It’s Friday, so we can’t help ourselves from diving into the cool waters of Facebook for fun tidbits about art.

One of my personal favorite watering holes for cultural mental floss is Loren Munk’s (aka James Kalm) [Facebook profile page](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=679833231), where he has been cultivating a following by throwing out some red meat to his pride of fellow art lions.

Today’s nugget was too good not to share, most of all for the fantastic birth of a term that we hope is used often, “vaginal surround sound.” Whatever that is sign me up!
