Chicken Poop Trebuchet

Every night Joe Weston-Webb loads chicken droppings into a 30ft catapult and primes a cannon that used to fire his wife with a railway sleeper, all in the name of security... Mr Weston-Webb, 70, has rigged up Britain's biggest anti-burglar device after being targeted by vandalism, break-ins and even an arson attack... The businessman has even put up a sign outside his property reading: "WARNING. These premises are protected by Smart Poo and railway sleeper projectiles."

A Hope In Hell

This really tickled me. Taken from Morpheus' duel with Choronzon in Sandman #4. Ah, the crossroads of politics and comic books... Feels like home.

Dance of the Bullfrogs

An excellent high-speed video of bullfrogs feeding, created by the Vancouver Aquarium. Really cool stuff.

Eddie Izzard at Union Square Theatre

Celebrated Shay's birthday by catching Eddie Izzard in concert last night. Hysterical show, funny as hell. Got a bunch of good pics up on Picasa.
