A quick image search later and I love Andreas Gursky! Spoilered for big pics.

Spoiler:

I can't say I like the super expensive one the best but I can say I'm really impressed with composition that ends up looking like it can't possibly be a slice of three dimensional reality.

There exists such as thing as a killer under water ice tornados.

They are called Brinicles.

Wow.

Dang, from your description I was hoping for a moving tornado of ice shards, tearing fish to shreds in its path.

But that was still damn cool. I swear, I can't get enough of echinoderm time lapse recordings.

From the department of OH HELL NO!... article suggests that employers might start requesting your FB login and password.

My take on this: it's illegal to ask me during an application process about my family or marital status. Since that information would be accessible from the private profile of my FB account, it is inappropriate if not completely illegal to request this.

My view is that I would put this on the application and then never hire anybody who answered it because obviously they can't be trusted with network security.

I've heard of, although I haven't interviewed for 12 years now so I've never experienced it, potential employers asking interviewees to show them their facebook page.
