Just the usual interesting links from the depths of ye olde internets:
- Toaster Posessed by the Devil – Watch the whole thing (it’s short), the kicker is truly brilliant…
- The Plane Highway in the Sky – Interesting look at the airway paths from the US to Europe… I always assumed some details of this, but did not anticipate others…
- How to make a good sci-fi space helmet – Interviewing the filmmakers of sci-fi film Prospect – David Chen (and some filmmakers) tackle one of my pet peeves of SF movies…
- I have drawn the world’s worst pun – More like the world’s best pun, but then, that’s the same thing, amiright?
- Sneaky Thanos – Ah, the time honored tradition of photoshopping stuff into backgrounds of famous shots (remember Bert is Evil?) continues with this Sneaky Thanos contest, which indeed has some inspired entries.
- Peter Jackson Says He ‘Winged It’ on THE HOBBIT – Yeah, no kidding. I mean, not entirely his fault due to the realities of the production and whatnot, but it does explain how the LotR movies are so great while The Hobbit is… not.
- This Spider Has Been Dead For 110 Million Years, But Its Eyes Still Shine in The Dark – THIS IS NOT OMINOUS AT ALL.
- Forget chocolate, how about a cockroach for Valentine’s? – I’m a little late to this one, but this isn’t what you think. It’s actually a scheme wherein “A zoo in Texas is offering singles the chance to name a cockroach after their ex and see it fed to a meerkat live on camera on Valentine’s Day,” which is *chef’s kiss*
- dropgangs, or the future of darknet markets – A good overview of the past and future of black markets on the internet. Dropgangs appear to be automated messaging platforms combined with dead drops for delivery…
That’s all for now…
