OnelargeprawnIn contrast to the predictable happy endings depicted in the Disney fairy tales, Dina Goldstein’s Fallen Princesses project takes those fairy take characters and places them in modern day scenarios.
From unhappily domesticated Snow White to heavy boozer Cinderella, to a cancer-stricken Rapunzel, Goldstein replaces those “happily ever after” moments with more realistic outcomes.

I wanted to start off by saying that my Photoshop skills are as great as my penis is long but then realised how I just insulted myself so I gave up on that intro and went with something a little less self-deprecating.
I know as much about art as a garden snail knows about astrophysics, but I made something that I think looks a little arty. It was an entry that I created for a competition on the local Playstation 3 forum; I converted into a wallpaper and wanted to share it with you – it’s called Invade or Die.
Keeping true to our theme that choice is the most important priority right after love, sex, intelligence, pets, internet, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I have prepared a few different resolutions of the wallpaper in case you might actually like it and want to download a bigger version.
Right click the link of the resolution you’re interested in and select the option to save the image/link.
1280×800 | 1280×960 | 1440×900 | 1600×1200 | 1680×1050 | 1920×1200
480×272 (PSP) | 1280×720 (720p) | 1920×1080 (1080p)
Do let me know what you think about it.
Barnaby the juggler has got a neat party trick. He catches a cigarette in his mouth, strikes a match and tosses that up in the air to light the cigarette. Check it out.
How does he do that – is it sleight of hand of just good practice? Drop us a comment.

With the internet being what it is, new memes are as virulent as those unsolicited STDs you caught on the weekend (don’t worry I won’t tell anyone). And Ceiling Cat is a character spawned by the popular Lolcat meme. Word has it that the voyeuristic feline teleports between houses and pokes his head through holes in the ceiling. Why? To watch people masturbate. See below.
I can imagine you are about to pose this question: “But I don’t have a hole in my ceiling. Will this guarantee I won’t get spotted?“
The answer is NO – If there is no hole in your ceiling, he’ll make one, so it’s advisable to put your cock away.
Perving aside, Ceiling Cat can lay waste to planets with his eye lazers. Oh, he also hates Jews.
BONUS: Ceiling Cat now available in papercraft!
Make your own and stick him anywhere.
Bang-yao Liu is a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design and for his senior project, he made this most brilliant (and insanely time-consuming) stop-motion using Post-It notes. He animates a wall of coloured Post-Its around his desk to symbolize his struggles with work stress and deadlines. Liu had this to say:
Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline.

My day just got off to a cheery start. I’ve never heard of them before but the Wonder Girls are a very popular a South Korean girl group. Since their debut in 2007, they’ve scored 3 consecutive #1 hit singles and Nobody is their latest release.
It’s a catchy tune and worth a listen. With choice being one of our top priorities here at Onelargeprawn I give you two videos:
1. Watch a uniformed Korean man and two friends dancing to the song. The guy in the background remains asleep the whole time.
2. Watch the five ladies from the Wonder Girls doing their thing. They are hot. That is all.

If anyone has ever met YTAH (‘why, ta!’) from Africans.co.za, they would know he doesn’t suffer fools lightly. This hard-nosed gentleman uses bears to wipe his ass and can be a trusted ally if ever you get into an argument about which Shakespeare play sucked the most.
As I see it, the only chink in his impressive armour is the sight and smell of diarrhoea ; it is his kryptonite. I have a vial of it stashed away in case one of our encounters goes south. But I digress…
YTAH mailed me this afternoon concerning a TV show that featured a man who could supposedly commune with the dead. The usually inept postal service had mistakenly sent him a transcript of the last (unaired) show and he wanted to share it with me.
It’s a very funny read and I thought I would share the link with you. Check out “The Ghost Whisperer” at Africans.
Wednesday at work. Could I think of a better way to spend the day? Why yes, I think I can.
Wooden Path is an isometric block-shifting puzzle game that tasks you with creating a wooden bridge to cross a river. You need to position the wooden blocks together so that they make an unbroken path from one river bank to the other. Naturally bridge building is not as easy as it used to be and there are a variety of blocks of different types and sizes scattered around the level to impede your progress.
Keen spacial skills and patience will prove helpful here. Unfortunately when those traits were being given out, I was standing in line for shockingly good looks. Damn!
Play Wooden Path at Kongregate.
