Links for 22/04/07


This is the best Rube Goldberg machine ever. I am suspicious that is was filmed in separate segments, but it's still ingenious in wonderful ways.

  • Lucafilm approved this 86 foot high, 640lb Darth Vader shaped helium balloon.

  • A polite letter from the Smithsonian.
    "We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie"."
    There's a comedy genius lurking in the antiquities department. It reads like a letter to McSweeney's or a feature at the Onion.

  • Speaking of which the new Onion Infographic on Chinese Piracy deliciously blurs the distinction between parody and truth.

  • Suicide Food, a niche blog about pictures of animals inviting you to eat them. They should check out both the Au Pied de Cochon and Pork & Sons cookbooks which are liberally illustrated with cartoons of happy doomed pigs demonstrating their tender cuts. Is it just me or did the vegetarians lose?

  • Lego Star Wars models employing the least pieces possible.

  • Oh, and I'm on Facebook now. You'll find me on the first page of Rufuses, so go ahead and add me.
