Stop motion
How GunterĀ© is this? Here’s a couple that made a time-lapse video out of their project to assemble a Lego Star Destroyer. Very cool.
Does anyone have this lego kit?
Gollum

Don sent me this yesterday. Have fun, annoy your colleagues!
Greg sent me two on Monday. First, there’s yet another example of “people will buy anything”. And then we have an example of “people will say anything to get out of a speeding ticket”.
And here’s what I found last night. Possibly the worst beer ever. (Believe it or not, I found it on a baseball weblog…)
