It’s an escape-the-room Flash game, with puzzles and codes and secret panels. And a Swiss army knife.

Yes, this is not your everyday trapped-in-a-basement incident: here we’ve got tests with actual logic, clues that really lead you, and near-photorealistic graphics.  It’s hard, yes, (mayhap even tear-your-hair-out-in-clumps hard), but possible.

I have seen it done.

Probably the most creative music video I’ve seen in a long time:

. . . Out of canned goods and water bottles!

Every year a contest is held somewhere in North America.  Teams of engineers build enormous sculptures entirely out of cans of food.  They compete to build the best structure.  And then they donate it all to local food banks — ten million pounds, and counting!

And other books from the 60s.  That are still in libraries.

That’s what the Awful Library Books blog is all about.  No, they’re not all exactly awful, but most are pretty unusual—everything from books on clothing for the disabled (how to dress the wheelchair-bound like Mr. Rodgers) to upside-down exercise manuals!  With rather hilarious commentary.

There’s fear, and then there’s fear. Phobias are the italicized kind.

This site (which I guarantee no Logizomechanophobic person will ever see) lists them all.  Or more than anyone cares to know, at least!

. . . Forty years ago today.

Fun Fact: Man first stepped foot on the moon just 66 years after the first powered flight.  At that rate, we should be on Jupiter by now!

It took me a while to find out whether this was a hoax or whether there actually are people that educationally impaired.  While searching, I came across a discussion page on this image, which explains the viewpoint of every ‘ist’ in existence.  And this article, as well, containing a compendium of similar evidences of the globe’s under-allotment of brains.

And then I finally traced the quote back to its source.  It is real.  Humanity is doomed!

Imagine a cat
On a Twister mat
It seems to pout
Tries to get out
But you box it in
It’s black as sin
The cat is smart
There it’ll dart
Make it stay
Not get away
Cat: feel at home
On the honeycomb
It’s a duel between you
And the
Cat.
