The first link is for the blog of a person who uses mansuetude as their username. I have to admit I didn’t have the desire to explore (which I’m sure is the reaction when people find themselves here *g*) but if you’re so inclined…

The first picture: a mastiff called Mansuetude Vertical Vision

This is a page for a british “show kennel” of mastiffs and bull terriers that goes by the name mansuetude. Their actual Web site is here. I’ve never been particularly big on dog or cat shows, and mastiffs always seemed like an animal I should always be kind of wary of, probably because of their huge heads and not so bright looking faces. (Go ahead, throw the tomatoes, but their eyes don’t look as together as other dogs, I’m sorry.) Anyway, I’m sure they’re lovely but I wouldn’t want to own one. Give me a good old fashioned mutt any day.

Obeisance

1 : a movement of the body made in token of respect or submission : bow
2 : acknowledgment of another’s superiority or importance : homage

I have found a lot of bands with names that match these daily words. I find that kind of strange. This is some metal band named Obeisance. Check them out if you want.

The picture is a series of sketches of nudes in poses of obeisance.

It’s hard to tell where these come from because when trace back to the root directory I can’t find any link that leads to anything like this. But it’s interesting, even if the bottom right one had a lot of trouble with the feet.
