Toilet water is not safe for drinking
On August - 10 - 2010
This sign is actually posted above the toilets at the Queens Botanical Garden. Okay, yeah the Garden has a sustainable water filtration system, but who would actually decide to take a drink from the toilet? It’s written in Braille, too, just in case someone who can’t see mistakes the toilet for a water fountain.
A bike that’s a step above the rest

Remember how the MTA planned to get rid of the awsome FML subway signs at 14th street and 6th ave? They planned to do it by moving the L up next to the 1, 2, and 3 signs.

New York City Naked Bike Ride
On June - 14 - 2010
If you were outside yesterday, you might’ve noticed something odd: a gaggle of nude cyclists in body paint. Don’t fret: We’re not being conquered by cycling nudists, it was just the 2nd annual New York City World Naked Bike Ride.
Billed by the organization’s website as a chance to “Exercise your rights to bare your chest in NYC, your rights to assemble and to protest, as guaranteed by the US Constitution,” the ride began in Brooklyn and wound it’s way up through Manhattan. Hit up Gothamist for a full gallery of photos. Don’t worry, they’re all pretty safe for work. [Gothamist]
