Collide
entire galaxies together with this neat little java-app. Then laugh like the vengeful deity you truly are.
That's an odd..........toy.
As I wandered the WWW I found something that I think all of us monkey should have. This is nice. And this.

Randall's very blind date.
Randall Munroe, physics nerd and creator of the webcomic xkcd (which has been a little NSFW lately), has created a system to determine the best thing ever. Not content to stop there, though, he's putting besthing.info's algorithm to the test by asking the Internet to come up with the best date ever.

Hilarious House of Frightenstein!
The best kids' show EVA is back on the air, BABY, to teach children all about hippies, vampire midgets, eastern philosophy, recreational drugs, 70s proto-trip-hop, the Grammar Slammer, a gorilla being knocked out repeatedly by baseballs, more drugs, early rave culture, lessons about animals, confused racial stereotypes, pie-in-the-face and fat-man jokes, and of course, chilling poetry as performed by the incomparable Vincent Price. They don't make 'em like this any more...

Johnston Atoll is up for sale!
Never heard of this Pacific-Island retreat? Let me tell you more. The atoll consists of four coral islands surrounded by reef. Like the beautiful island nation of Nauru, US-owned Johnston Atoll was mined of its guano deposits in the 19th century. After World War Two, it was used as a thermonuclear testing site and chemical disposal site for mustard and nerve gas until three years ago. Now this picturesque, isolated stretch of reclaimed land in the middle of the Pacific is available to you! (We recommend you bring your own water.)

Laundryroom Swapmeet
People leave things on the laundryroom table of the apartment building. Later, those things are gone. More things appear. Who takes them, and why?
The big questions, pondered small.

Curious George: Which blog?
In yesterday's thread, we found that several of us monkeys are planning to cut loose from the man for a while. So, what blog host would you use to chronicle such an adventure?

The Mighty Mac.
When it was completed, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It took 42,000 miles of cable, more than 460,000 cubic yards of concrete, and weighs in at just over one million tons. On completion, the state governor called it an engineering marvel on the scale of the great pyramids, the Suez and Panama canals. The bridge has only one flaw: It wasn't built in a huge metropolis. When people talk of great bridges, you hear about the Golden Gate or the Verrazano Narrows, but you don't often hear about the Mackinac Bridge.
