Monday Roundup 8!

18 February, 2008

A few weeks off, but here goes:

[Humor] Police Seek Morin: Hehe. He looks funny. And has no jaw?

[Humor] ‘Faceless’ Bank Robber: Another tricky one for the fuzz.

[Current] Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC?: Well, FSJ seems to think so…

[Entertainment] Best Scenes From “The Wicker Man”: A video compiling the… er… best moments of Nick Cage’s acting in the Wicker Man. Best is used very loosely here.

[Entertainment] Woah: The Soviet Union was well known for its lions. And its horses. And its lions riding horses. Well, it is now, anyway.

[Tech] Fluxxlab Revolution revolving door generates electricity: Okay, I have had this idea for like three years now. I really need to patent things. (Seriously! I talked about this a lot last year, with the Science Center doors…)

[Entertainment] The Art and Science of Paper Folding: Using Macs to create origami. Pretty cool.

[Humor] “And wait’ll you see all the closet space!”: Awks.

[Science] New Mini-Pterodactyl Among Smallest Known: Aw, it’s so cute! Aw, it bit my finger off!

[Random] Polar bears and dogs playing: Ah, the arctic. A wonderland of snow, ice, and murderous animals playing with dogs that they could snap like twigs. Thanks, mom, for this one (insert obligatory “Awwwww”…[for both the thank you and for the video])

That’s it for this week! Coming up next: Firing ranges! The inside story!

Monday Roundup 7!

28 January, 2008

No real need for introductions, so here are the links!

[Random] Origami Spaceplane to Launch from Space Station: This is cool.

[Science] NASA Photo Shows Humanoid Figure on Mars: So, turns out it’s about 6cm high. But that’s okay, it just looks like a tiny person, instead of a normal one…

[Random] Knitted, dissected froggy: Exactly what the title suggests.

[Entertainment] Man Imitates America’s Army, Saves Lives: See? Video games are good for people.

[Entertainment] Sculptures and furniture of weapons: And guns can be too.

[Science] Lazy option is best when waiting for the bus: I have always wondered about this.

[Random] The Stone Face: Don’t read the text. Seriously. Just look at the pictures, they are much less lame.

[Science] Robots Evolve and Learn How to Lie: This is what I was afraid of…

[Current] Honour sought for ‘Soldier Bear’: Bears are good for people, too. I’m unclear on why they had to enlist him, though.

[Current] More writer’s strike stuff: Mock debate between writers and execs, played by the writers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report (before Congress, no less…).

For the record, art is included under Entertainment. Have a good week!
