Friday Ephemera
How to cut string. // Carnivorous plants and their prey. // Canadian prairie towns of yore. (h/t, Kate) // Calculating machines. // 10,000 antique cameras. // “The effect of cymatic frequencies on matter.” // Forget socks, these mutant flesh sculptures are ideal Christmas gifts. // Goldfish teabags. // Bee. // Plankton. // Giant squid. // The gentlemanly world of bespoke British tailoring. // A tiny axe for squeezing the dregs out of toothpaste tubes. // Strange lands to the north. // Chocolate Lego. // 112 years of alien invasions. // Neighbourliness. // Distract small children with some 3D hand drawing. // Batman versus Darth Vader. // Tornado versus rainbow. // The rave preservation project. Re-live the largeness. // The forgotten songs of Spotify. // There are foxes in our garden. And also in Russia. // Frost flowers. // Hong Kong of the 50s. // And finally, a map of odd and saucy British place names, from Sally’s Bottom to Tickle Cock Bridge.
Neighbourliness.
“Sporting: fair and generous in one’s behaviour or treatment of others, especially in a contest”. Nice to see people being brilliant for a change.
Morning, all.
Nice to see people being brilliant for a change.
Heh. As you say, it’s sporting. And it’s a great example of how someone’s bad luck and potential humiliation – in this case, a technical failure at the worst possible moment – can turn into something… quite different.
Neighbourliness.
Wonderful. 🙂
So a fellow naively goes on line to ask if anyone knows why eating pizza gives him scrotal pain. As you do. Or as it does. (does it?)
Several pesky respondents helpfully come up with suggestions, for example:
“Uh, are you sure you’re eating the pizza correctly?”
“Pepperoni cajones?”
“Mine hurt when I smash them with a hammer but not when I eat pizza”
“Save your sack. See a quack!”
Very funny guys, reeeally funny..
from Sally’s Bottom to Tickle Cock Bridge.
I just spotted Thompson’s Bottom.
A tiny axe for squeezing the dregs out of toothpaste tubes.
In twenty years it will have paid for itself.

In the spirit of “add you own in the comments” Here’s a video on how Pitch Perfect is really about the 9/11 terrorist attacks (via Damian Penny on Twitter). Hilare…

Oh. yes, very important fashion tip in there . . . .
Wearing Speedos with certain coats no longer causes legs to disappear.
Very happy to learn of this.
Regarding something I stated on some thread here (don’t recall which) in which I said something to the effect of the Old World seeing us Americans as a bunch of dumb-ass hillbillies…Don’t know if you noticed but we’re firing up the witch trial machine again…technically not hillbilly but…come to think of it y’all recall what fun it was a little further back.
