In England, in the 1880's, "Pants" was considered a dirty word.
Via Roy this morning, an optical illusion involving a paper dragon. You have to see the WMV video to really appreciate it says Roy.
There's a template if you want to print and make one yourself.

Apparently fermented apples in Sweden convert moose into frat boys:
"Moose are not normally aggressive. They're usually very shy of people, but once they're intoxicated they lose their inhibitions. And if they feel threatened, they can become very aggressive... drunken moose jumping through living room windows, belly flopping into empty swimming pools or violently attacking people."

In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees.
Another swipe from BoingBoing, this time its a photo gallery of sleeping Japanese businessmen in public places, like trains and sidewalks- apparently from overworking (or overdrinking).
Either way, its very disturbing stuff... enjoy!

If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
TCS-CAM II is GSM and GPRS. Using GPRS it can send images in UDP packets to any server in the internet. These images can be retrieved from any computer or hand-held device or telephone.
Although its sweet, at that resolution and around EUR490.00, why not wire up a cheapo cameraphone to automatically take a snapshot every few seconds and duct tape that to the side of a building?
Nice idea though. Gotta work on that pricing...

Nice comparative list of ten things the Chinese do better.
Its shocking how far along everyone other than the USA is in personal electronics- quite depressing really. I lost track of how many "only in Japan" gadgets I've drooled over- I guess there's always Lik-Sang assuming the device isn't dependant on a network or somesuch only available overseas.
At least we're making progress on #8- Parking Data. According to LawGeek, BART will seed 50 parking spots that are currently allocated for late mid-day parkers with sensors to inform rush-hour commuters of the real-time parking situation at the BART lot. Portable electronic signs will be placed on the local highway to indicate the number of available spots remaining.
Kendall Anderson's photos of urban decay. If you liked the modern ruins stuff, this is in the same vein.
Anyone know of locations anything like this in the Calfornia bay area? The closest I've seen are abandoned mine shafts from the Gold Rush and such.

KevinRose.com links to an addictive flash puzzle game called Road Blocks.
Good thing it provides passwords to continue from each level- this is one time suck.

Via Roy today, the best collection of Stick Figure Warning Signs.
Between the jellyfish warning in Hawaii, and the Death Screw (TM), I couldn't stop laughing. Its a good thing there aren't live little stick men here on Earth- I'm sure it would become a popular pastime tormenting them with electricity, bulldozers, and limb-crunching gearage.
One convert: Baptist church secretary and crocheting devotee Janette G. Sullivan of East Hartford. Her new love for automatic weapons blossomed as she hunched over a Browning M-2 .50-caliber heavy machine gun and fired off 40 deafening rounds.
