  • I'd always believed that movies rarely directly inspire violence. But actually, The Deer Hunter popularised Russian Roulette as a appealing form of suicide.

  • Stay Free, is just a really good pop-cultural groupblog. It may be my second favourite blog based on a magazine, after Things.

  • How cochlear implants sound. I am dubious about the methodology here, but v cool nonetheless.

  • The Morning Glory Cloud, an annual Queensland cloud formation that draws gliders from around the world for "cloud-surfing".

  • NASA's satellite tracking webapps are awesome. From Feb 3rd you can use them to watch the progress of SuitSat, the satellite made from some cosmonauts cast-offs.

  • A lot of people seem to be hating on jkottke right now, but he's still full of good links; like this blog about giant burgers and the like: SuperSizedMeals.

  • Paddlefish (via RoboW) may be the new "ethical" sturgeon, but can it hang upside down like a lumpfish?
