Oddities and Awesome abound! Just one item today, but it’s a doozy. I can’t decide where it falls on the continuum that exists with Weird on one end and Awesome on the other, but I suspect that it’s right in the middle.

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: This is probably one of those things that everybody’s seen but me already, but as it is in fact new to me, here’s the Tarantula Song. :: Buddha laughs at your paltry efforts to conquer the world through technology. (Stolen from Tumblr) :: Want to know how to make the Star Wars blaster sound effect? Sure you do! More next week! Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: It always amazes me to learn of cultural things that are apparently really big, and yet, somehow I don’t learn about them until quite a ways into their fifteen minutes of fame. Case in point: Dorito tacos. How on Earth did I not know about these? Is this what happens when you turn away, in large part, from watching teevee shows actually on teevee, during their broadcast timeslots, with commercials? :: Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell’s The Power of Myth, available for free audio download. Wow. I shall have these before the day is out,Down the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: Oh Japan, never, ever change! As LiveDoor News pointed out this week, a new trend is spreading among Japanese schoolgirls. It’s called “cream puff face” (“ganmen shuukuriimu” or 顔面シュークリーム). And, you guessed it, it involves smushing a cream puff in someone’s face. This isn’t exactly a new trend, as it’s possible to find examples of cream puff faces as early as 2007 and 2008. And, yes, this is a spin on the old fashioned pie in the face gag. But in Japan, the trend really started to take off with schoolgirls in 2011. The JapaneseDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: If you don’t like insects (or art), don’t watch this video. :: Leonard Bernstein rewrites Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. If you’ve read Bernstein’s brilliant and indispensable The Joy of Music, you’ve already read the transcript of this old teevee program, but to see it is amazing. :: Like puzzles? As in, physical, mechanical puzzles? Puzzle World is for you. (Ignore the comic sans, if you can. Lord, I detest that font!) More next week! Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: What happened when a guy forgot to send his girlfriend a Valentine’s Day gift. Oh my Goodness Gracious! :: Being in maintenance for a living, I get to hear a lot of jokes about duct tape, which has a reputation of being useful for everything. I find that amusing, because it turns out that I almost never use duct tape for anything! But anyway, here’s an artist for whom duct tape is a medium, as well as other mundane objects. Wow. :: Here’s the type of thing I wish I would think of first: TheDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: What Single Girls Do on Valentine’s Day. As you might expect, I love the ending here…. :: GAHHHHH!!! (seen on Tumblr) :: In the “Science rules!” department, the other night, a friend commented on Facebook how bright and clear the stars were that night, and I responded with my observation that I like the winter sky in the northern hemisphere a lot more than I like the summer one, because it always seems so much brighter and clearer and it has my favorite constellation in it (Orion the Hunter). He asked if this was becauseDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! :: One of the greatest interactive maps, ever: Vaguely Rude Placenames. Hover over the little flags to see the names. Great stuff! Apparently there’s a place in Iran called “Shit”. :: Back when I used to watch the Oscars semi-seriously, I would dutifully sit through the Obituary Tribute thing and say to myself, “Hey, they left out _____!” Turns out there’s cinematic politics involved in the selection of the honored dead. Wow. :: Here in Buffalo, we often deflect the derision heaped upon our winter weather by pointing out that our summers have never hit 100Down the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! They never stop. Nosiree Bob, never at all. :: John Scalzi has come up with a creative response to a bizarre nitwit who has developed an even more bizarre fixation upon him. I find the whole thing really funny (and will likely kick a few shekels in myself at some point). :: Is your cat really a dog? I can relate to a few of these! (Via Lynn, who always manages to find nifty linkage.) :: OK, a little set-up for this. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, there was a cable teevee channel inDown the rabbit hole….

Oddities and Awesome abound! ::  Jason Bennion posted this pic on Facebook. It’s the TV Guide cover from when Battlestar Galactica was set to premier, back in fall of 1978. Pretty cool stuff, although…well, I’ll give the geeks out there in the audience a chance to notice it. Yup, look at that for a little bit. A hint: one of the details is really wrong. See it yet? The ship on the cover: that’s not the Galactica. That’s the back end of Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Oops! What likely happened is that this issue had to go to press before ABCDown the rabbit hole….
