The pipe cleaner wolf is really good. (Unlike the giant homemade Kinder egg.)

I'm torn between Perverted Passions and Women and Vodka.

Creepy video, but that's me, I'm thinking many people will find it hilarious. Also, it seems significant that the comments were disabled at YouTube; you don't often see that.

Now I know where Fallout3's art direction came from.

It looked doomed to fail from about step four. Full marks for perseverance though.

"Beetle sphere". Yeah, but can he make an ashtray out of it?

David, more on the Guardian's "data-driven" coffee shop...
"The Guy Newsroom relocated to trendy Shoreditch this morning to sample Guardianista barista’d coffee in the heart of hipsterdom… We planned to write our Sun column in what is effectively the Guardian’s embassy in Tech-City. One fundamental teething problem – there is no WiFi."

Oh my. The home-made giant Kinder egg is looking pretty good in comparison. It really is pure essence of Guardian. But hey, if they can sell, oh, around 30,000 coffees a day, every day for the next five years, there’s still a chance they could offset the Guardian’s losses.
What?

LOL. Who would have guessed the smartest people in the country would screw it up?

Don’t laugh. It’s “the future of open journalism.”
Or, to paraphrase one of the many, many tweets mocking the place… “In a desperate bid to remain solvent, the Guardian has launched a satirical coffee shop.”

It must be frustrating for the polar bear to see all of those tasty appetizers displayed on the other side of the glass.

I, for one, am sick and tired of space aliens laying waste to our cities.

I first read "Sharknado" as "Snarknado"
"Enough said," indeed.
