Silliness:

Slicing things using a Samurai sword in slow motion… Who sets these things up?

I thought this was funny, if this remains true perhaps it's best not to work too hard. As hard work just makes you responsible for more mistakes.

Inspired advertising – can't get over that wonderbra effect.

Nutritional myths, dispelled.

Silliness:

I love this story of how crime is dealt with in Japan.

Via on10's video of David, I found his blog, hardware fudges, gadgets and hacks to make life easier.

Metro, metro, metro how you aspire to be the sun, but lack the credibility – anyway: Pastafarian Descriminated against.

Silliness:

Spooky, Saturn has a strange hexagonal structure at its pole.

An earth-bound replication of the said structure, they don't know how it works though.

A story of a mouse who made his home in a cash machine, notable also for the complete idiots who commented on the story.

This is a collection of the various posts I haven't put up. So this is from the last few days.

Silliness:

I like this song, thou shalt always kill.

Search the records of the houses of parliament, just for kicks.

An interesting point, if only we could get really really upset about climate change.

Ewww… Dead whale explodes as it decomposes (while being driven through a town in Taiwan.)

Some fascinating "tricks of the trade".

Happiness at work is apparently the key to productivity (obvious, no?) – of course, this is from The Chief Happiness Officer, so it's not like he's got an agenda or anything…

Geekiness:

Ok, so this is 13 years old; which should make it all completely invalid in the modern world… But you can judge for yourself while reading the Unix Hater's Handbook

Silliness:

I love this little flash app, kinda obviously written just to get high on reddit and dig, but it's still cool. It just reflects what you're drawing in a circle, to create beautiful mandala-like patterns.

Silliness:

Huge snowflakes, now that would be something to see.

The things people do, how about a mechanical hit counter. I think there's actually a business here, how many big websites would love a mechanical widget spinning away as the hits rack up.

Silliness:

These photos are a marvellous mangle of optics.

Silliness:

Slashdot summed up, by a slashdotter.

Children's beliefs; and how real life cruelly disappointed them.

Silliness:

I'm sure this violates something about access rights to your property, but it's a lesson not to mess with Chinese property developers.

Buddhist Monks are having their patience, and non-violence tried by an Ants nest.

Here's a cool idea, pay what you think the film was worth after you've watched it.

Silliness:

Wireframe objects! How cool is that, real objects in wireframe.

Actually Sarah bought me a wireframe guitar already, but these are just on a more grand scale, plus they're intended to look more like wireframe as done by a computer.

Several interesting theorems on software development.

It's old news by now, but I still like it – the beer launching fridge.

Geekiness:

This could well be the best tool available for .NET developers in the world ever.

Some of these stories would be better submitted to Worse Than Failure, but never mind, they're quite funny.
