1. Amazing Screw-On Head Mike Mignola, Paul Giamatti, Patton Oswalt, Bryan Fuller, David Hyde Pierce, (Molly Shannon) and Abraham Lincoln. What more could you ask for? Actually, I could ask for a little nicer animation.

2. Cute Overload "Only the finest in Cute Imagery. Imagery that is Worth Your Internet Browsing Time. We offer an overwhelming amount of cuteness to fill your daily visual allowance. Drink it in!"

3. Pinball Parlour When visiting Earlington, Pennsylvania, stop in at the only Family Fun Center that allows unlimited free play on all it's pinball machines and video games. $6.00 per hour, $15 play for the day.

4. Plane Homes Around $300,000 gets you a decommissioned airliner converted into a luxurious living space. Just clicking the link gets you some loud music and frantic flash animation.

5. Its Never the Drummer Nothing really here but a guy that agrees with me about bands taking too long to set up equipment. I think part of band practice should be speed drills using a stop watch. You'll notice it is usually the guy with the smallest amount of gear that is holding things up. I'm looking at you guitar player.

1. Mickey Spillane: Dead "I'm not an author, I'm a writer." And a really good one at that. However, Stacy Keach was not a good Mike Hammer.

2. Postal Experiments The United States Postal Service really doesn't get enough credit. My favorite delivered item: a twenty dollar bill in a transparent envelope.

3. Combination A mostly mathematical technique for "recovering" the combination of a Master Lock. I put recovering in quotes because most people will probably use this skill to steal things.

4. A Pile of Hooey Researchers prove a connection between male physical aggression and the relative length of middle and ring fingers.

5. Feats of Strength? Certified Gripper King, Clay Edgin demonstrates the proper method for tearing a phone book in half. Don't be impressed. Anyone can do it.

1. Top Notch Police Work A five hour standoff ends abruptly when the swat team (or whatever police group has it's own freaking robot) realizes that the object of their concern wasn't even home.

2. Save a Snowflake I'm choosing one of the hottest days so far this year to let you know that you can pour Super Glue over the top of a snowflake and save it forever. Please remember this in six to seven months.

3. Kitlers I wonder what it says about the world when the worst hate-mail this site gets comes from Alison, who says "I feel for the first time in my life that I have no sense of humour: no cat deserves any connection with Hitler."

4. Bordering on Hippie I'm not even a vegetarian, I just like the idea of this hand made, letter pressed cookbook. I also like the block printed illustrations.

5. Play Pumps It seems like a good idea to build playgrounds with water pumping capabilities in drought plagued areas in Africa. But how long will it be before kids get forced to spend their lives just like little Conan when he was strapped to the Wheel of Pain?

028 - Monkey Tuesday

1. Drunks Don't See the Monkey Researchers got a bunch of people drunk and then showed them a video which featured a guy in a gorilla suit. 82% of the drunks didn't even notice the guy in the gorilla suit.

2. Aba Daba A monkey and an ape go on their honeymoon in this ancient novelty recording by Collins and Harlan.

3. Bonobo Plays Ms. Pacman I'm calling this a bonobo even though I'm not sure. It could just be a weird looking chimp. In any event, it chooses to play Ms. Pacman rather than regular old Pacman. It would be really awesome if it was playing Donkey Kong.

4. Monkey Mail The funny thing about this novelty email system is that it is presented by Career Builders, an online resource for posting resumes and finding jobs. Be advised that "Monk-e-mails created are not private messages and can be viewed and played by others on the internet."

5. Story Time Double monkey linoleum print. Number one in an edition of twenty from Karin Bolstad.

027 - Etsy - with Links!

1. Hamster I'm going to try having all Etsy days on Mondays, and I'll keep the chatter to a minimum.. First today is ssternhagen's original watercolor sketch.

2. Noise of the City A nice collage from Mixed Media Momma.

3. A Haunted Kettle Original, large format, acrylic painting by Johanna Wright.

4. Hello Bunnies Greeting cards by Magic Jelly Emporium for any occasion.

5. The Legends Is it against the rules to post my own stuff? Deal with it, I'm making the rules. This cigar box guitar is awesome.

026 - All Request

1. Sad Ghost Lamp All of today's links are brought to you by my only two readers. Rachel and Jason. This is from Rachel.

2. Fold Shirt I think this was suggested by Jason, but I find it hard to believe he folds very many shirts. If he does fold shirts, it is probably just to see if he can do it this fast..

3. Invisible Octopus Another one from Jason. Whoa.

4. Go Fug Yourself I'm allowing this one from Rachel, not endorsing it. I don't like the site, partly because of its repugnant content, but mostly because they advertise Photobucket even though half of the pictures I tried to look at said "Bandwidth Exceeded."

5. Holy Land USA I'm calling this a joint link from both Jason and Rachel. Earlier I said that they were my only two readers, but since they live in the same house, maybe they should only count as one. I don't know.

1. Red Buttons: Dead One of the last few remaining redheads is now gone. If this trend continues there will be no more natural redheads left on the planet by the year 2100.

2. Pollock Some kind of fancy-pants, flash based, time-waster based loosely on the artwork of Jackson Pollock. Click the mouse to change colors. Move faster for thinner lines.

3. Test Tube Baby Baby The first human being ever created through in vitro fertilization recently got pregnant the old-fashioned way (by doing it.)

4. Goldfish Power Some grad students or whatever have too much time and money. If only they could figure out how to run my car off goldfish power. They have to be cheaper by the gallon than gas is right now.

5. Luchador Curster loves sewing and also loves monsters. What more do you need to know?
