May 25th is celebrated by many as Towel Day, paying tribute to Douglas Adams’ comical space book series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. So naturally, tonight is the best night of the year to drink some Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters, which, according to the book, feels like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick. While there are many “Earth” versions of the fictitious cocktail, the one we chose to post today is a more commonly served recipe. This version of the drink is served the Zaphod Beeblebrox nightclub and bar in Ottawa.

I would have sex with this entire ad campaign
Client: Ray-Ban
Agency: Cutwater
Anyone who knows me, knows that if I could I would buy every style of Ray-Ban under the sun. I love this brand. It’s basically the Converse Chuck Taylors of sunglasses - they’re timeless, they’re versatile, and they’re bold. What more could you want?
That’s why I love this campaign, showing the spanning history of Ray-Ban’s legendary style, while highlighting the brand’s bold coolness. It’s still as relevant today as it was in 1950, which isn’t a feat easily performed. And I love a good period piece, so these print ads were everything I could ask for. A pleasant surprise while flipping through magazines this month.
Happy Birthday, Ray-Ban!

Ravens Remember and Greet You Accordingly
When you go outside, do the birds sound happy or angry when they see you? New research has found that at least one group of birds, ravens, remembers prior interactions with people and varies calls based on those earlier experiences.
So it’s not too far fetched to think that if you bothered a bird some time ago, the bird might unleash the avian version of swearing the next time you approach.
The research, published in Current Biology, adds to the growing body of evidence that birds remember the appearance and voices of individuals, along with their prior encounters with them. Last year we told you how crows don’t forget faces, for example.
