Rundown, Briefly
TV-B-Gone. Can anything this delightful be legal? (via Cool Tools) Too Real. Schizophrenics are apparently not fooled by optical illusions that trick non-schizophrenics. Curious. Oh, that makes it better. “We didn’t actually hover an Osprey over a mosque.” A while ago, Bell & Boeing put out an ad for a type of aircraft (an Osprey) […]

True
It’s too bad I haven’t been letting the comment spam post to this blog; you’d be up to your armpits in posts here, if that were the case. Sadly, it’s not.

Skateboarding dog
You read the book, now see the movie. (Well, okay, you haven’t read the book. But that’s no excuse. Apparently this skateboarding bulldog has his own website, if you’re interested. Which you are, quite naturally.) (via CuteOverload)

Miscellany
Enter into thought about all the underplaces of London, in an interesting and highly photo-ridden post titled “London Toplogical.” Or entertain the thought of what “to call the food blech is an insult to blech” means, exactly. This and other insults that didn’t make the cut when slicing & dicing entries for Zagat guides. How […]

Adding entirely new meanings to the word “parking”
In what seems to have been some sort of combination of performance art and environmental protest (maybe?), a group took a parking space in San Francisco, fed the parking meter, and transformed the space into a park of sorts. Tranforming a private space (parking space) into a public one (park… space). Witness: One of the […]

Things you didn’t know
…last year, at this time; a list of 100 things, put out by BBC News Magazine. A sampling: Baboons can tell the difference between English and French. Zoo keepers at Port Lympne wild animal park in Kent are having to learn French to communicate with the baboons which had been transferred from Paris zoo. (#7) […]
