From Holly: drunk pigeons.
From the Graveworm: Morrissey's house in LA is for sale.
From Dr. Matt: Smurfs on the big screen and ancient sex aids. Not at the same time, hopefully.
From Zazoo: CBGBs lives to see another day!
From Satori: more shenanigans by Banksy, this time in the Middle East.
Also: the Perseids are upon us again. Check out Wunderground to see what the constellations look like from your bit of land if you're going out to watch meteors.
An indescribable series of photos taken the day after the Nagasaki blast sixty years ago shows the horror.
And finally, who designed the alphabet, anyway? What's up with that lowercase r? Hee.
Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday.

For some more humour, there's a weblog titled UN Pulse; LexisNexis now features some RSS feeds (woohoo!); and a list of libraries which provide virtual reference. Shouldn't there be some Kentucky libraries listed there?
Stephen Abram of Sirsi has joined the weblog community. Good stuff.
Princeton has a spiffy exhibit on "unseen hands" - women printers, binders, and book designers throughout history.
And finally, in a link which has absolutely nothing to do with books or libraries, it's not too late to get a ticket to Zurich for the Street Parade insanity going on this weekend!
Tomorrow: links from others.

Also, closer to home, the Northside Yard Sale is happening this weekend. I will be running around with the Club Creatures and their cute little dog.
From Jack: there be dragons in Tibet. This is very cool.
Swiped from ookee.com: kill zombies in Urban Dead! Smashy smashy! Shoot shoot!
Over in England, the Hunterian Museum has a plethora of really creepy exhibits. No zombies on display, though. Yet. No remote-controlled humans, either, but just give it time...
Here's something nicer and sweeter: children mapping the world. If you're a child or know someone who is, look into entering the competition!

Fun science: the Museum of Food Anomalies!
Dumb science: what do scientists have to deal with at parties? A lot, as it turns out.
Scary science: see how close to the blast radius you are at home or at work, provided you live in a major U.S. city.
Weird science: ever had a musical hallucination?
Pop science: Not Fooling Anybody studies what happens when recognizable buildings become something else entirely.
Gallifreyan science: Hey, Sarah Jane is back on Dr. Who!
