My eyes! My eyes!
Jamiroquai’s new career. (via b3ta)
Dolphin game. Loud and fast.
Typical left-right argument.
Mideast war simulation. This will make you think.
Dubya makes an admission, and an apology. Sort of.
At Miss Cellania, enjoy jokes and links about Coffee, Cats, and the Retail Business.

Vagina Links 3/8
The explanation for the title of today’s post can be found at Abandoned Stuff.
Bloggasm published an interview with Saskboy, who said some nice things about Yours Truly.
How to make healthy, air-popped pocorn into something worth eating. (via Cynical-C)
Art or lunch? Mental Floss has a look at folks who are really really good at playing with their food.
Time Lapse Videos. Watch things rot in a hurry!
Make’s Mark Frauenfelder on Stephen Colbert. Don’t you wish you had a life like either of these guys?
I enjoy dj lobsterdust’s mashups, but most include artists I am unfamiliar with. Not so this one! Its a mashup for us Baby Boomers, mixing the 60s with the 80s. Glass Octopus.
Daylight Savings Time explained.
Chinese adoptee’s bat mitzvah. “Most of my Chinese friends are Jewish.”
Mental Floss takes a look at Anne Coulter.
What is Billy Cottrell? A genius, a disabled person, or a criminal -or all three? He may be on his way to becoming a martyr.
Well, here’s a mess. Immigration authorites raided a factory and detained 327 illegal immigrants. 100 of their children were standed at daycares and such. The factory was making backpacks for the US Military. Autorities allege they hired illegals to keep up their low-bid defense contracts.

Best reason to start pirating videos? This may be another.
Mental Floss has a quiz where you match the scene with the movie... about Tom Hanks taking a leak. Really. I got 8 out of 10, because I’ve seen 8 out of the 10 movies.
This is a cute animation: Verdi’s la Traviata performed by little blobs of color.
I posted what I labeled “the best doormat ever” a few days ago. Here’s a better one!
What do you think of the new Dove ads featuring nude older women?
How the news media is covering the Walter Reed scandal. With video.
The United Nations Comission on the Status of Women (CSW) is going on now, but you’re probably reading about it for the first time. With over 4,000 women at the conference, only ten journalists asked for credentials. And only one is a man. You can follow a report of the comission meeting, which will run through Friday, at Women UNlimited.
Scooter Libby was found guilty yesterday. Or was he?
How effective are all those Homeland Security dollars, anyway? Will we ever know for sure?
Knights, dragons, and princesses! Gettin’ all medieval today, at Miss Cellania.

Hot Links 3/6
One of the earliest links ever on my blog was Zoomquilt. Now Zoomquilt II is online!
The Where Are They Now? series at YesButNoButYes continues today with Porn Stars of the 70s and 80s.
Good: You play the drums pretty well and you’ve put a band together. Better: You recorded a song that became a hit on the club circuit in Germany. Bad: You are a girl in Afghanistan, where you could be killed for such activities. See the video Burka Blue.
How many sleds can you stack up and ride, and still make it across the finish line? This Japanese TV show will find out. No explanation for the bug costumes, though.
The AV Club has a new video series called Drunk America. The first episode deals with how people tell the truth when they drink.
There are presidential campaign websites all over the net, but you might be surprised by these.
Illegal aliens on the roof. (via Everlasting Blort)
Ten Laws of Physics that Don’t Apply in Hollywood.
Can anyone explain this disturbing video?
Why the media passes off bunk as news.
Elizabeth Edwards’ response to Ann Coulter.
America’s Imperial Presidency.
More of the cost of war in Iraq: A quarter-million military cases of PTSD, and 60,000 US military marriages.
At Miss Cellania, you might enjoy posts on Old Folks, Housework, or Male Anatomy.

Good Links March 3
Shanghai slideshow. Pictures of the largest city in the world.
More stop-motion human video game goodness from Not So Noisy in Human Pole Position.
Is trying to clean up an NWA song worth the effort? Only if it makes you laugh.
500 classic movies in seven minutes: Precious Images. This is SO worth the time.
Your chance to buy some love. On eBay.
The story of 42 Below Vodka. (Thanks, Whitesnake!)
TIME Magazine’s Top 25 Crimes of the Century. Links are in the sidebar, in case there’s one you’re particularly interested in.
To continue the public discussion on war veterans and the treatment they receive, Monica has some first-hand knowledge of the runaround.
Anne Coulter referred to John Edwards as a “faggot” at the Conservative Political Action Conference and got a cheer from the audience. These are the same people who were shocked and offended by Amanda Cogdin and Melissa McEwan using barroom language on their own blogs. I’m glad to see an exception: a conservative who thinks Coulter has gone too far. But he wasn’t at the conference, where there seemed to be consequences for those who didn’t treat Coulter as royalty.

Historical reenactment clubs are everywhere, and all over the timeline. Read about them at Mental Floss, and see a collection of battle videos at YesButNoButYes.
This big boob thing has gone too far! (via Dump Trumpet)
An all-electric car that goes from 1 to 60 in four seconds and looks like a midlife crisis car: The Tesla Roadster.
After Boston police blew up a traffic counting machine on the heels of the ATHF fiasco, Massachusetts Flickr user rodbegbie labeled some other items to help the police avoid making mistakes. (via Cynical-C)
Some serious and not-so-serious scenarios for the end of the world.
The Top Ten Monkey Videos.
Yeah, that one bombing a day can be discouraging.
Walter Reed patients are under sanctions for talking to the press. I guess its bad for wounded veterans to exercise free speech.
Watch Legos get down in this award-winning video.
This is one strange video. Those of you who have tried to raise children will understand. Audio NSFW.
At Miss Cellania, enjoy jokes and links on Astronomy and Bad Jobs.
