The Baby from Nirvana Nevermind Album is 17 [PICS]

Spencer Elden was the baby that took the famous photo for Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ album 17 years ago and his parents were paid $200. He recently recreated the photo at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena, California. This is the same place where the original photo was taken.




Useless: Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991.

The Nevermind album cover shows a baby swimming toward a US dollar bill on a fishhook. According to Cobain, he conceived the idea while watching a television program on water births with Grohl. Cobain mentioned it to Geffen's art director Robert Fisher. Fisher found some stock footage of underwater births but they were too graphic for the record company. Also, the stock house that controlled the photo of a swimming baby that they subsequently settled on wanted $7,500 a year for its use, so instead Fisher sent a photographer to a pool for babies to take pictures. Five shots resulted and the band settled on the image of a three-month-old infant named Spencer Elden, the son of the photographer's friend Rick Elden. However, there was some concern because Elden's penis was visible in the image. Geffen prepared an alternate cover without the penis, as they were afraid that it would offend people, but relented when Cobain made it clear that the only compromise he would accept was a sticker covering the penis that would say "If you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."

20 Things You Didn't Know About.. Time

Discover Magazine has an excellent article on 20 things you didn't know about time. They have other categorys.



Here are some of them: Full list here

-Green days. The Department of Energy estimates that electricity demand drops by 0.5 percent during Daylight Saving Time, saving the equivalent of nearly 3 million barrels of oil.

-One second used to be defined as 1/86,400 the length of a day. However, Earth’s rotation isn’t perfectly reliable. Tidal friction from the sun and moon slows our planet and increases the length of a day by 3 milli­seconds per century.

-This means that in the time of the dinosaurs, the day was just 23 hours long.

-According to quantum theory, the shortest moment of time that can exist is known as Planck time, or 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second.

Treatment for the Extreme Gamer is Here

Is your life as you know it turning into a large Call of Duty mission? Do you live online? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have to try this new treatment. It's called 'poke yo ass stop playing' treatment.

Just don't become an anti-gamer: Somebody who still refuses to accept that video games have become a major and defining element of our culture. The belief that only lonely, agoraphobic and pencil-necked geeks play computer games is an archaic stereotype, and Anti-gamers primarily believe only geeks and nerds spend their time playing video games. In reality, this is pretty much the same as saying "only sluts ever have sex". Today, everybody plays video and computer games; anti-gamers tend to show soccer-mum qualities and *really* need to wake up and get with the times.

How to Get Banned From Wal-Mart

This is the story of how I got banned from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has been criticized by some community groups, women's rights groups, grassroots organizations, and labor unions, specifically for its extensive foreign product sourcing, low rates of employee health insurance enrollment, resistance to union representation, and alleged sexism.

Walmart responded:

In January 2006, Wal-Mart announced that "diversity efforts include new groups of minority, female and gay employees that meet at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville to advise the company on marketing and internal promotion. There are seven Business Resource Groups: women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Gays and Lesbians, and a disabled group.

1. Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.



2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.



3. Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.



4. Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.

6. Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

15. Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'
