FindSounds allows you to search for audio files based on keywords. It seems to work well, though I am basing that entirely on my one search for ‘fart’. The results definitely left me satisfied!

Can you tell the hard-core programmers from the hard-core murderers? I sure can’t, and will probably wind up dead by morning.

Do you know an introvert? Perhaps you are curious as to how you should be caring for him/her beyond making sure their litterbox is clean, their water is fresh and that they have plenty of kibble.
Now I’m off to sleep with models since I am most certainly not an introvert… *soft crying*

A family in Argentina have been taking pictures of themselves on June 17th every year since 1976, creating a fascinating look at the aging process. They were lucky, because unlike my family they completely missed out on the giant-clown-glasses phase of the 80s.

What do you get when you combine French people, bicycle messengers and an ice race track? Good times, that’s what!
(If you’re curious about just what the hell is going on in those pictures, check out the site.)

NASA scientists, no doubt in a down period between shuttle explosions, give spiders various drugs and take photographs of the resulting webs. There’s a prize for guessing which drug results in the most dysfunctional web! (The prize is love.)

Now hold up a minute here… Am I the only person who watches Battlestar Galactica? Does anyone remember a little movie called ‘The Terminator’? Human robots = bad idea. Honestly I don’t know why we’re so worried about the terrorists. We need to invade Japan.

I mean, who wouldn’t think of building an intelligent MIDI sequencer with hamster control for a school project?

These are fake cat paws with claws that can be controlled by a small switch hidden in the “handle”. Probably best to purchase two. And while you’re visiting the site, why not pick up some USB dog flash memory?

the technique seems complex; magical even, but once mastered, imagine how useful the knowledge could be.

Not only are physically unattractive teenagers likely to be stay-at-homes on prom night, they’re also more likely to grow up to be criminals, say two economists who tracked the life course of young people from high school through early adulthood

Draw a sketch, submit it, and have some random person’s sketch sent back to you. It’s pretty fun! And because the submitted sketches are moderated you don’t get sketches of penises, boobs, or ‘FaCKs YOUz LoOS3R’s like you would expect from your fellow ‘humans’ on the internet.

120 years of electronic music machines.

Derek Glover, a 72 year old man who lost his hearing 15 years ago, was 7,000 feet up on a ski lift in the Italian Dolomites when he heard a loud pop and his hearing returned.

In an attempt to make amends with all the arachnophobes who freaked out over last weeks World’s Largest Spider post, I’m giving you a link to the invaluable Spider Catcher. Although being an arachnophobe myself, I would prefer it if the handle was about 10 feet longer, and instead of ’soft bristles’ at the end there was a shotgun that fired medical textbooks soaked in Raid�.

A pretty image collection featuring things being smashed, taken using high-speed photography. Me like to smash things good. Me like pretty pictures.

Gotta love open standards. Here’s a clock where the numbers you see for the clock are randomly pulled from images on Flickr, using Flash no less. Seriously, I’m old enough to remember when Flash was sorta stupid, now its all growed up!

The Prejudice Map was created by doing Google searches on what citizens of various countries are known for. For example, searching for “germans are known for *”, and compiling the most common results.
