1. Meadowlark I like these papercuts by Alexis McQuilkin so much, that I'm dedicating the whole day to her work. See more at Lexacto and at Candy Bandit.

2. Violet Euphonia

3. Kingfisher

4. Green Bulbul .

5. Crested Seriema

1. Catch and Release I really don't believe in the concept of Karma, but this story makes me think about reconsidering my assessment.

2. Ethno-Electricity If you are a gym owner in Southern California, you should figure out a way to adapt this energy producing concept to your exercise bikes or whatever. Then, you can market your business toward all those hummus eating treehuggers.

3. Bump Then end of traditional home security comes from some Swedes and a simple ebay search.

4. Relativity M.C. Escher's optical illusions reenacted in Lego. More here, here, here and here.

5. Paper Record Player Artist, Simon Elvins, couldn't come up with a very clever name for this functional paper craft art piece.

1. Frank and Louie I've seen a lot of photos of two faced kittens but resisted posting them on here because I figured they all die after a few days of publicity. That seems sad to me and I'm trying to keep things upbeat. Then I found a video of this lady with a six year old two-facer.

2. Save Ferris Next Thursday, go see Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the fictional town Schermer, Illinois. If you aren't in the Chicagoland area, check out some of the other screening of the Rolling Roadshow.

3. Musical Goldmine This is an incredible collection of space age era songs all about the wonderful world of science. My favorite so far: Eohippus, the story of how evolution created the modern day horse, with a nice little epilogue letting us know that the process is still ongoing.

4. I Want My Two Dollars How to turn money into various objects just by carefully folding dollar bills. For a sweet gift, make this ring and put it inside this gift box.

5. Myspace Bandits IRL OMG this is totally like 1 more bullet n my ongoing war against Myspace. LOL

1. The Tring Tiles More gaps in the new testament get filled in by this ceramic tile comic strip discovered in a church in England. A young Jesus kills some kids and then brings them back to life. Later he turns some kids into pigs and then back into people again.

2. Ricky Gervais on Creation Top British comedian explains how God created Adam and Eve. Another nail in Darwin's evolutionary coffin.

3. There is No God Ukrainian man proves the non-existence of God in a very well thought out scientific study involving lions.

4. Stadium Style Sermoning A fairly long article about the state of consumer culture in the American church. There's some oddly funny stuff in here even though it is pretty sad.

5. The Rapture The main thing I learned from this educational film about the rapture is not to hire Christians because you never know when they might get called to heaven, leaving their work unfinished. And when the big day does come, who will take care of your unraptured pets.

1. Time Lapse Short videos of plants and fruits doing what they do. Living and dying. I like the dying ones better.

2. Band to Band Let's say your favorite album of 1991 is Pearl Jam's "Ten" You'd probably like to know what other albums the members of Pearl Jam played on. For instance, Eddie Vedder was in a band called Bad Radio.

3. Low Flying Aircraft There is a tiny island out in Dutch Antilles that has a tiny airport right on the tiny beach. These photos look totally fake, but the planes are actually flying over these dumb-ass beach-goers.

4. How Not to Get Early Parole Send bomb and anthrax threats to government agencies. Include your signature and prison ID number. "I think it's fair to say we were not dealing with a great criminal mind here," says U.S. Attorney.

5. Pet Panda If myspace, cooperates, (which is unlikely) you'll be able to watch this video about sleeping on the floor and keeping red pandas as pets.

1. Animation Some crazy light pen animation done with a long exposure digital camera in the dark. It also seems to be from Japan.

2. Mix and Match Music Machine Another time waster. This one took a really long time just to figure out how to operate, but it is eventually pretty cool once you figure out what sound each component makes.

3. Gardening It is about a week away, but I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can get your spade, and watering can (or whatever) together in time for World Naked Gardening Day.

4. Vintage Photoshop Oliver Stone taught me that some weird guys in New Orleans framed Oswald. This article taught me how they did it.

5. Nerd Goes to Prom Only ten dollars will get you unending torment at the hands of your classmates.

1. Jump 'n the Saddle Band I usually find gender stereotypes to be offensive. Especially the one about how all guys love the Three Stooges.

2. Arcade Earrings My own creation. Cheap earrings combining many aspects of my childhood; video games, shrinky dinks and hot pink.

3. Cobra How exactly did Cobra Commander get all those guy to fight with the G.I. Joes? Two words: Pyramid Scheme.

4. Pacman Fever It looks like these guys got a video camera for Christmas. I'll bet this is one of those cameras that had to be connected to a 75 pound set top video recorder via a long coaxial cable.

5. Robot's Cube My dad actually bought one of those books to learn the proper way to solve the Rubik's Cube. He stayed up late nights working on the thing. I can't remember if he ever solved it, maybe he should have built one of these robots.
