loyalistLisburn, Belfast, yesterday.

I’m living next to a fairly loyalist area in Belfast and work next to a similarly loyalist area in Lisburn so naturally my daily commute this month is a pretty “Flegy” affair.
New additions this week to the regulars (Union Jack, Scottish flag, ulster banner, and UVF flag) are the pirate flag in Lisburn above and the Confederate flag just down the road. I’m not sure if its satire or I should watch my back for slavers..

The flustered minister’s finger-clicking, walk of no shame from yesterday gets its Gibb Brothers on.

Pleasantly Travolting.

…this work both orders the world and exaggerates its chaos. With the camera on a tripod, I take many dozens of pictures and simply leave the figures I choose and omit the rest (in photoshop). Nothing has been changed. Only selected.

RedHairEurope-670x554Finally.

The dying ginger gene mapped across Europe.

NUI Maynooth Biology professor James McInerney writes:

This diagram shows the distribution of red hair in Europe…

 

Genomic data is likely to answer a few questions on this [the reasons cluster of red-haired people] – like whether Red hair was more widely distributed throughout Europe in the past and nowadays it is only found on the periphery because of a later take-over of Europe by people that didn’t have red hair or alternatively, Red Hair might have originated in those places where is is found now and it never had a wide distribution….

 

No word on brown haired men who have red beards then.

Never mind.
