Very nice Corpses. You can choose to have lights installed in the eyes.
This is another one from Short Attention Span Theater, which I think of as my crasser, raunchier Metafilter.
Move over Free To Be ... You And Me, it's time for Ballads For The Age Of Science. Hymns for atheists!
This is on Jef Poskanzer's endlessly interesting web site. He's the guy who made the Heart Maker.
Frankly, your latest post on Galileo's Gravitron (or whatchamacallit) has me concerned Vigo may not be getting a proper exposure to science from his spacy mom. (Erik, where are you? Do you even read this blog? Do you know what happens here?) I'm joking, of course. Still, please download all these mp3s and have Vigo listen to them until you can't stand to hear them anymore. You might start with It's a Magnet (some skipping due to old vinyl recording), What is Gravity (sounds like he's saying gravity is a farce?), Ballad Of Sir Isaac Newton, and It's A Scientific Fact.
One more thing: the same page links to this wonderful, wonderful video of "The Elements" song (full-screen version) by Tom Lehrer. Learn it by heart and sing it with this midi accompaniment (and here for good measure is my favorite, Poisoning Pigeons In The Park). There's also a recent interview with Tom Lehrer: apparently he's very much alive and kicking, just not singing a lot.
Hmm, I wonder if Leonore would be into these? It's amazing the music parents will put up with to placate their kid. This could be a nice change.
The Galileo Gravitator. "Getting it to work will be your challenge."
This other site is pretending it's a desk lamp, and leaves out any mention of a challenge.
I normally would not promote any website using white writing on a black background (my eyes! my eyes!), but this is some story. The site has a lot of interesting (if practically illegible) stuff on it.
The story of the man eater is more easily read, and given more detail on this site. I will probably have nightmares tonight.
Was it a white shark, a bull shark, more than one shark? Frankly, I don't think it matters too much.
Archeologists study ancient roadways visible on Satellite photographs.
The Deliberately Concealed Garments Project explores the mysteriously charming practice of hiding clothing in the walls and foundations of buildings for other people to find later.
