1. Highway Patrol Listen how cocky he is at the end when he says "I told you so." I wonder why he wasn't concerned about the barely visible passenger. By the way, no cop has ever asked me to get out of the car when he is writing a ticket.

2. Where the Bigfoot Lives Amateur spelunkers recently discovered the previously unknown home of America's most elusive cryptid, a giant underground cavern in Sequoia National Park. "We're just beginning to understand the scientific ramifications of this," says one expert.

3. RPS 8 nearly incomprehensible steps toward beating anyone at Rock Paper Scissors. If you can work your way through the double speak and twisted logic, you'll soon be a champion.

4. Popcorn Lung I always knew microwave popcorn was a bad idea.

5. Undock One incredible photograph of the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Atlantis as they pass across the surface of the sun.

1. Cheese Dupont recently sponsored a grilled cheese sandwich recipe contest. I doubt I'll try any of them because I'm really too lazy to make even a normal sandwich. I'm not sure how sick the judge/author was after eating more than 6,000 sandwiches, but I'm pretty sure that there were no sandwiches featuring the image of the Virgin Mary.

2. It Really Is A Small World In 1987, a bunch of art historians in Brussels, Belgium decided to make 1:25 scale models of 100 of Europe's most famous monuments. Looming over the whole of Europe is a giant geometric sculptural building , The Atomium.

3. Pothead Heaven Temple 420 is a new "religion" that claims to afford its members with the legal right to own and use "religious marijuana." While I feel that drugs should be made legal, I suspect this "church" might be nothing more than a boats-for-criminals style sting operation designed to collect the names of all the outspoken pot smokers in the United States.

4. Saidie Like I occasional do, Megan makes recommendations of noteworthy items for sale on Etsy. She has pretty good taste. So far everything she has featured has been interesting to me.

5. Karl Pilkington I've decided to use The Top Five as a make-shift Christmas list. So from now to the end of December, I'll occasionally be posting things that I want someone to buy for me. If you really love me and want to get me a gift, look for the Christmas label.

1. Fake Songwriter: Dead Only after his death, did the family of Paul Van Valkenburgh learn that he was not actually the writer of the 1960 hit, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini." Valkenburgh had apparently been misrepresenting himself for decades in a weird attempt to gain respect in the eyes of his acquaintances.

2. Airplants Epiphytes are strange plants that absorb everything they need to live from the air around them and do not need to be planted in the soil. They are supposed to be easy to keep and almost impossible to kill. They're being marketed as airplants.

3. Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam The Klingon Language Institute was formed to promote the usage of "the galaxy's fastest growing language." They also help to organize "qepHommey," gatherings of Klingon speakers for the study of Klingon at a local level,

4. Treasure Box I finally got into the Treasury at etsy and was able to create a list of featured items. I probably shouldn't have inserted one of my own items, but it was pretty hard to find enough other sellers making musical instruments.

1. Yee-Haw If it is true that the South will rise again, then I propose that it is happening right now. Prepare for the inevitable by painting your vehicle up like the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.

1. Message in a Bottle Dennis Davis wrote a note, put it in a corked bottle and threw it in the ocean off the coast of Florida. Three years later it washed up on a beach in Spain. You can easily be the online equivalent of Dennis by throwing your messages out via Oceangram.

2. Up and Away A Canadian RC plane enthusiast hooked up a crazy head-movement controlled camera rig to his airplane. When he turns his head left, the camera turns left. When he turns his head right, the camera turns right. To top it off he runs the signal to a set of virtual reality goggles in order to get the full experience of flight.

3. Permakittens Tenderbutton has come up with a scheme for producing and marketing cats which never grow beyond kittenhood. If you think this is a far fetched concept, engineered pets that are completely hypo-allergenitic are already a reality.

4. Zwok Zwok is a simple multiplayer online game in which the player lobs projectiles at his opponents. The more you play the better your character gets and the larger he grows.

