009 - with Links!

1. Asciimation Just when I think I've got too much time on my hands.

2. Starlings Thousands of starlings creating crazy patterns in the air. I'm not sure why starlings get such a bad rap, what makes them worse than any other kind of bird? There's also a cool video of a swarm of starlings repeatedly landing on a tree and weighing down its branches.

3. Jackdaw with Yarn More artwork from Etsy. Keeping in the spirit of the birds link above, is this print by freakydarling. Only $7.00.

4. Boner I'm a big fan of the "over-do-it" school of comedy. Take something that isn't really that funny, repeat it and it keeps getting less funny, then all of a sudden it starts getting funnier and funnier. Click around the rest of the site for more comic innuendo.

5. Vegware Plastic silverware may be the most grossly over-engineered product of modern times. Use a fork once and it will last for thousands of years. These guys say their potato starch based products will biodegrade within 90 days after using.
