Flavorwire

Today at Flavorpill, we learned about a lost Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece. We demanded more hilarious French cat videos. We imagined what the History Channel’s first reality-based fiction series about vikings would be like. We enjoyed the best Google Maps satellite imagery around the world. We wondered if Banksy’s rant about advertising was really plagiarized. We read about Billy Corgan going off at Austin’s SXSW. We learned how to survive in a free-falling elevator. We found out the best time to get in line for the new iPad. We streamed Jack White’s “Sixteen Saltines.” We uncovered the dark side of Tide. We wanted to see this new ballet about James Dean. And finally, we scoped a list of Hemingway’s favorite books. Any surprises for you?
