Back in the day*, I was at a party on Tokyo Bay on the Trump Princess. The Donald's super yacht used five Macintosh SEs on the bridge and chart room running System 7. All the screens looked like this when I was onboard.

Trump's Condos Lose Their Luster for Tokyo Buyers
[size=85]WALL STREET JOURNAL | 06/22/1990
TOKYO -- As Donald Trump's empire crumbles, the real estate mogul is turning up his sales pitch to cash-rich Japanese investors. But Mr. Trump's debt crisis is turning off Japanese already repelled by his exorbitant prices and high-handed attitude...

Besides the gold-plated toilets, the gauchest aspect of the Trump Princess was that all walls of the passageways were covered in taupe-gray ELEPHANT hide "for durability" according to the sales materials.

...With a pool, movie theater, disco, three elevators, two dining rooms, 11 staterooms and a reported 210 telephones, the ship didn't skimp on anything --- especially the gold-plated fittings. Trump even replaced the helipad's H with a T.

Solid and liquid cats, didgeridoos and cheese disgust scoop Ig Nobel awards

In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods. Now a scientific paper arguing that the feline species may indeed transcend some of the usual physical boundaries has been recognised with one of science’s most sought-after accolades: an Ig Nobel prize.

The theoretical treatise, entitled On the Rheology of Cats, argues that cats can technically be regarded as simultaneously solid and liquid due to their uncanny ability to adopt the shape of their container.

The annual awards ceremony for research that “first makes you laugh, then makes you think” took place at Harvard University on Thursday evening, with three bona fide Nobel laureates, including the British-born economist Oliver Hart, on hand to distribute prizes.

[...]

Marc-Antoine Fardin, of the Université Paris Diderot and sole author of the cat paper, was inspired by an internet thread featuring absurd photos of cat-filled containers, ranging from sweet jars to sinks. “This actually raised some interesting questions about what it means to be a fluid and so I thought it could be used to highlight actually serious topics at the centre of the field of rheology, the study of flows,” he said.

Fardin’s subsequent paper, published in the Rheology Bulletin in 2014, explores how to calculate a cat’s “Deborah number”, a special term used to describe fluidity, and speculated on how cats might behave if subjected to the “tilted jar experiment”.

“If you take a timelapse of a glacier on several years you will unmistakably see it flow down the mountain,” he said. “For cats, the same principle holds. If you are observing a cat on a time larger than its relaxation time, it will be soft and adapt to its container, like a liquid would.”

[...]

Other recipients include the French neuroscientists who were the first to identify the brain circuits that underpin a hatred for cheese. The brain imaging study, in which people were asked to smell cheddar, goats’ cheese and gruyère while lying in an MRI scanner, pinpointed a region called the basal ganglia as the neural epicentre of cheese disgust.

'Obscene? Pornographic?' – Louvre deems sexually explicit sculpture too risqué

The Pompidou Centre in Paris will display a sexually explicit sculpture after it was deemed too risqué for the Louvre.

Standing 12 metres tall, Domestikator, a creation from Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout, was originally expected to stand in the 13th century Tuileries Gardens adjacent to Paris’ Louvre museum as part of a contemporary art fair this month.

But the geometric sculpture, showing a red human figure appearing to penetrate a four-legged creature, was perhaps just a little too imposing for the home of French art.

“I was surprised first of all, and then of course disappointed, because it (Louvre Museum) couldn’t show the art work,” van Lieshout told Reuters TV, adding that he had never intended to elicit a sexual interpretation.

“I couldn’t explain my ideas to (the) larger public,” he said of the Louvre’s decision to pull out.

Local media said the Louvre had made its decision after a barrage of negativity on social media.

The piece, made of steel, wood and fibreglass, is now on show in the esplanade outside the high-tech architectural building of the Pompidou Centre.

“Obscene, pornographic? Well, obscenity is everywhere, pornography, sadly, is everywhere, certainly not in this work of art,” said Bernard Blistene, director of the Pompidou Centre Museum.

“This work of art is funny, it is an obvious nod to the relationship of abstraction and figurative painting that co-exist in Dutch art in the 20th century. Spiritual yes, obscene no.”

Already displayed for three years in Bochum, Germany, the sculpture had not attracted any controversy until now.

Van Lieshout insisted that his work defined the domestication of animals by humans for agriculture and industry as well as highlighting the ethical issues surrounding that.

“I don’t think it’s very sexually explicit. I mean, I don’t know what I can do to make it less sexually explicit,” he said.
