Beware of impossible objects

Worthy cause of the day:

Relevant to Divine Misconceptions:

1. More religious oppression: “ARMENIA: Will critical review halt restrictive Religion Law?”
   
2. Inappropriate attempt at enforcing Islam: “Dentist 'had Islamic dress code'”.
   
3. “It's time to drop tired, empty idea”: This article notes correctly that neither the Republican nor the Democratic party has a monopoly on morality and that the scandals have not been limited to either party.
   

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Pachyderms outdo people in cross-species chow bout”
  
• “Plastic Not-So-Fantastic: How the Versatile Material Harms the Environment and Human Health”
  
• “West's hypocrites betray Iranians”
  
• “Press TV: Take it Off Air?”
  
• “Why haven't we evolved eyes in the backs of our heads?”
  
• “Save the giant spitting earthworm”
  
• Good commentary on homeopathy: “That Mitchell and Webb Look: Homeopathic A&E”:
  
  (Tip of the hat to Bad Astronomy.)
  
• “The UN kangaroo "investigation" of Israeli "war crimes"”
  

It is well-known that M. C. Escher was one of the greatest weird artists of all time. In his honor, today’s weird things are “Escher for Real” and “Beyond Escher for Real”. Enjoy and share the weirdness.
