Awesome update
Did you know the Soviets actually had a doomsday device, but never told anybody about it? The first part of this podcast detail why. The answer... may surprise you.
Also:
"'Many, including my mother, thought I was going crazy - people thought I was smoking marijuana .'"
"When not helping his family farm maize, he plugged away at his prototype, working by the light of a paraffin lamp in the evenings."

Sand animation
Just found this link on Reddit: the winner of Ukraine's Got Talent in 2009, this 'sand animation' depicting the invasion of Ukraine doing World War II. It's very touching, even for somebody unfamiliar with the cultural symbols depicted. A lot of folks in the crowd are moved to tears. I've never heard of this medium before, but it's a lot of fun to watch.

Annoy me: The Eben Thread
If you remember from the ill fated PbP boards, Nick and I had dueling threads. I would like to revive some of that via the post labels. I suggest labeling entertaining posts as "entertainme" or "nickthread" and annoying posts as "annoyme" or "ebenthread."
You know, for kids!
Anyhow, the reason for the season is this here link.
Yes, I do have a fever right now, why do you ask?
