Google Holiday Logos: Google's repository of the funky logos that it has used in place of its main logo. Often quite clever, and sometimes quite beautiful.

The Knitted Wedding. No, I mean they knitted _everything_: not just the outfits, but the decorations, the sandwiches, the freakin' cake. Not very nutritious, I'm sure, but damned impressive.

Cornstarch/water weirdness (video). No doubt some of you have heard that these two things, when mixed, behave, well, oddly. This is a graphic demonstration of said oddity. Those of you who have played Diablo 2 will recognize the last part. :)

Thanksgiving "pardons"

from the Washington Post article "Trash Talk" (which covers, among other things, Murtha's call for withdrawing our Iraq forces within 6 months and the reaction):

The White House Web site wants your help picking a name for the two turkeys who, in a long White House tradition, will be "pardoned" by the president before Thanksgiving.

The official choices are: Democracy and Freedom; Blessing and Bounty; Marshmallow and Yam; Wattle and Snood; and Corn and Maize.

Too bad they're not accepting write-ins. You know who would win: Scooter and Karl.

heh heh heh...
