- Marving Gaye sings the national anthem, ’83. I’ve been watching it over and over for months, and I just can’t get over i t.
- Stupid e-mail disclaimers. Please let’s don’t have these, and if you see them keep in mind that they have no leagal force. You can in fact copy, forward, read, quote, and use whatever you like. They’re just, like, asking.
- Cute or not cute!!: Puppy vs kitten.
- Har har funny photoshopped children’s book covers.
- Construction photos of the Eiffel Tower.
- Richard Feynman: I don’t like honors.
- Lol rok sux. And you may also find this to be of interest.
- Huge spooky holes have been turning up in Russia. They’re in the woods where no digging machines could really have gotten, and there’s no sign of where the dirt went, or what the heck they’re even for.
- Slow-mo video of a popping balloon.
- 14-year old proves evolution is wrong, wins Christian science fair.
- Penn & Teller burn a flag in the White House. OK, it’s on West Wing, but the last 30 seconds of this is great.
- Very soon I’m going to read this article about parkour. You can of course search for “parkour” on YouTube yourself and get tons of results.
- Sorry but no, I do not believe this photo of a huge hog.
- And here’s your flash sort-of game for the week: game, game, game and again game.

In regards to the hog, BoingBoing briefly touched on it and one of their readers provided a link to some other (less astonishing) photos of the beast. He argues that the car-like size in the AP photo is a trick of perspective rather than direct manipulation. Hey, that’s how full grown actors could play hobbits in LOTR, right?
I see now — it looks like the kid is leaning against the hog when he’s really kneeling a couple of feet behind it. Still absurdly huge. Damn.
The flag burning was disgusting.
God Bless America!
Flag burning is legal. God bless America.
