Courtesy of the Snook… Buffy Trivia! It’s super easy though. I got 10/10.

Impostor Syndrome
Huh. Evidently I sleep-walked into the office last night and posted this question on AskMeFi under a different name. Because that? Is exactly the stuff I’ve been worrying about.

Only in America
The sad thing is, as soon as I read the headline about a man shooting his wife while trying to install cable television, I knew immediately that it had taken place in the US. 🙁
-
ROFLCon
Ohhhh, man. If the Snook and I were on the East Coast (or if we suddenly won the lottery), we would SO be going to ROFLCon. XKCD! Group X! The lolcats guy! Leeroy Jenkins! Everyone who’s anyone on the Internets… EXCEPT FOR US. Darn it.

Famous Last Words
The Snook directed me to this slideshow of Famous Last Words. “Scroll along to the ninth one,” he suggested. Hey, it’s Touchdown Jesus!
-
Rick Astley
Rick Astley seems pretty cool about the whole “rickrolling” thing.
-
Helicopters
Huh. I always wondered if you really do need to duck when getting in and out of helicopters. Turns out you don’t, but it’s a pretty instinctive response when you’ve got big heavy whirly things over your head.

Wacky Knitting Links
I’ve been stumbling across some wacky knitting-related links lately. First, Rob over at cockeyed has been magnifying knitting wool with this funny magnifying thing he got at a toy store. There’s a closeup view of some Noro in there! The second fun thing is this Design Exhibit in Norway, which features (down at the very bottom of the page) a knitting machine built into a hanging lamp, so when it’s switched on, it knits its own lampshade. Very neat.

Cats = Healthy Hearts
“‘Healthier hearts’ for cat owners.” According to this BBC article, the Snook and I are lowering our changes of a heart attack simply by having Dr. Amy Jones in the house.

Sweater Day
Crap. I just found out from MetaFilter that March 20 is supposed to be “Sweater Day” in honor of Mr. Rogers, and that Mr. McFeely wants everyone to wear their favorite sweater on that day. The first problem, of course, is that it’s already March 20th here. So I missed out. And secondly… IT’S NOT WINTER HERE. Stupid Northern Hemispherists.
