GI Joe edited PSAs: Hasbro's trying to get these yanked, so check 'em out while you can. My favourite is the fourth from the bottom.

Calvin Klein's Assault on Houston Street: "Can someone please explain what is up with the Calvin Klein billboard on Houston? Is it about people crawling from the primordial ooze and discovering rimming?"

Wacko Jacko Mask: If you're looking for a really scary Hallowe'en mask, I think this one is a good choice.

Harry Potter and the Search for a King: If you don't want to read the whole thing, just skip to the end of the last section and read the closing paragraphs. Yikes!

Chances 'slim' for survival of two-headed baby: Poor things. Well, if they survive, there's always a chance they could act in yet another remake of The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Night Light Suspected in Rise in Child Leukemia: This whole story seems spurious to me. If light at night time were really a significant cause of cancer, I'd expect there'd be a much higher incidence of cancer amongst the Inuit population. That whole land of the midnight sun thing has got to be carcinogenic! But if it really is just a matter of disrupted sleep, then why blame nightlights and not your snoring roommate?

Self-sustaining killer robot creates a stink: Awesome! So when is the Mars Rover going to start taking advantage of all those Martian flies (thanks, Warren Ellis)?

The Venus: Definitely NSFW. "The Venus has been designed to hide the male genitalia while providing an ultra realistic appearance." You can also purchase a Sheath With Urinating Bladder Venus. There are also "menstruating" models (thanks, zombienought).

Bellydancenet List of Belly Dance Video Clips: Lots to see here!

Jon's Jail Journal: "Jon" is serving a well-earned prison sentence. However, the conditions in jail are absolutely appalling (thanks, Neil Gaiman). Winston Churchill stated "The treatment of prisoners is a good indicator of how civilized a society is.” I guess that means the USA is not terribly civilized, but Canada is. After all, Canucks give their prisoners spa treatments and harp music.

Self-Referential Aptitude Test: My poor mind (thanks, Jack Frost).

Call of the Sirens - Air Raid Sirens of Los Angeles County: Very interesting photo essay.

And now for a picture of a very foppish little boy.
