Welcome to the Wednesday Walk Around the Web, where we weave & wind through weblinks weekly. Here you may find some things that amuse, some that titillate, and the occasional link that provokes. Do you have a link you want to see featured in next week’s Wednesday Walk? Email Glenn!
- “Amazing” is exactly the word for this NYC street artist.
- Work out your troubles in embroidery.
- As a followup to the bear MRI a couple weeks back, behold an albino alligator getting a CT scan.
- This will be interesting: bodies from History Times have been dug up many times, and some of their genomes have been sequenced, but it’s new to have the opportunity to sequence the genome of someone whose identity is known, as researchers now do after having found Richard III under a parking lot.
- The Wednesday Walk is here to fill all of your printable graph paper needs!
- From Truth in Olive Oil: you too can get high-quality olive oil in your local grocery store. So when Ina Garten tells you to get ~~*GOOD*~~ olive oil, you don’t have to lose your cool.
- The sum of all positive integers is…-1/12? This all sounds like it has solid logical grounding and I’m sure these are intelligent people with advanced degrees explaining it, but this sort of math theory is just enough to make me go a little cross-eyed.
- If you’ve been following this roundup for any length of time at all, you should know by now that there may perhaps be no phrase more enticing to me than “600-year-old butt song from hell.”
- RIP John Henson.
- The best of stitching projects is The Coruscant Tapestry.
- The creator of Settlers of Catan doesn’t seem to have let success go to his head.
- People are just the dirt worst. No two ways about it.
- Forensic facial reconstruction meets crystal head vodka.
- You can make sculptures out of literally anything.
- Fraggle Rock was the best job the people working on it ever had. This seems likely–how often do you see people mention Jim Henson and interject “that asshole“?
- If you have videos you still haven’t returned, even if the store’s gone out of business, you might want to get on that.
- The Amish do adopt new things, just in their own way and at their own pace. And if you watch the Discovery Channel, you know they have mafiosos!
- This week in our PTB Nation Link of the Week, the Hard-Traveling Fanboys have a solid dose of comic-book love. MMP?
