The NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is usually great, but this one is completely amazing:

That's something you just don't see every day.

Random fun stuff for today...

Did you see the bug in Google Maps? It's over here, in Germany.  If you live near Arlesberg, RUN!

YouTube Fun #1:
Mozart Symphony Number 40 played on wine bottles while rollerblading.

YouTube Fun #3, Great Moments in High Culture:

The Smoking Gun claims that Iggy Pop has the funniest concert rider in rock history. I gotta agree.

Proposal for a Saturday Night Live style skit:

Mashup: "Lost", "Giligan's Island"

This is one of those classes of skits that really only needs a premise; the rest pretty much writes itself.
