviously the Punisher, right down to the skull symbol -- with a raccoon mask -- on his chest.  Teddy Roosevelt looks like he might be Sabertooth.  And ... well, look at a few:
 ![[Image: JoanofArc_zps540ef9fd.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/JoanofArc_zps540ef9fd.jpg)  ![[Image: NikolaTesla_zps27feb7d9.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/NikolaTesla_zps27feb7d9.jpg)  ![[Image: MarieCurie_zps4bd1dec8.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/MarieCurie_zps4bd1dec8.jpg) 
Warning:  I shrank these a bit for storage on my hard drive; the originals are much  larger.
 
Oh, and the following image is something I considered putting under Crossovers That Should Not Even Be Thought Of:
 ![[Image: OrkyMoon_zps740da243.jpg]](http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y382/DHBirr/OrkyMoon_zps740da243.jpg) 
Even W40K orks can enjoy a bit of cosplay.  No?

I admit, that one isn't really a 'wtf' pic, just something I thought looked neat,

		Ever wondered what it'd look like if everyone ever implicated in a JFK assassination conspiracy actually had  been in a conspiracy?  Well, in 1998 D Magazine  of Dallas, Texas, did just that.  Here's the result:
