Lil’ directed me to Literally, A Web Log which led me to This Is Broken at which I found a “caution” sign made funnier by virtue of my being a totally sick individual.
So, remember. This is all Lil’s fault.

So. Who wants to pony up and buy a late birthday present for everyone’s favorite little grey duck?
Okay, I kid. I’ll probably buy one myself at some point in the near future. I just wanted to get the link posted here so I won’t forget that I want one, let alone where I found them.

How to destroy the Earth
If you’re anything like me, which in this case means “a geeky weirdo with a fascination not only for the physical sciences but also anything which involves what Marvin the Martian once called an Earth-shattering kaboom,” a description which probably applies any number of Mythbusters fans, you might want to read up on how to destroy the Earth.
Here’s a sample quote to whet your appetite.
The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you’ve had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.
I believe I’ve found my new favorite bedtime reading…

Zubbles!
Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite use of Flash technology in a website:
Move your mouse pointer toward the right side of the page. Then back to the left. Then put it in the middle of the bubbles animation circle. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Too bad I can’t buy this stuff yet. I love blowing soap bubbles.

A Call To Brains
I’d issue a call to arms, but I already have two of them. What I need is brains. Whyfor? Because I can’t figure out to what clever use I should put the concert ticket generator!
So. C’mon, you big brains out there. Show us what you’re made of.

Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his grey duck.
Happy 2007, everybody. I know, I sort of left things hanging around here for the last few days of 2006 but when you get right down to it, there wasn’t much to say. I don’t want to look back on that particular run of twelve months. Not that it was all bad. Some of it was quite good. However, long stretches of it were absolutely dreadful. So, good riddance.
And now for something completely silly. At one of my favorite website stops I found an amusing new toy. I plugged in a specific (and perhaps unsurprising) sequence of letters and what follows are many of the results. Please note that I’ve taken a bit of liberty with the formatting, using the two separate words or my Internet nickname form depending on which amuses me more. (It’s all about my amusement, dammit.) Can you name the movies?
