Heaven and Hell

dantescreen

Nothing better encompasses the idea of heaven, hell and purgatory better than Dante’s Divine Comedy. That’s why artist Marco Brambilia, who apparently directed Demolition Man, decided to use Dante’s masterpiece as his inspiration for an art installation in New York. The Standard Hotel in New York City has an elevator with a big video screen inside it. Ascend upwards and it’ll simulate a trip to heaven. Downwards, you’re sent right to hell. A novel concept from an artist who coined the term “The Three Seashells.”

Lobster Heaven

Some days, we wake up and begin our day differently than we had previously planned. Today is a perfect example considering that I’ve just discovered a service that will – get this – trap Maine lobsters for you and will ship them to whoever you want, whenever you want. Yes, I’m trying to tell you that you can rent a Maine lobster trap.

Not only do you get delicious, fresh Maine lobsta‘, but you also get clams, mussels, local desserts and extensive information on your catch. However, the price doesn’t come cheap. At $3000, you could probably eat for a month straight at Red Lobster; not that it compares.
