Hearts and chocolates and all that. ROMANCE.

Car gets stuck at 125mph. Amazingly, this ends well.
Sample the delights of Murs’ comments on RapGenius, explaining the lyrics of hip-hop tracks. (Murs is a guy who is a rapper.)
Awesome celebratory Oscars poster. Really clever!
Drones in pakistan – no, not that sort of drone. Cool!
Can anyone remember the film (late 90s I think, maybe Italian?) that was based on this thing – a filmmaker going from small town to small town getting the locals to pay him to make a movie? (In the film I remember it was totally a scam, but the real story involved real filmmaking, and is much weirder for it.)

And finally, via Sam Walker, a nice reminder that my culture’s way of doing things is not every culture’s way of doing things:
That is the best stuff I have ever seen on Rapgenius.
I was hoping for P.G. Wodehouse-type drones in Pakistan.
I’ve never listened to much of Murs’ stuff, despite intending to for years and years. I have a Felt comic book from like eight years ago, even.
Wodehouse Drones in Pakistan? Isn’t that how the subcontinent got into such a mess in the first place? 😛
“Because I am a Hero, I must love boobs.” and “Boobie over demons, that is my decision.” crack me up every time. Its a great show so far, about 1/3 the way in.
Those abandoned suitcases make me so sad! Linky is supposed t make me happy. Linky failed.
Feel the pain of linky!

A photographer called Steve McCurry took the last roll of Kodachrome film made by the Kodak factory and turned it into a special project. Well worth a watch.
