The next installment from Irina Werning‘s project
You may remember Werning’s photos circulating around the Internets last winter because the concept and execution were so lovely. She asked some people to help her recreate their old photos right down to the tiniest details. Now there’s another whole set of photos floating around and they’re just as awesome. Here’s a couple:
Have you ever recreated vintage photos? We’d sure like to see them!

Our prank-loving Bunchbrary
If anyone seems overly eager to help you on Friday, tries to get you to sign a petition to save the lion finch, or tries convincing you to book a vacation to San Serriffe Island, remember that it’s April Fools’ Day. Just to keep you on your toes, so you know what sort of schemes people are capable of, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite movie pranks.
1. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
So many pranks in this movie! There’s the faking sick, the deleting of the sick days, the stealing of Abe Froman’s lunch reservation and that most fun-loving prank, hijacking a Von Steuben Day parade float and lip-synching to the Beatles. If someone is a master prankster or righteous dude, like Ferris, you really don’t want to side against them on April Fools’ Day. You don’t want to be the Edward Rooney.
What we’re reading today:
It’s no surprise that kids often come out looking much more like one parent than the other, but bi-racial twins who end up looking like they’re different ethnicities from one another is something else entirely. Little Triniti Cunningham has more of her dad’s dark features, while her twin brother Gabe has their mom’s blond hair and blue eyes. Neat. We don’t remember how to work out the punnett squares for this possibility. Via Parentcentral.ca
Statistically, a “normal” family is no longer the nuclear family we’re so often presented with: a married mom and dad and their biological children. Now, more unmarried couples are raising kids, more single women are raising kids without a male partner, more gay and lesbian couples are raising kids, etc. etc. The New York Times wants to know what says, “family” to you.
