Drawing on Feathers

The Amazing Things blog has impressive photos of drawing/painting on feathers. I've never seen this before, or even imagined one could do such fine work on something so fragile.

The Prank on Kyle Kendrick

Check out the YouTube video covering the "you've been traded to Japan" prank on Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick. Classic!

Frozen Grand Central

This video at YouTube is incredible! I've seen other such cool mob-actions before... I believe this is an instance of a Flash Mob. This would have been great to witness first hand. I especially like the guy on the phone who is complaining that he can't drive through where he needs to go, until they people start moving again and he basically says "oh, nevermind!". Pretty funny...

Blue Eyes? Then apparently we are related!

USA Today had an interesting article recently (another copy of the article ran here). Research published in the journal Human Genetics found that every person with blue eyes descends from just one "founder", an ancestor whose genes mutated 6,000 to 10,000 years ago.

I have blue eyes -- so if you do too, then we are apparently distant relatives.

Indiana Jones Trailer

The trailer for the next Indiana Jones movie was recently released. You can see it at the official site here. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this one!
