One fails to find the words that describe Vákuum TV. That is because the site is in Hungarian, a language with which we can do nothing but point at and titter. As near as we can discern, the perpetrators have adapted Edison’s kinetescope projection technique for viewing by pressing one’s forehead against a television tube. The one-minute videos, silent pantomimes of performance art, all have a common theme of “X realizes that Y, and kills himself”. We are sure that Edison would have approved.

We are not sure how our search for publicity stills of Jonathan Price in Something Wicked This Way Comes led us to the British Lawnmower Museum, but serendipity has its day, and we can only benefit. Although we appreciate all forms of yard-follicle trimming instruments, we are particularly fond of this tricycle-like British Anzani.

Please note that the photo gallery of lawnmower manual covers is entirely work-safe, and can be viewed without the slightest trepidation of untoward scintillation.
