Krispy Kremes are evil mate, don't let them reproduce...:-)

I still think I prefer the petri dish cookies from a while back.

Mmmm, chocolatey mitooooossiiss....

But I'm with sqlrob - those petri dish cookies were WAY cooler!
Don't let me fool you into thinking I wouldn't eat both...

I remember seeing this a few months ago through a link from Isis's blog. There's a great one of different types of clouds represented as cream in coffee.

I remember reading about regular donuts being a visual metaphor for a cyclical cosmology, but now I see they are really about gastrulation.

Donuts ... Toroids ...
Is this going to set Pivar off again?

I would imagine that there are a lot of delicious hydrocarbons without double bonds in their carbon skeleton in those mitosis-y treats... Yum! :)

Thanks for the link, those pics are amazing! How the hell did he do the carpet 'milk drop'? Is it all just photo-shopped?

Don't dis the ellipsis ... I loooove the ellipsis ... the full-stop is so ... sudden.

My guess is that the carpet milk drop is an honest photo where the supports for the drops are hidden behind the drops by perspective. A nice example of using perspective to photograph physical impossibilities is shown at http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/ascending.html where you can see Escher's "Ascending and Descending" done in Legos.
