How to create a Hello Kitty bong. That cracks me up. And hey, there just happens to be a Sanrio store in Chatswood… I bet these things would sell like mad at Glebe Markets.

Ebert gets political.
I love it when Ebert gets all political. Now he’s defending Howard Stern and castigating Rush Limbaugh. Marry me, Roger!

Super cool war bowls
War Bowls. Oh my god, those are cool! Bowls made out of melted plastic army men, knights, and ninjas. I wonder how they make them… For some reason I imagine the melting army men would give off toxic gasses.

Information on calico cats
I just found some interesting information on tortoiseshell and calico cats. Did you know that if you clone a multi-coloured cat (like ours), it’s impossible for the offspring to be multi-coloured too? That blows my mind.

The end of ATSIC
The Prime Minister has finally decided to abolish ATSIC. Didn’t Mark Latham propose that a month ago? Are we going to spend the next six months in the lead-up to the election with the government copying every idea that Labor comes up with?

Earthquake!
Hey Sis, if I were you I’d rethink that decision to forgo earthquake insurance. Scariness.

The missing Daleks
The Snook has been faithfully taping every episode of Dr. Who since the ABC began airing them last year. I think he’s only missed one day. He then transfers them to the computer and burns them to CD. His goal, as I understand it, is to eventually own every single episode. Unfortunately a copyright dispute means that some of the most famous episodes (involving the Daleks) can’t be re-broadcast. I learned this from a great opinion piece in today’s Herald. The author goes on to explain why copyright extensions are a bad thing and how the proposed Free Trade Agreement with the US is going to result in the removal of many works from the public domain in Australia. I mean, really, can anyone honestly argue that “life plus 70 years” is that much more of an incentive to creation than “life plus 50 years”?
