Daily Lynx - Valentine's Edition

I meant to do these links LAST week, before Valentine's Day.....you know, when they were relevant, but what are you gonna do?


1. Okay, this story is very old now, but in case you missed it....a 13 year old boy just became a father.


2. This is one of my favorite stories in some time......What happens when a Thesaurus falls in love? Passsion, ardor, elan, zest, zeal, desire....you name it!



3. Here's a good one: what Science is finding out about the purposes of kissing. I have a few theories on this, if anyone would like a face-to-face chat.



4. Are you creative? Need a hundred dollars? Maybe you should consider creating a Poegle. The idea is to use the snippets that come up on the page of a Google search, and mix them together. The instructions are pretty easy, and it sounds fun. I'm going to try it.


And because you work so hard, you need a break. I have been sending this video to everyone, and it hasn't failed yet.

Relax, and let BT&H take your troubles away.

Daily Lynx - Potpourri

A few Lynx for you this morning.


1. Christianity Today has their list of the 10 Most Uplifting Films of 2008. Did FIREPROOF make the list? Yes. What else made it? I think you will be surprised, if not downright shocked. I know I was.



2. This story is for anyone who has ever lost a pet, or has a pet they care about. My favorite Sports writer, Bill Simmons, on the passing of his dog. The writing is flat-out excellent (I expect it to win something at the end of the year), and I recommend it to all, but be warned: it will get little dusty when you're reading.



3. From out "Only in Canda" file, an 11-month old boy calls the cops on his dad, who happens to be a marijuana grower. See, up in Canada, they respect the law so much they got their toddlers dropping dimes.


Those are your links for the day. Use them well!

Daily Lynx - December Edition

A couple of lynx to start the week. (I'm only doing a few because I have so many shopping deals above.)

1. Do you secretly believe in Astrology but are afraid to tell anyone? Well, here's a new Feministy way to get your fill. For you gals (and Sparky Duck), find out What Goddess are you? By the way, I am Great Mother Demeter, and I should be looking into hiking or abseiling, whatever the hell that is.


2. And if you really want to get all Mestrualed up, look at the size women that Jockey says are "Queen." We're not even talking TV big. We're talking regular sized women! What the hell is wrong with the world? If you can't trust women's underwear, is the world really worth living in?






3. On a totally different note, did the Navy not look at a blueprint before they Designed a base to look like a Swastika? Related Hyperion point: I used to live about one mile from there. I had nothing to do with the base design.


Enjoy your Lynx, my pretties!

Daily Lynx - Election Day Distractions

My Friends, do you need some totally awesome lynx to distract you from the never-ending political coverage today? Do you need the Lynx to "clean up" politics (and thus justify my racy picture above?) Do we dare?

Yes we can!

(There: that got both candidates a plug, without showing favoritism.)

These Lynx will blow you away with the awesome, so be careful.


1. From the World of Eastern Cinema, we have 50 Stunning Asian Movie Posters. Most of these far and away crush the American ones, and they convince me we need to demand more in a movie poster! I stole one, just to give you an idea:



Just judging the posters (and not the movies), my favorite one was for WHISPERING CORRIDORS 4, although you have to love the pterodactyl in LEGENDS OF DINOSAURS AND MONSTER BIRDS. What's your favorite?



2. Here is something kind of cool, or maybe completely creepy: the NOTABLE NAMES DATABASE. They are aiming to track every notable person in the world. Now, before you shout "Big Brother!" you should there: there is far less here than on a Wikipedia page. Mostly just the Who's Who outline. But here's the cool part: the site has a "Mapper" that lets you track how famous people are connected, sort of a Kevin Bacon thing. I went from Barbara Walters to Joseph McCarthy in two steps!



3. In honor of the spectacular Simpsons Halloween special Sunday (which you can watch now at imdb.com), I present What Charlie Brown characters would look like as Anime. I will snag one to give you a peek:



Good grief, huh!




4. Here is one for your wordnerds: The Un-Dictionary. You can submit words that SHOULD BE words. This is something Hyperion has been way ahead of for years. Maybe I will submit all mine. Either that or start my own Hyperictionary. (By the way: my link takes you directly to "Sapiosexuality;" definitely a passion of mine.)


5. For my Sexy Feminist Bitches, I found a slide show of How Successful Women Dressed Through the Decades. It's pretty amazing. I snagged the 1920s to get you started:



How cool was that? My favorite is the '50s, if only because the bras are so fantastic. What's yours?


[By the way: Hyperion is an ACTUAL FEMINIST, not a FRAUD FEMINIST, which means he believes most women are way tougher than they've been portrayed by the EVIL FRAUDULENT SELF-APPOINTED SELF-RIGHTEOUS leaders of the Women's Movement, which means he knows actual it's actually a sign of respect to jokingly call women bitches the same way he might call his male friends bastards, and he knows the word itself does not set back the cause of women in the slightest, but the overreaction and PC culture some would create surely does. And now I'll get off the soapbox.]



6. Just in case you need a little bit of politics, check out this great side-by-side look at the Electoral Map all the way back to George Washington. I spent an hour pouring over this thing, and I knew most of it! Great stuff.




7. I give you this link, of Hispanics Breaking for McCain, only because a friend of mine did it. He was just trying to get a rise out of people on Digg, but it serves as a great lesson to us all: what we read on the net, what we hear "reported" on the news isn't necessarily true. Beware stats my friends. Beware.



8. Finally, if you're tired of politicians who just don't deserve your trust, I urge you to fall in love with Hazel McCallion, the non-partisan mayor of Mississauga, Ontario.


Read her Wikipedia page: Hazel is an amazing woman. In 2005 Hazel came in second in the World Mayor Award to Dora Bakoyannis of Athens, Greece. I'm sure Dora is the Cat's Pajamas and all that, but I smell a French judge somewhere screwing over the Canucks again. In a time when partisanship makes everyone into enemies, Hazel has been a popular mayor for 30 years, and usually runs unopposed. She gets stuff for her city that the gigantic Toronto can only dream of, because she rocks. Nice to have someone to believe in, even if they are igloo dwellers.

Daily Lynx - Explosion

Three more cool Lynx:



1. There are a Million websites out there telling you how to get girls. But what if you have too many of them? What if they won't leave you alone. (A problem Hyperion knows all too well.) One man has the answer: How to Lose Girls.



2. Curious what the Internet looked like back in the day? For their Tenth Anniversary, Google has unveiled Google2001. It's their earliest cache of Internet sites. You can see what various sites looked like then, which is interesting. Other interesting things to look up: Sarah Palin, Britney Spears, your girlfriend. (Make sure you select the 2001 look of the site, or it may be gibberish or modern.)



3. Okay. You're home. You're bored. You have a kitchen. Clearly the next step is to see what happens when you microwave various food (and non-food) items. Admit it: you've done this. (Mine was a raisin, microwaved for seven minutes. Not much happened, but it was hard as a rock.) Then there were these guys who (and I'm quoting), decided to Microwave the Fuck out of Shit.

Some of the things are only nominally interesting, like jelly beans, pineapple, deodorant, gum, jellow (still in the packet), gummi worms and a nerf football.

Some are moderately interesting, like ketchup packets, parfait, cake, crayons, crispy dessert bar, eclairs and a bottle of glue.

And you truly do not want to miss Christmas lights, soap, foam, breath mints, tomato, marshmallows and eggs. Good times.

Daily Lynx - Rooster

Got three really cool Lynx for you today.


1. I would totally marry the woman who made me this sandwich. (Admit it: so would you.)



2. Put the Morality to the side for a moment. I'm obviously not endorsing the guy or the website or anything like that, but still....what a fascinating interview with a cocaine dealer. I don't know what I was expecting, but not that.



3. Dude. All seven Seasons of The Sopranos for 78 bucks, no shipping. Normally they'd be about $420 altogether. I can't believe this deal, and I can't believe it will last too long, so I pass along the link. If you have a husband or a good friend, get him this for Christmas. Likely he'll know what it costs and will be totally blown away. (by the way: they also have Seinfeld the Complete Series for 85 bucks, all seven seasons of Buffy for 109, the entire series of Friends for 99, the entire series of West Wing for 128, and the 132 Disney box set, everything they have ever done, for 260 (normally 1000). How the Fuck have I never heard of DVD Rooster Before?

Daily Lynx - Loenbrau!

I have divided up the Daily Lynx into High Brow, Middle Brow, and Monkey Brow. DON'T JUST SKIP TO THE LAST ONES!


High Brow

1. A couple of interesting articles on Slate.com lately. One of them details the 80 most powerful people over 80. Not surprisingly, most were white men (since power and influence is generally accrued over time, and working backwards....); in fact, some of the non traditional choices smacked of quota filling. Still, it was a fascinating list. I knew fifty-some of them by sight, and twenty more by their name, but a few were complete mysteries to me. Worth checking out.


2. Christopher Hitchens (my favorite liberal apart from the Monkey Barn Bitches), has an interesting article on Pakistan constituting the major new threat. I don't share his optimism that a politician will honor his previous words (even one who walks on water, like Obama apparently does), but Hitchens is one of the foremost experts in the world on the Middle East, and always has inciteful and unique things to say.


3. I meant to post this back when Biden and Palin were being put through the paces, but the word "vet" has an interesting etymology. I was watching Larry King when Biden was selected, and not one of Larry's panel of "experts" knew the origins. Turns out it's exactly what it sounds like, and perfect for politics.


4. Here is Jon Voigt talking about John McCain. You know, I'd have like to have been a fly on the wall in Angelina's house growing up, to see what actually happened there. Or, you know, a fly in her shower.


Middle Brow

5. Speaking of flies, from the "Why the Fuck?" category, they are making an opera of Jeff Goldblum's The Fly. Why why why, sing about the Fly?


6. Combining the high-brow of sophisticated aesthetics and the low-brow prurience of sex, Wolford has designed the world's most entime stockings. Yowza! I spent at least two hours on this site. I've always been an "all the meats of our cultural stew" kind of guy, but Wolford makes you want to be a leg-man.



Monkey-Brow


7. From a great discovery "Offbeat Earth," I found the post 10 Examples of How to Run a Picture. I stole the first but you got to see the rest to believe them.


I don't know if I like the white boy next to the pink-panther rapper best, the ruined wedding photo, or the last one, which....You know: I'm not even going to describe that one, other than to ask WHO WOULD MAKE THAT PICTURE PUBLIC?????



8. Finally, on Sea Hag's website, she compared Sarah Palin to the therapist on the Sopranos. Not bad. However, I have heard it mentioned that Palin might look more like the hot-teacher stripper (Miss Davis) in VARSITY BLUES. Her name is Tonie Perensky, and to the left is the only decent picture I could find. (It doesn't do the comparison justice.) Miss Davis comes out on the dance floor in this teacher outfit....with those glasses, and the rest is history.

Anyway, while I don't have a good comparison pic, maybe I can do one better. Incdredibly NSFW, I have still pictures of the striptease itself. (Or, if you want to join the club, you can see the movie clip, or hundreds of thousands of other nudity movie clips. Or you can buy me a subscription, and earn eternal cunilingus!)

Those are your Daily Lynx. Enjoy and use them well.

Daily Lynx - BK style

I'm sitting outside a closed Burger King, with even money on whether they turn off their Wi-Fi or I run out of power first. So, I won't have the usual witty banter, but I do have some links.

1. Telescopic Text. Very cool. I'm curious what order you read it in, and we could pull something like that off.


2. Picture within a Picture. I never get tired of these.


3. Unique Gravestone. One of the most beautiful pictures I've seen in some time.


4. Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre. I can already hear Lady Jane giggling.

Labor Lynx

Just because I love you, a super-duper extra special edition of the Lynx to get you through the Labor Day Weekend:


1. From our "Wish in one hand...." The U.S. is planning building a 5 Billion dollar shopping mall in Baghdad. I wonder if they're going to call it "Amal of America"?


2. Fresh off the Democrat National Convention, here is a link I've been saving for a year. LittleDemocrats.net are featuring the heart-warming children' story Why Mommy is a Democrat. Yes, friends, explain the "facts" of life to your three-year old, before she's old enough to think for herself. (You can buy the book on Amazon too.)


3. Speaking of Democrats, I feel like you need to see the World's 25 Weirdest Animals. That friendly little fellow above is a hagfish, but you will also learn about the Pink Fairy Armadilo, the Axolotl, and the Aye-aye. Seriously: if you click on no other link today, make sure you check these bad boys out.



4. For the uptight Feminists in the audience, I found a 1943 Guide to Hiring Women. The list includes such helpful hints as

3. General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.

Yeah, unless you get in the way of their doughnuts!



5. Just to (cough cough) round things out, how about some Female Porn? Don't worry, Red-staters, there's no DP here. But you will find men vacuuming, cleaning toilets, and generally being considerate. Talk about your fantasy! (Zing!)


6. Are you a sucker for well-done card tricks? No? Well, all I can say is: You will be now!


7. Have you seen the Belgian version of McDonald's? It's called Quick, and I don't know if it's creepy, or if I'm going to Belgium very soon. All I can say is, why don't we have deep-fried cordon-bleu for fast food? I want my Cheesy SandwiQ!



8. Up until two days ago I was not aware there was such a thing as the NeoCube. And obviously, for the past two days, I've been plotting to get a NeoCube.



9. Okay. I debated fiercely whether to post this picture, since some of our more "highstrung" members tend to get a tad upset when I post scantily clad pix. But people, it's for such a great cause! Who doesn't support the ousting of the Fuhrher? Are you a Nazi? Well, then enjoy Amanda Beard (or lack of beard, as the case may be), in all her finest. And Enjoy your Labor Lynx. They were a laborlynx of love.

Daily Lynx - Hyperion Day Style

Since today is Hyperion Day, I thought I would reward you with a monster edition of the Lynx. (These have all been vetted for coolness. Not a Biden in the bunch. Ooh, that's a great motto!)


1. You need something to get pissed off about. Admit it. I'm your huckleberry. In New York, mothers are taking their 8 year old daughters for their first Brazilian wax. A rite of passage, right? When will you liberals learn shame?


2. Thinking about drinking Tequila, but not really sure it's for you? Take a look at what things look like sober vs. drunk on Tequila.


3. One more cheap shot at liberals. (Conservatives will take it up the ass from me next week.) Some older women are cougars. Then there are some who are PUMAs.



4. Switching gears, a really cool food site: the Encyclopedia of Spices. I always wondered what the hell to do with Asafoetida.



5. Just for the Awesome: The 10 most incredible feats of The Incredible Hulk.



6. How to get laid in 1977. I want you to know; I have personally seen Sparky Duck wearing three of these outfits.



7. One of the greatest short videos of all time. How many times does 5 go into 25? If you said 14, you really know your maths.


And finally, not to EVER be forgotten, the Lady Jane Scarlett decreed International Bow Down Before the Hyperion Day. She said it, not I.


Those are your Daily Lynx. Use them wisely, people.

Daily Lynx

Here are some Lynx that will teach you things, 'cuz knowledge is power!


1. You think the Economy is tight? You don't know the meaning of the word. In Zimbabwe, they just knocked 10 zeros off their currency. Ouch.


2. Undersea black smokers found off the Arctic. My question: were they smoking Newports or Kools?


3. This last one isn't so much a link as it is Nawlejj:

spoon·y also spoon·ey (spn)

adj. spoon·i·er, spoon·i·est

1. Enamored in a silly or sentimental way.

2. Feebly sentimental; gushy.


Don't you feel better knowing that?

Daily Lynx - Mammary style

Some links to amuse you:


1. You gotta love the Female Breast. It already fuels something like 2/3 of the American Economy. Now boobies are going to solve the energy crisis. Good times.


2. Candles come in all sorts of strange flavors these days. But if Hot Wicks has their way, soon you'll be smelling dryer sheet candles, beer candles, grass candles, pigskin candles, and stripper pole candles. I only wish I were kidding.

3. From the "I swear I stumbled upon it accidentally" department, have you ever seen Gay Christian Horse Porn (with cartoon illustrations)??? Me, neither. Not really unsafe for work, but do you want to be caught looking at it, even briefly? (You're curious now; admit it.)

Daily Lynx - Big Batch Day

A big batch of links to get your week started.


1. First, a SHAMELESS PLUG. There are seven international holidays this week, brought to you by your good friends at International Day. They are:

Monday - International Be Nice to French People Day

Tuesday - International String Theory Day

Wednesday - International This Day in History Day

Thursday - International Call in Sick Day (may be celebrated all week)

Friday - International Jealously is Cool Day (I just celebrated this five minutes ago, getting a jump start)

Saturday - International I Don't Care Day

Sunday - International Food Court Day

Drop by and check them out.



2. Forbes Magazine's annual Celebrity 100 List is out. Not quite sure how they did their amalgamation, but you can isolate by Overall, Money, TV, Web and press. The top two are gimmies; after that it's a bit odd.



3. MuchBetterThanThis.com. There is simply no way to describe it.



4. For you nut jobs (walnut paneled nut jobs) who treat HGTV as a religion, How to Install Invisible Shelves. Seems like more trouble than it's worth, but I'm guessing several panties just moisturized. (I say panties because any guy who is into HGTV is basically a girl, so the metaphor fits.)



5. Not remotely dirty, just totally fucking mango: What every man wants in bed. Some day, friends, this will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.





6. I love watches like I love to smack a sweet ass, but I cannot imagine ever wearing one of these Cool Watches that take a P.h.d. to read. They are cool, though.



7. I'm sure you have been following the R. Kelly Trial, and know by now that he was found not guilty of Child Pornography. Slate.com writer Josh Levin has a wrap up column after watching the the entire trial, including links to previous dispatches. Some of the Defences R. Kelly's legal team will have you in hysterics. (Well, it would if it wasn't so serious.) Then again, maybe they have a point. Just because the video looked like R. Kelly doesn't mean it was him. That shit is easy to fake. Scroll back up and look at the picture at the top. I don't mean to scare you but, THAT'S NOT ACTUALLY R. KELLY!

Daily Lynx - Monday style

the following are links you need to click to make it through your Monday. Don't fight it; I'm an expert.


1. From the Crime Lab, we have the Hired Assassin Agency. For when you're just too busy to kill 'em yourself.


2. From the Equal Opportunity Department, we have, uh.....ahem, underwear for men. There is no nudity, ladies, but not a lot left to the imagination, either. One hesitates to ask, but, do you think there could be some, er, enhancement going on?


3. From our Cross-Promotional Department, it is International Kiss the Cook Day. Please lay one on your favorite gourmet in my honor, eh?


4. From our Garden of Eden Department (Tree of Forbidden Knowledge Division), we have a link that I really really really really really recommend you avoid. And for Light's sake, if you do go see the curious but innocent picture, DO NOT take the man's advice. You're just going to have to trust me.


5. And Last (but not fist), from our Elitist-Liberalism Department, impress everyone with your take on the Reverend Wright controversy by reading Michelle Obama's Senior Thesis written while she was at Princeton University, in 1985. Since the thesis alone won't help you much (and is virtually unreadable), skim the work for people Miss Michelle LaVaughn Robinson praises, and then look up "Black Separatism" on Wikipedia. I'm not the first to think of this, but perhaps it was not Barack Obama who insisted on going to Rev. Wright's church for all those years.



these are you Daily Lynx. Use them wisely.

Daily Lynx - Lohan style

1. Lindsay Lohan will apparently go full-frontal in her next movie, an "Indie," where Lohan will play a nymphomaniac waitress. An insider told the London Sun, "Lindsay doesn't care she's getting paid peanuts. She wants to remind people she can act and that she is worth hiring.” Works for me.


2. This one isn't a link, but have you heard they are making the 7th Harry Potter movie in two installments? Supposedly this is to get "all of it" into the movies, but I think we all know the real reason.

$$$$$$$


3. I found myself mesmerized by this guy, calmly discussing how religion and politics can affect people. How did they do that?


4. A photo collection of the Worlds' Biggest Holes. Shockingly, neither Courtney Love or Andy Dick made the cut. Seriously, these holes freaked me out. How 'bout you?

Daily Lynx

Haven't done the Daily Lynx in awhile. These are pretty spectacular, plus there is a secret message below written in code.


1. Take a look at America's Most Lustful Cities. I'm always suspicious of the criteria these "groups" use to determine such things, but it is at least interesting. Although, that said, how did Ohio get two cities in the top ten? And Maryland gets two too? Weird.


2. From Lady Jane Scarlett (who would have posted herself, but is on a self-imposed sabbatical while she mourns the death of Mohandas Gandhi), we have Star Wars in an Urban Setting. These are really sweet. I think my favorite are the two with the Imperial Guards. Probably because that red really pops, you know?



3. From Bear, we have Hot for Words. There's no real way to describe what's going on here. Basically Marina (seen above), is a philologist, which means she studies linguistics and etymology. She explains word origins in her little videos, all while...well, you have to see for yourself. It's totally safe for work, but you might never be the same again. Actually, I'll embed one of the videos, so you can see what I mean.





4. Finally, in a slightly different direction, you've no doubt heard about the questionable pictures of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair. The funny part is Disney getting all up in arms. Not So Fast, says Slate Magazine, who points out a Disney underwear ad in China. The picture in the article is in no way pornographic or anything like that, and one would think I would jump at the chance to show a 13 year old in her underwear, as part of a "legitimate news story." But I just feel uncomfortable with people googling "disney," "underage" and "panties" and coming here. So it's on Slate if you want to take a look. And just last night I was flipping through the channels and saw on some show called TMZ that they also send cartoon-based bras and panties overseas with underage models in them.

Look, I'm not a prude, and I don't know where the line is. I mean, tasteful underwear for a 12 year old is no different than a swimsuit, and we wouldn't have a problem with that, right? I don't know, though....something about it just doesn't sit right with me. And for damn sure Disney has a lot of nerve getting all up in arms over the Miley Cyrus shoot.

(And forget about Miley and family getting upset. Vanity Fair went to far as to release a video that shows the family there on the day of the shoot. AND, the pictures were digital, which means they saw them right then. This is a case of a story going south and people looking for cover.

Daily Lynx - April style

Haven't done a Daily Lynx in a few weeks:


1. For all of you who feel left out of the "Fantasy" scene because you're not into sports, you can now join a Fantasy Congress League. Yes, draft your favorite lawmakers and earn points for their good deeds......and bad. (If only I hadn't traded Spitzer!)


2. Ta-Nehisis Coates with an provocative an interesting column: "Much Ado about the N-Word."


3. There's a new trend in video games to be smaller and simpler. Witness Crayon Physics Deluxe. And if you're too lazy to even click on the link, here's a preview of how it works.




Couldn't you just waste an entire afternoon playing?

Daily Lynx - SVU style

Today's Lynx are stories in the news that astonish/anger me.


People, I am not making these up;


Woman Arrested for Groping Santa (Do you go with a "Ho Ho Ho" joke here or something more on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" ? Discuss amongst yourselves.)


Michigan Senior Citizen calls 911 on his wife, after she refuses to turn up thermostat (What the hell is going on in Michigan these days? They're becoming Ohio!)



People, as you may or may not know, in February of 2009 cable will all be digital. This isn't as bad as it sounds: IF YOU HAVE CABLE OR SATELLITE, you'll be fine. People who don't want that will have to buy a Digital converter to keep watching TV. So far so good: digital picture is much better. But here's the kicker: There is a government program for $80 in coupons to help you buy those converters. (You MUST take the quiz on the website. If people are that dumb, what are the odds they can turn on a computer?) Let me get this straight: we're now going to subsidize people to watch TV? Will Liberals stop at nothing?


This just pisses me off, but do you remember the old DA on Law & Order SVU, that really sexy blond with the glasses? Her character's name was Alex Cabot, easily one of the hottest women in glasses of all time. Her real name is Stephanie March, and I think she's awesome. Well, guess who Stephanie March is married to? I hate that prick, and I just want to throw up in my mouth all day.








But, I can't leave you on that horrible a note. It turns out the other extremely sexy woman on Law & Order SVU, Mariska Hargitay, has a happier family connection. Her father was a Mr. Universe and her mother was one of the sexiest women of the 20th Century. No wonder she keeps getting better and better: it's in the genes!

Yay!

Daily Lynx - Bushwick Bill Style

1. This is either the creepiest or the coolest thing ever: a man drawing a woman from the inside out. (There's nothing obscene or pornographic. He just starts with the skeleton and keeps adding layers. It's almost profound.)


2. Proof of just how eclectic Monkey Barn is, we turn to the 10 Spookiest Hip-Hop songs. I think they missed a few, but #1 is with a bullet (no pun intended).


3. Another gift to consider, and this time it's not even for me. May I present the Sexiest Teapot ever made! (Seriously, it's so damn sexy, even I wouldn't mind having it, but get it for a chick you hope to sleep with, okay?)


Those are your daily lynx. Learn them. Know them. Live them.

Daily Lynx - Spartaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

1. Things you can do with a single sheet of paper. (This is both simultaneously beautiful and creepy.)


2. Cool Gifts you can buy (and it doesn't even have to be for me): a pen made out of metal. The pen is completely metal, and actually writes metal! I guess a small piece of the pen is coming off with each thing you write, but the manufacturers guarantee the pen for 25 years. How cool is that?


3. You remember King Leonidas, everyone's favorite "This is Sparta!" guy? Well, here is a collection of Leonidas photoshops. I'm not sure if my favorite is the one with the turtle, the parka or the gay exercise video, but they are hilarious.


Those are your Daily Lynx. Use them wisely.
