The Kentucky Derby was today. I don’t necessarily care about the race itself, but I like seeing all the big hats. This year’s winner was a horse by the name of Mind That Bird, ridden by jockey Calvin Borel. At the start of the race Mind That Bird’s odds were 50-1.

Which picture is more frightening? On the left is French Canadian singer Celine Dion, wearing who-knows-what. The one on the right is of Marilyn Manson and his soon-to-be ex-wife Dita Von Teese (who will serve Manson with divorce papers as soon as she can locate him).
