I can't remember which site I got this from - maybe Metafilter - but it is funny.

God I'm Lazy



So, here we go. First post in ages, pretty good one though.

This bloke has designed and built a massive Star Wars Lego diorama over 4 years that contains something like 60,000 pieces. For those in the know the diorama depicts that assault on Hoth - very nice work.

Anyway, follow the link for more wonderful images.

Halloween Costume of the Year?

Not something we celebrate with as much enthusiasm as the Yanks, but this takes my vote for Halloween costume of the year by a mile (although the Wonder Woman I saw last night gets plenty of points for other reasons).



Plenty of building shots here.

Thank You Science

Where would we be without our scientists researching, experimenting, theorising, hypothesising and developing stuff like this?

Smile Krauts!


A clever chap in Germany is using his right-hand drive British model Audi to rack up a few speeding tickets. The twist is that German speed cameras are geared to pick up a better image of the person sitting in the left-side seat, in this case it is the passenger seat. The Audi owner is clearly aware of this and has a giant muppet puppet sitting there taking the flack. All I can say is Kudos to you sir, Kudos.

Btw, that HAS to be Animal, only he would get mixed up in this sort of thing - he probably gets all hopped up on whatever he gets hopped up on, trashes the car in the end and drives it into a pool or something.

This site, SHOWstudio PERROQUET has some amazing iamges and slo-mo videos all inspired by nature photography. Ah, you already saw it on Boing Boing though, didn't you?

I wonder how much a steak costs?

This is a recent bill from a Zimbabwean restaurant. Who would have thought that you could pick up a castle for a measly 95 million?
Imagine their reaction to a $5 tip. Ouch.

Evil Euro Kangaroo

This kangaroo needs to be hunted down and killed by the authorities - not the sharks that just do their own thing in the ocean (and eat us).

City in the Sand


Kolmanskop is an amazing (former) city in Namibia that sprung up as a result of a diamond find in the early twentieth century. By the 1950s it was a ghost town. Now it is becoming one with the sand.

The first link will take you through to a few other sites with beautiful images. I just love the patterning in the sand that's in someone's former hallway or bedroom. Click the link for more!

Slow Mo, Baby

I don't know what I like best here - the water baloons are cool, as is stuff getting shot. I'll have to watch again.

Banksy


Banksy is much cleverer than you or I. There is a pretty big pool on flickr that showcases some of his stencils and other bits and pieces - check it out!

btw, the caption on the image to the right reads "We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves". A bit of a downer don't you think? Oh well, chin up.

Thanks to unusualimage for the picture.

Ants will one day rule the world


One month with no internet (thanks to moving house) and we're back!! Thanks for the thousands of emails enquiring as to what took us offline (actually there were none) but it is time to put those dark ages behind us and move onto bigger and better things.

The beautiful world of trap-door ants propelling themselves through the air to relaxing music. Quite nice actually.

21 images of the D Day landing that are mostly American but provide another look at this amazing event in our history. A few days late for the anniversary proper - this one shows some Yanks involved in planning the event on a model of Omaha Beach.

Poor nerds

This is an interesting essay on why nerds are unpopular in school. It is written from an American public school perspective but it would certainly ring true for most high school students throughout the Western world.

Karma, baby!

I love stories like this, from Aktifmag.

"This year I was in Edinburgh during the Festival. For those of you that don’t know about it pathetic street performers from around the world congregate there and punish the public with routines they can’t get paid to do anywhere else..

Now it’s no secret that I hate street performers. Especially the ones at Circular Quay but that’s another story.

So imagine my shock when I was in a park having a picnic/few beers and one started to set up his show right where myself and some friends had been sitting for 2 hours."
