A Madison man who likes to ride around town on a scooter wearing a thong and a cape might be a shocking sight, but he’s not breaking any laws.
Thong Cape Scooter Man is definitely my favorite local weirdo.
GREAT SLOTH BEAST
MEGATHERIUM
Pronounced: meg-a-THEE-ree-um
Literally, “great beast”Megatherium was the largest of the ground sloths, and although apparently very awkward and slow-witted, his great size and strength protected him from the large meat-eaters of his time. He lived during the Pleistocene epoch which began 1 million years ago.

"Oh my God, that is a horrendously bad idea. You’re asking people to sign a blank check."

Armaments manufacturer Alfred Krupp who allegedly used slave labor to make weapons for the Nazis, contacted the famous Arnold Newman for a portrait in 1963.
Upon finding out that Newman was a Jew, Krupp refused to let him take the photograph. Newman insisted to have Krupp look at his portfolio before making a final decision and after seeing Newman’s portfolio Krupp accepted.
On July 6, 1963, they went into a factory in Essen which belonged to Krupp, where Newman decided to make Krupp look as evil as possible under the eerie demonic lighting of the factory.
When Krupp first saw the portrait he was livid. Newman was more tongue-in-cheek: “As a Jew, it’s my own little moment of revenge.”
