Interesting. Came across this recently on David Lynch / Angelo Badalamenti's free-jazz record's album cover.

I wonder if these paintings, specially the ones by Pieter van der Borcht, have in someway inspired Pierre Boulle to write Planet of the Apes.

I think Pierre Boulle was mostly inspired by Darwin.

So one wonders if Darwin were inclined to consider the role of evolution in the feat of humans painting monkeys, pretending to be humans and exhibiting all our follies ..

I had to disable HTTPS Everywhere to get this page to load. Even though blogspot.com supports HTTPS perfectly well, apparently this site tries to redirect to plain HTTP, and then HTTPS Everywhere says "hey, we know blogspot supports HTTPS, we'll redirect it!" and the cycle begins anew...

I don't have https everywhere anymore but adding s to the address either in Firefox on Nexus 6

Same here, it is infinite-looping.

I believe HTTPS Everywhere detects if a site sends a 301 or 302 redirect that conflicts with a rewrite rule, but it doesn't detect Javascript redirects like this page is doing:

  <script type='text/javascript'>
  if(window.location.protocol != 'http:') {
    location.href = location.href.replace("https://", "http://");
  }
  </script>
