Earlier, artists James Harvey and Ryan Humphrey challenged the internet with an epic proposal: Retell Otomo Katsuhiro’s manga cult classic Akira in its entirety, using only characters from The Simpsons. So far, Bartkira has basically blown up on Tumblr with diverse and creative submissions. Harvey has already recruited 768 people to create 6 pages each […]
ANIMAL presents Stupid Calculations, a continuing series where practical statistics get rendered into utterly useless ones. Look forward to such topics as orange peels, whales, high-priced escorts, elevators, swimming pools, and tears of joy. Yahoo head honcho Marissa Mayer’s bought a shiny new toy.

A two-week sublet in Bushwick for $250. A $750 Park Slope studio where “THERE ARE NO WINDOWS.” A Williamsburg studio that “comes furnished with slightly used futon, sheets included.” Such are the findings on The Worst Room, a Tumblr that logs one New Yorker’s struggle to find a new apartment on Craigslist.
