What a blog and a Flickr account can produce. A (somewhat) anonymous blogger has started an interesting photo project where he sets up his camera timer, then proceeds to run as far (and as fast) as he can in the opposite direction.

The rules are simple: I put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as I can.

Sunday, December 7th, 1941 will always be a day remembered in the US. On that morning at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the Japanese forces staged an extremely successful (and terribly mistaken) surprise attack on the US Navy forces which docked in the harbor. Needless to say the US never imagined such an attack coming, which attributed to the success of the Japanese mission. When all was said and done over 2,400 people were dead, several ships were total losses and over 188 aircraft were completely destroyed. These photos recently surfaced, taken shortly after the attack by someone who’s obviously kept them for all this time (or maybe someone going through a family members possessions found them), are extremely crisp and clear, giving us an incredibly clear look at the damage that resulted from the sneak attack.

So it’s Christmas and I’ve got the flu dammit. But what better way to celebrate than with Gumby’s Christmas Special, an epic SNL skit from 1982 featuring Eddie Murphy, Gary Kroeger, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Joe Piscopo.

I don’t know if this is about to be the best movie ever, or the worst. Sam Jackson does a great southern gentleman impersonation, Christina Ricci looks somewhat sickly, but ‘snake’ is in the title of the movie, so the odds are 50/50. If Sam Jackson could just star in trailers he’d be the biggest star on the planet.

If you’re a rabbit owner, you’ve realized that understanding what your little four-legged friend is trying to communicate to you isn’t as easy as understanding say, a dog, or a cat. Well, look no further, lagomorph lover Eric Mercer has compiled a thoroughly exhausting collection of ways to communicate with your rabbit, from the way they wiggle their little button noses to what it means when they’re left uppy (ear) twitches, Eric is making it much easy for us to interact with our Lagomorphic overlords.

Thankfully it’s cold enough in most parts of Russia for this house to naturally exist, so it seems mr. snowman is doing alright for himself. Some Russian artists and architects recently constructed a model home completely out of ice, including everything from ice-encased appliances to the kitchen sink. I think the oven and washer/dryer carved in ice added a nice touch to the kitchen.

An abnormal, two-headed fossil, believed to have belonged to a group of aquatic reptiles, has been discovered in northeastern China, dating back to the age of the dinosaurs. The animal is known as a Choristoderan, a small (and extinct) reptile, which was characterized by it’s long neck, existing during the Cretaceious period (144 to 65 million years ago).
