harmlessincIt's that time of week again, we have a lighter fare than normal today. There is lots of news bits around - but we need a bit more time to compile and format today. Should be out in the second round of fun this afternoon.

Snow Glode

This is just a flash page showing a snow globe. But what a presentation it is, shake, turn, zoom. Great amount of work went into this.
I just don't have the patience to do something like this:
Robert J. Lang: Origami

This stuff is just amazing...
Church key anyone?

So how do you open a bottle of beer when you don't have your trusty bottle opener? The site is in german, but the pictures say it all. The link on the bottom "ältere Beiträge" is roughly "older contributions" - click for more photos.
... and old lace.

"The favored poisons of the late 19th century were also an appealing instrument of murder, at least for the villain, because their effects on the body were gruesome."
"Looks like it hit a tree Jim."
http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0407/p12s01-alsp.html
I always wondered about this...
"Just before heading out to the course to shoot two hours of PGA Tour action at the BellSouth Classic last week, NBC cameraman Mike Wemberley offered up a confession. Musing on whether TV golf crews ever lose sight of a golfer's shot, Mr. Wemberley came clean with a sly grin."
Bonus points for who ever remembers what the tree quote is from.
And today's game will drive some of you nuts:
Drifts

"... move the red bubble with your mouse cursor. do not touch the purple bubbles! collect the green bubbles! touch the blue bubbles to turn green bubbles into points. you need at least three green bubbles to earn a point. collect more than 3 bubbles for bonus points!"
And yes, it's flash.
