RIPs to Stan Berenstain (of Berenstain Bears fame) and Wendie Jo Sperber (of Bosom Buddies fame).
From Bunny: join God's Puppet Army! Yikes. Puppet debriefings are needed, and how.
Speaking of godly things, the New York Times discovered our local monstrosity...er, Jesus statue. I hadn't heard the "MC 62-Foot Jesus" nickname before, but I am so calling it that from now on.
One New Orleans Christmas display showed a great sense of humour. So, of course, some people got offended and they had to change it. Fortunately, there are photos to show the original design.
And lastly, for no real reason, a whole assortment of great Cthulhu links. Huzzah!
Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you Monday.

Once again, it's World AIDS Awareness Day. I hope that one day, this won't be an annual observance, because it won't be a major issue any longer. I've been hoping for this for a while now.
A few interesting links, not related to the above:
Tomorrow: links from others!

Who knew that Frankenstein and Dracula actually encountered one another in reality long ago? How cool is that?
Moving westward from Transylvania...the Rosslyn Chapel, mentioned in the DaVinci Code and in oodles of Templar lore before that, is "deciphered" and the many facets of Untold London are unveiled to online readers.
Closer to home, the Mothman legend lives on in Athens, and hey! why not check out the pig, chicken and cow population of America?
And lastly, the Magician's Hidden Library features a wealth of information for the aspiring magician.

Today's entry ended up as a hodgepodge of pop culture history. We start off in the 1960s, when Richard Scarry's books were well-read and well-loved by kids. They're still well-read and well-loved, of course, they're just a little different these days. (The comments are great, too.)
Moving on to the 1980s, nearly every game you played at the arcade seems to be online now.
In the 1990s, there was RuPaul. Who knew there were so many different RuPaul dolls?
And nowadays, we have impromptu dance parties/protests at Wal-Marts (this is brilliant, and one of the very few reasons I'd go to a Wal-Mart these days) and DVDs may be made obsolete. Soon people will be spending more time transferring their media to different storage systems than they will actually watching or listening to said media.
Knitting will always be around, apparently. Now you can use the Random Stripe Generator to create patterns!

Hi there. While I get over travel lag (which included a non-starting car - not mine, but my dad's, which meant driving him back to his place out in the middle of nowhere last night), check out the splendiferous Altered Books. Back tomorrow!
