Amazing, who knew you could make snazzy functioning handbags out of discarded candy-wrappers of all things!

I propose the blue portions are way too small on the US flag...

When I die please don't let a stone figure claw his/her way into my tomb...

Ah, an impressive step-by-step feat. Perhaps someday I'll be energetic enough to redress the furniture...

Fascinating profiles on every psychoactive chemichal substance you can think of (plus many many more...) Oh, and lots of photos of adorable mushrooms... (seriously, adooorable.)

What an odd, yet very sweet idea...

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. There were several anecdotes that had me in tears.

From the page: "In Bent Forks, Ill., kidnapers of ice-cube magnate Worth Bohnke sent a photograph of their captive to Bohnke's family. Bohnke was seen holding up a newspaper. It was not that day's edition and, in fact, bore a prominent headline relating to Nixon's trip to China. This was pointed out to the kidnapers in a subsequent phone call. They responded by sending a new photograph showing an up-to-date newspaper. Bohnke, however, did not appear in the picture. When this, too, was refused, the kidnapers became peevish and insisted that a photograph be sent to them showing all the people over at Bohnke's house holding different issues of _Success_ magazine. They provided a mailing address and were immediately apprehended. They later admitted to FBI agents they did not understand the principle involved in the photograph/newspaper concept. "We thought it was just some kind of tradition," said one. Educators agree that such mix-ups point to poor reasoning and comprehension skills, ignorance of current events, and failure to complete work in the time allotted."

"Oakland, California: Police in Oakland, California spent two hours attempting to subdue a gunman who had barricaded himself inside his home. After firing ten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that the man was standing beside them, shouting pleas to come out and give himself up."

I think this is just a stunningly gorgeous home, the fact it's insanely eco-friendly is just all the more reason to love it. Makes me think I want to live in a wee 'hobbit hole.'
