One flippered sea turtle gets help!

Allison, a rescued green sea turtle who has only one flipper, swims with the aid of a fin attached with neoprene, on April 8. Without the attached fin, Allison can only swim in circles. Sea Turtle Inc., a not-for-profit in South Padre Island, Texas, helped outfit the turtle with a black neoprene suit, with a carbon-fiber dorsal fin on the back, that allows her to swim with other turtles. Researchers think the five-year-old turtle lost a flipper in a shark attack, The Associated Press reports. (Eric Gay/AP Photo )

Guess she can't whip her hair back and forth anymore.
UK artist and Photoshop extraordinaire Steve Payne has created a bunch of impressive contemporary celeb portraits based on George Dawe's iconic 19th Century military paintings. So if you ever wanted to know what Mr. T or Steve Jobs would have looked like as Russian generals, now's your chance.
UK designer Stefvan Zoggel has taken his favorite memes and turned then into feature length film posters. Makes me want to watch them all over again.
