Fink's Links #27

...and back to Friday again (the weeks are going so quickly at the moment!) so it's time to share with you all the things that amused me from the "tubes" recently -

Better start with the very important list of internet safety guidelines we all forgot to read before we started...

Check out the "Time Fountain" (especially freaky when it's running backwards!)...

Recycling gone mad - Boeing 727 put to new purpose...

A novel distributed earthquake detector from an unlikely source...

Some genuinely hilarious examples of Military Humour (use the arrow icons to scroll through them)...caveat - some towards the end are obviously photoshop jobs...

Read how the LHC might shut itself down from the future (Wow!)

Read about (and watch footage from) some shocking "Concerts from Hell"...

Spy on some rich people's NY rooftops (someone has got rather a good zoom)!

The whole of Mario level 1, as a knitted scarf?

Chomp into the "Hillbilly Homewrecker" - Free, to you, as long as it only takes you four minutes to eat it... ;)

Watch "Lightning in slow motion"...

The Dream Customer...

Now, the heartbreaking story of "The Girl in the Window"...

Listen to one mans quest to digitize as much 78rpm vinyl as possible...

Don't normally link to APOD, but this one is a beauty...

"Since 2006 Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom (whose family also runs a bakery) has used dough as his medium to sculpt gruesome renditions of hand, feet, heads, torsos and other body parts"

Photosynth - Using the worlds geotagged photographs to make something wonderful...

More next week, previous weeks links can be found here...