5. Dominool Playing a game of trick shot billiards across four tables via the domino effect.

098 - Dance

1. Make Believe Mr. Rogers was so awesome. At a time when most people his age were condemning young kids for their crazy new ideas, he was embracing them. Look at how much interest he showed in their music and video games.

2. Junior BBoy Junior's dancing skills aren't really mindboggling, but the display of pure upper body strength is amazing.

3. Red-capped Moonwalker I'd love to see more footage of this bird sliding around and much, much less of this crazy hippie woman trying to dance.

4. Best Buy Boogie A friend of mine once told me about the "greatest hits" video collection K-mart security guards kept. There should be a website devoted entirely to these videos of customers doing embarrassing things in front of security cameras. If there is one, please let me know.

5. Step One: Get Drunk If all the dance talk has gotten you in the mood to shake a leg, How to Be Cooler has a nice lesson on how to blend in with the other dancers and not make a complete fool out of yourself.

1. Doggie Tote Bag Voz has a few other nice bags in her Fishcakes shop as well as a couple of really pretty hand tinted prints.

2. Robot Cylcops Hurry up and be the first one to purchase one of PlushBot's awesome... hmm... plush bots.

3. Party on Planet Dull Christopher Brindley has a ton of beautifully bizarre small paintings for sale.

1. Little Superstar This one video alone justifies every second of programming or coding it took to get Youtube out to the world. No number of pathetic teenage girls dancing "provocatively" to hip-hop music could ever possibly outweigh the awesomeness of this single video. It has helped me to regain my faith in humanity and made me reconsider my belief in god.

2. Halftone The Rasterbator is a nice way to create giant wallsized poster art for your college dorm room.

3. Laser The previously reported DIY Lasik Kit, is just a joke, but this home tattoo removal system seems to be legitimate. Or go with the Ira Glass soap and water removal method.

4. T/F Blufr gives you a dose of trivia wrapped in the guise of a series of true or false quizzes. Unlike Factropolis, Blufr gives a little extra background information about the trivia.

5. Fan Club The Dead Silence blog is filled with interesting news and facts about serial killers and the women who love them.

095 - Re-use

1. Frugality Dawn at Frugal for Life was nice enough to link to me today, so I'll return the favor (even though that eliminates her blog as a source from which to steal links.) I guess this is a good day to show off some ideas for being frugal.

2. Contracting Containers Don't waste a lot of money on "real" shrinky-dinks. Just cut and draw on #6 plastic and put it in the oven for a few minutes. I've used this technique for making jewelry. Rough up one side with some fine steel-wool and you can try running the plastic sheets through your inkjet printer.

3. Paper Making This isn't the exact method I use for handmaking paper, but it should work. It is a great use of all the junk mail and pre-approved credit card applications I get in the mail every freaking day.

4. Screen Saver Why buy commercial screen protectors for your cell phones, mp3 players and cameras when you already have the ingredients for making your own at home; packing tape, soap and water.

5. Digital Delinquents Many convenience stores sell "disposable" digital cameras, both still and video. With a little hacking, these can become reusable. If you use a disposable 35mm camera, remember to remove the free AA batteries before turning it in for processing.

1. Hot Chicks Hidden camera catches a mother hummingbird feeding her babies.

2. Hot Time in the Old Town Old Mother Leary's cow kicks a lantern over in a fireworks factory.

4. Hot Licks Adam Fulara plays crazy, show-off, double neck, finger-tapped guitar and makes crazy faces.

1. RAMburgular Man caught stealing computers from courthouse while on trlal... for stealing computers.

2. Strong to the Finish I've avoided mentioning the e coli/spinach crisis because I figured everyone else was talking about it. I was right. Also.

3. Leia Hat I checked out the original trilogy from the library today, so this seems like a good time to post this.

4. Coral Triangle Reporters use the discovery of approximately 60 new aquatic species off the coast of Indonesia as an opportunity to prosthelytize about global warming.

5. The TRUTH About Microsoft It is impossible to create a file named "con" on a computer running Windows. Give it a try.
