Today: links from others, as promised! Thanks, everyone.
From Bunny: Wesley Clark Jr. takes on Democrats and Republicans in style. (It's long, but worth it.)
Also from Bunny: the Skeletor Show!
From Tracy: the Implicit Attitude Test, and some additional information about the study. Are you prejudiced without even realizing it?
Swiped from geistweg: They're looking for Jimmy Hoffa again, and it's not under a football field this time.
Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you Monday.

If it's Wednesday, it must be travel day...
If you've ever wondered which country has which domain name (.cz, .uk, .be, etc.), wonder no more - the Visibone country chart tells all!
The National Geographic is experimenting with the 21st century and has begun a weblog.
Beware of the squirrel monkeys at the London Zoo! They will steal your cellphones and rack up all sorts of charges calling home!
In other British news, a team from their army is tackling Mt. Everest at the moment, and you can keep up with them virtually. If you have Google Earth, there's a map of their progress as well.
And finally, I never knew the Muppets did a song about the subway. It's one of those tunes that sticks in your head a bit, be warned. (Seeing Bert hanging onto a subway strap made my day.)

Remember Frogger? Now you can do the same to British commuters, with entertaining commentary when you accidentally whack one of them into the side of a lorry or the Tube.
More British fun: Anything Radioactive sells you all sorts of potentially dangerous/panic-inducing items having to do with hazardous waste and the like. You never know when something like that may come in handy...
...like if you have an invisible cloaking device, for instance! Can flying cars be far behind? Come on, scientists, get to it. I want the traffic report to look like Coruscant. (Was that too geeky?)
Also, there's now a way to preserve snowflakes for years. Now we'll see if that whole "no two are alike" belief is true or not.
There's also programmable soda. Actually, the hazardous/toxic warning labels might be useful here, too.
Finally, you can create your own sign to show Barry Bonds how you really feel.

Today, we bring you a quick liberal arts recap of what's going on around the world.
Cool artist of the week: Eugenio Recuenco.
In an effort to soothe the wounded psyches of varying religious groups, Sony has begun The DaVinci Dialogue.
If you ever wanted to know what movie took place in a certain year, the Movie Timeline is a godsend. It goes way way back in history, too!
For us children of the '80s, here's another godsend: a list of music videos available on YouTube. It's not a comprehensive list, but it's a good start; I picked a Lene Lovich video, which then had links to other Lene Lovich videos, and so on.
And finally, art, history, and archaeology are all represented in this huge article about recovering sunken Alexandria.
