“The first rule of Ferris Club is that you do not talk about Ferris Club.”
This reinterpretation of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off as Fight Club is one of the best I’ve seen in a while.

A time-lapse map of every nuclear detonation between 1945 and 1998
A time-lapse map of every nuclear detonation between 1945 and 1998
Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea’s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing”the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.” It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.
Definitely visit the site; I couldn’t embed the video here, just the screen capture above…
