Fink's Links #33

Damn, where did that week go? It's Friday again! So time for just a couple of goodies I've saved up from the tubes...

Firstly, how about the ultimate Christmas gift for the geek "Sam Fisher" wannabe in your life - affordable (like £50 afforable), high quality night vision goggles...and they really do work rather well by all accounts...those midnight trips to the portaloo when camping would never be the same again... ;)

An excellent selection of art inspired by "Star Wars Culture"...

A nice bit of grafitti entitled "In case of civil unrest"...

In need of some full-size Roman era siege weaponry? Look no further...!

Watch a crab riding his dinner around the ocean...cheeky sod!

"Doh!"

Google release a complete archive of their index of the internet dated January 2001, and working with the internet archive from that time (kudos to them), you can surf (pretty much) as if you had travelled back in time...no rick roll, no 4Chan, no Youtube, no iPod, no 9/11, no war on terror...what a different world it was... ;)

A really great way to end up being strip-searched at the airport...

Discover the truth of the matter in the case of the Wendys (awesome sounding, and looking) "Baconator" marketing photograph...lower lip starts to slightly tremble upon opening wrapper... :(

An extremely innapropriate Police union T-Shirt from Denver...

Enjoy an extremely addictive free online physics-based game called "Fantastic Contraption"...(write off a couple of hours before you click that link btw)...

A nice "Oh that's how big they are!" moment when man meets whale...

Read the facinating tale of how scientists Janzen and Hebert are working to solve the taxonomic impediment with a "genetic barcode"...next step - biological tricorder... ;)

...and finally a rather amusing "Seed fail"...

More links next week and previous weeks links can be found here... ;)
