Witness the intriguing interactive art of Project Euh. In particular, the collaborative "scribble board" and the strangely symmetric graphical poll.

Now that the Guinness Book of Records officially discourages gluttony and foolhardiness we will never know how many cigarettes Transylvanian Stefan Sigmond can smoke in four minutes while running a mile.

The world of paper airplane design can be complex, rather competitive, and often utterly pedantic. Still, there are plenty of less rigid blueprints for artsy folks as well as accurate replicas for aviation fanboys. Other designs are educational or are at least supposed to be. When all is said and done, sometimes the simple approach is still the best.

"Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." "From the point of view of a tapeworm, man was created by God to serve the appetite of the tapeworm." "The idea of wilderness needs no defense. It only needs more defenders." Edward Abbey had some great one liners (and books). These and many more are randomly available at the Edward Abbey Quote Index.

Scientists are pretty sure men cannot actually lactate, but that doesn't stop some from trying.

Login Lore answers the age-old question, "What the heck does that mean?" It covers logins belonging to members of the Santa Cruz / Bay Area geek social scene, ranging from mundane to disturbing to oddly moving.

Someone put a lot of effort into their haunted dollhouse. Especially impressive is the miniature jack-o-lantern complete with pumpkin snot and the tiny party snacks.

Teaching our children the value of being players. Oh how cute! He's slapping his little sister around because she won't come across with the candy!

Roadkill is nature's bounty; you can eat it (either out or in) make art with it, make a festive calendar about it, or even use it to teach kids about nature.

Underwriter's Laboratories appear to be a pretty boring place, filled with rules and safety guidelines. That is, until they start setting turkey fryers on fire or you pay a visit to the kids page.

The "Uncanny Valley" is why zombies don't seem normal, robots aren't going to pass as humans very soon, and prosthetic limbs call special attention.

For back-to-basics hobbies, it's hard to get more basic than flintknapping. All you really need are tools, stones, and patience. But, of course, no prehistoric hobby is really complete without instructional videos, online auctions, and an article in Wired.

Welcome to Salem, home of witchcraft and the grisly results of witchcraft hysteria. The Witch Museum's gift shop is a little dull, but the local police department makes up for it with a great logo design on several pieces of merchandise.

October 31st is celebrated by some as Reformation Day. On that day in 1517 Martin Luther posted 95 Theses on the door of the church of Wittenberg, intending to reform the hopelessly corrupt Catholic Church. His intention was never to create a new religion, but his actions sparked the Protestant Reformation that shattered Christianity into fragments. Even the church that bears his name still can't keep it together.

Voraphiles, or "vores" for short, are a subculture of people that get turned on by one creature consuming another. Often, the vore fetish is intertwined with furry fetishism. Other times, vore erotica is intimately tied with cannibalism and necrophilia. Other voraphiliacs combine vore fetish with religious fetishism, leading to images of angels eating or being eaten by a variety of other creatures. Yet others combine the Freudian sexual fetishism of violence with the Jungian ouroboros symbolism of serpentine consumption and build giant anamatronic snakes.

Recapture that oppressive bureaucracy chic with the ElectriClerk, a nightmarish combination of a classic Macintosh, an Underwood Typewriter, and a fresnel lens.

Scripophily is the idea behind One Share and Frame-a-Stock taken to the next level. Why buy the stock certificate of a company that no longer exists? There's always the kitsch factor, but some certificates are eyecatching works of art. You can even buy some posters.

As someone who has switched from Wintel hell back to the Mac (how can one resist BSD with a sexy new-ish GUI?), I've become increasingly fascinated with the Apple switch ads. Though Ellen Feiss's 15 minutes of fame are over, you can still inspect the public lives of the other "switchers": Janie Porche has lots of interesting tidbits, including wanting to marry an electron; Aaron Adams wants us to know lots of things, including that we've all been too tough on the Dell guy; and if you like driving, Jentry Poss's trucking company seems to be hiring.

The gay male community is having a somewhat understated schism at the moment. Currently, there are aficionados of standard gay fare, oral and anal sex, but there is a growing (and vocal!) contingent which are into consensual frotteurism, specifically rubbing penises together. This is sometimes known as "swordfighting." The devotees of this brand of lovemaking refer to themselves, politico-partisan-style, as cock rub warriors.
