Pug sings Batman theme. (SLYT)

Singing android! The hair, the face, the suit, the song, the set. It overwhelms.

Lawoooo and Ooooorder (found by el queso, really)

Oooooh.

Navigating the high seas of Google Earth - or ram into tall buildings and challenge traffic on local highways, your choice. more inside

Mythical end of rainbow captured by cellphone camera - commenters skewer "science writer-editor". Heh heh. I see the UK's classy Telegraph also presented this modern-day miracle.

Tone Matrix - is difficult to stop playing with.

This is what snorkelling feels like, sort of. *sigh*

DRUM SOLO - well, not really, but it might as well be. SLYT, sorry.

The Uninvited - how to seriously disconcert the new guy in the building. If you need help with your costume let me know, I have made mine by wrapping a black t-shirt around my face with a hooded jacket and cut finger holes in black socks for the gloves. I do not have any black pants so will spray paint my legs on the night.

Twenty million gallons a day. That's how much has been leaking from the Rondout-West Branch Tunnel originating in the Catskill Mountains and supplying much of New York City's water.

Shipwrecks and Sea Disasters. A ghostly host of corroding skeletons at Dark Roasted Blend.

Gazing too deeply into the abyss - caution: may induce queasiness or damage to furniture from white-knuckled gripping. Stolen from Ample Sanity.

50 Best Cult Books - as chosen by The Telegraph. How many have you started? How many have you finished?

A very compelling shower scene - yes, it's an advertisement, but such a seductively beautiful bit of video. Directed by Bruno Aveillan of Short-Films, as Anne at Ample Sanity informs us. Possibly nsfw if rippling six-packs, glistening pecs and steamy titanium offend.

The Mondo Spider - chasing little old ladies across the street was never more enjoyable. Here it is in action. more inside
