"QUANTUM SHOT" #157
You may not know about Cthulhu, but they know about you
The last post about Antarctica reminded me of that "unspeakable delicacy" of Lovecraft's imagination, namely the Cthulhu - "the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky."

According to contemporary belief, a few of the species still lie dreaming, sleeping until the time comes - sort of like Lenin in his mausoleum, but infinitely more malevolent. This post serves to remind us of the coming threat ...and increase world awareness of Lenin's miserable plight - his ghost can not get any rest until the body gets a decent burial :)

Cthulhu for kids
Signs of Cthulhu were spotted in a former Russian Communist Pioneer Camp:
see photographic evidence in a link here
Architecture like that helps impressionable children to get used to the Cthulhu's presence (which would also explain a lot of weirdness in Soviet Russia)
Cthulhu toys:
(see more at John Kovalic's site)
Also see this Flickr set for nature's weirdest Cthulhu approximation.
The Mutant Lemon

For the strangely Lovecraftian pastime for housewives, see this "Brain on Wool", and other examples of Scientifically Accurate Fabric Brain Art:
