Cool Shit 11/20

Now this is a dense star cluster. Also, I want to go to an Austin, Texas Star Party before I die.

16 strangely themed restaurants. Because who among us hasn't ever thought about being served our dinner in a toilet bowl?

Shifting gears about bathrooms, ever wonder where the best public restroom was? Or that there even was a ranked list with a chosen winner?

Awesome panoramic pictures from all over the world. Taken by a bunch of Russian dudes with little photography experience.

Elliot Gould and sports...tangentially at least. I'm not sure why this article was written, but I have no complaints. I will always have a spot in my heart for Elliot Gould, as Trapper John in M*A*S*H*. And if you're only familiar with the television show, and never saw the movie, do yourself a favor and watch it immediately. The television show was great, but had too much empathy and pathos over its long run. The movie is a biting satire of war and pulls no punches. And I would put up Hawkeye and Trapper John as one of the best movie duos ever. They're the "Pros from Dover" for Christ's sake! Now I just need an article about Donald Sutherland and I'll be set.

A plant that grows both tomatoes and potatoes? Now I've seen everything!

Some interesting statistics about internet porn, with some more interesting hypotheses. As in, does internet porn ruin your sex drive?

Links of Interest 8/4

British comedies you simply must see.

Cool photo series on Route 66.

An oldie but a goodie – that Andre the Giant was a stupendous alcoholic.

Sure, they want you to believe that HAARP is innocent, but we obviously know better.

Agree with these top 100 sci-fi movies of all time?

I really wish Ebert had worked on the intro of this piece. I’m not sure if it’s his 10 best movies, or he’s just writing about the 10 people voted as the best. Regardless, it’s cool to see him writing about classics.

Want to destroy the world? Have at it.

The account of a real life Lolita.

Is your teacher more than he/she seems?

I’ve always said, women have all the power in the world, and it starts with their cleavage.
