And all of their riders are hanging in my dungeon.

We received over a thousand comments for our most recent Tosh.0 Caption Challenge!

After much deliberation, we picked the following caption from a comment left by Jedediah.

Laugh all you want, but his hat is perfectly dry.

For his next art project, he's going to do the Triple Lindy!

The hardest part is recreating this face:

Today is Arbor Day!

Sure, the holiday seems a little redundant and single-minded after celebrating Earth Day last Thursday. You're probably saying, "Didn't I just plant a tree 8 days ago?"

If you are saying that and you did plant a tree ? which, come on, you didn't ? then you can take this Arbor Day off.

But the rest of us, we need to do our part.

Me? I am going to buy this ring with live Icelandic moss growing out of it. Why? Because I have an extra $450 and I want my punches to taste like environmental awareness.

This "History of Art" image has been making its way around the Internet today.  Why?  I have no idea.  According to some random comments, it's a T shirt design from the 1990s (which I can neither confirm nor deny).

Regardless of how old it is though, it's about time someone pointed out that it has a glaring flaw.

Each of the smiley faces is drawn in the style of the artist, except for Van Gogh which is just a representation of Van Gogh.  Van Gogh is not known for drawing realistic depictions of himself; he's known for his thick brush strokes and vivid colors.

Way to drop the ball terrible '90s T shirt design that is seeing new life on the Internet!

And congratulations to me for correcting some anonymous idiot that no one cares about.  My sense of superiority is alarmingly high.  My sense of accomplishment, however, is pathetically low.

Danish artist Nina Maria Kleivan was home in a wheelchair for four months after giving birth to her second child. What did she do to kill time? Oh, ya know, the same thing any other mother would do. She dressed her baby up as the worst dictators in history and took pictures. Naturally.

My mom used to dress me up as a doctor so at least we know these pictures aren't a guaranteed path to evil dictatorship.

Looks like she's got more on her mind than the future. Or maybe that is her future?

Either way, I hope he's paying $3.99 a minute for this, because that's one hell of a drawing.

The idea behind this "living photograph" is that, despite being videotaped, the subject holds his pose to attempt to look like a photograph.

Why he has to be naked, holding a teacup, and making an expression like he can't avoid the fact he's about to be ass-raped is beyond me.

I guess that's art.

Apparently, the Tosh.0 blog now covers art.  Who knew?

On our radar today, Jon Rafman, an artist who — according to designboom — has created a series of pieces culled entirely from Google Street View.  He searches their archive of drive-by photography looking for interesting images, takes a screengrab and then blows them up to wall-mounting size.

It's great for him because, unlike a real photographer, he doesn't have to actually take any pictures.  Saves him a fortune on film and developing.  (Or at least it could if people still used film and developing.)

Additionally, I feel like he's got to be breaking some sort of law which can really help his artist street cred.  I believe it's considered heroic in the art world when you take on a giant business conglomerate.  Heroic or "the easy way out"… I forget which one.

Regardless, there are a couple awesome finds such as this gun-toting maniac and these Segway riding weirdos.  And you have to respect a man who spends his days scanning every inch of Google Street View.

Oh wait…  Did I say "respect"?  I meant "get a real job!"
