Woman's Day has a gallery of cheese sculptures that can't be missed, from this almost-perverse "Winners Drink Milk" piece, to a phallic Eiffel Tower, to a leprechaun-like Abe Lincoln made from a 1,000-pound block of mild Cheddar cheese.

How the DC snipers hacked an ex-police car to make a killing machine
I just watched a fascinating and deeply disturbing documentary on CNN that explained how the infamous DC snipers, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, turned a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice (which, ironically, was a used police car) into a hacked killing machine. Here's an excerpt from the transcript of... More.
Avalanche caught on helmet cam
Boing Boing guestblogger Connie Choe is a health and culture writer by day and a professional kimchimonger by night. Whenever I'm hanging out on a chairlift I like to shout that I'm going to go die a cold, snowy death. Mostly so that if I were to actually perish on the ride down I could say, "I... More.
Ultraminiature model train
New Jersey model train maker David Smith built this 1-35,200 scale train set. It's 1/8" x 1/4". It's part of a bigger delightfully recursive creation. From The Telegraph: "I am creating a fictitious village called James River Branch and this model train is going to be placed inside the model sho... More.

This is a shameful practice considering how many people go without enough food in this country. These people are talented but they should be using wood or rocks or something other than foodstuffs to express themselves.
Seyo, the food shortage of the world would not be fixed by that. It may be a symbol of excess, but that's just it... it's a symbol. With the way food is distributed around the world, more food gets just discarded for no reason every day than they used to build these.
This is not cheese anyway, just american orange edible soap.
who knew?

No one ever said it was good cheese, but it is cheese nonetheless.
Is this truly actual cheese, or is it just that crappy "cheese-flavored food" stuff we Americans are accustomed to.
I was going to sarcastically comment about the shamefulness of loading one comment with that much silly self-righteousness when so many in this country don't have enough, but then I figured it might be a parody. So I'll just preempt serious comments in the same vein by pointing out that there is not a fixed amount of food production, and if some people go without enough it's not because other people are wasting cheese. If people wasted less, it would just mean farmers would produce less.
I was about to ask what version of the Eiffel Tower wouldn't be phallic. Then I looked at the pic, and I have to say: That's a damn phallic Eiffel Tower.
I never realized how much Rick Astley looks like Buddy Holly until I saw Buddy in cheese form.
Cheddar is "american orange edible soap?" I would reserve that particular crown for "American Cheese." Given that there are some really good cheeses made in America, it's really sad that we got saddled with the worst cheese outside of a can being called American.
Seyo, that's a really hypocritical and ridiculous position to take. Besides, how do you know the cheese was not eaten?
Seyo, I'd give that a D. You need to go back to Concern Troll school.
Every year the Great New York State Fair (and other places) does a butter sculpture. They're pretty intense and always a huge hit - Google images is your friend: http://images.google.com/images?q=butter+sculpture&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=DVTrSuuDF4jWMNXUxbcB&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBMQsAQwAA
Butter sculpting, ice cream sculpting, cheese sculpting, bacon sculpting. These are beautiful times we live in.
If it's good cheese, there had better be a truckload of crackers waiting after the show.
I'm not concern trolling, I genuinely find it offensive, even if it's just a matter of principal. Calling me a hypocrite is ridiculously stupid and presumptive.

Then how come everyone's so cheesed off at you?
Good to know someone gives edam
I'm not cheesed off. Obviously, seyo is just concerned about all the starving mice that cheese could have saved.
I find this offensive, dairy is cruel and needless. Shame on the sculptors!
That being said...the puns are coming! Cheese it!
There are 3 slices of pizza on a desk adjacent to me that are going to be thrown out. Please don't cry, Seyo.
"Then how come everyone's so cheesed off at you?"
also @holtt: "Good to know someone gives edam."
I see what you did there. >_
I don't know anything about cheese sculpture, but I once came across a scholarly paper on the history of butter sculpture: "Butter Cows and Butter Buildings: A History of an Unconventional Sculptural Medium," by Pamela H. Simpson. Enjoy it.
winnest comment
actually, you're wrong. It happens to the best of us.
These sculptures look rather sharp!
The sign shouldn't say it's real cheese as much as "Yes, people actually eat this garbage - and then the nutritional deficits cause them to sculpt epic scenes of bukkake at the formula one track".
Orange soap is people.
Is the cheese really bright orange? If it is, how come?
P,S, I'm not from the USA.
I love cheese. I love it so much that i can't even fault bad cheese for being awful. At a party the other night, I looked in disgust at their pedestrian cheese plate and then proceeded to eat it all. That being said, this is awesome and the cheese itself looks perfect for grating and putting between two slices of buttered bread for the grilling.
What, no Duckman quotes yet?
"This fench cheese is shape like the Eiffel tower, this one with the holes in it is shped like Switzerland, hey this one over here is shaped like a head."
i would think cheese would be a rewarding medium; you can't make nachos out of marble chips
