The Bagel Has Landed!
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap... to infinity and beyond!"
In a survey of 1000 primary and secondary school pupils by Dr Pam Waddell of Birmingham in England, Buzz was the top incorrect answer given to the question of who was the first man on the moon, though other incorrect responses included Richard Branson, Lance Armstrong and Luke Skywalker. Another question, who invented the telephone, drew answers of Charles Darwin, Noel Edmunds and the Queen, while Isaac Newton was variously credited with discovering fire, DNA and America. The results, released just ahead of a British "National Science and Engineering Week" to promote science to schoolchildren, shows that educators there still have a long way to go (Telegraph).

Last Minute Shopping?
I was originally going to display three or four of the most unique items from Archie McPhee's web store to give you an example of the true weirdness you can find there (vengeful unicorns, remote controlled hopping yodelling lederhosen, bacon bath soap, inflatable toast). But once I started digging deeper to find just the right ones, I realized there was no way I could stick to just a few. My fellow WUvians needed to see all of the zany craziness that McPhee's has to offer. And how can you resist any company whose motto is "Slightly Less Disappointing Than Other Companies". So if you're in need of a last minute gift idea for the weirdo on your list, this is the place for you.

The Musical Doctor
This is one demented video. Please note how Mae Questal, the voice of Betty Boop, is like a living incarnation of that cartoon icon.

Homeless signs
At least some of the people asking for money have a sense of humor:
Here's a link for the source and two dozen more homeless signs (maybe Not Safe For Work):

I know it is cruel, but when someone on the street says "Spare change?" to me, I always reply "No thanks, I already have some."
Seen better signs or have better comebacks?
Early Slapstick and Boxing Cats
The more of these early Edison clips I see, the more convinced I become that the great inventor was a prankster nerd.
