(Via) The Sheep Market is 10,000 individual drawings of sheep created by folks online, who were paid 2 cents each for their work. What's the point? It's art, silly! Click a sheep......

For those of you, Phillyist would like to say two things. (1) We're including some helpful keywords so you can do follow-up research on Wikipedia, at your local music store, or in your parents record collection (see: LP or Long Playing Record) (2) the fact that some......
