css pencils

 
the same guy who made css house has done more insane css tricks.. very detailed “image” pencils done in pure css.. warning it might take a while to load

read what he has to say first

personally i think he’s going too far.. that is not proper use of css. of course if he enjoys doing it, why not? i screenshot his default image. it is saved as gif you see above and it is only 4.94kb but his css files are 31 - 41 times bigger..
default.css 203kb
B.css 189kb
G.css 158kb
R.css 159kb
bright.css 177kb
dark.css 163kb
grey.css 174kb
invert.css 172kb
zoomx2.css 203kb
zoomx4.css 203kb

all i can say is this guy’s got some patience.

cause of SARS

 
so have they really found the cause of SARS? apparently a microbiologist in HK who studies SARS had recently discovered SARS-like virus in civet cats. so the chinese gov’t decided to kill 10,000 civet cats. big deal right? since they were being eaten anyway. slaughtering rats had worked for china before, maybe slaughter civet cats will work this time as well?!
