Fink's Links #39

Another week passes us by (with a cheeky gesture from the rear window), and as Galileo Galilei once said "I have never met anyone so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from them" and so in that general spirit lets peek out from behind our fingers and see what all the "anyone"s of the internets had to say (or show us) just recently -

Shall we start with "and then Toby heard the 'snap' of the rubber glove"...

Look at what happens when a balloon is dropped in liquid nitrogen for a second or two...

Sad shark is sad... :(

...but it's okay because happy planes are happy... ;)

A self balancing unicycle (about half as difficult to ride as a normal one, apparently)...

A nice "Wake me up at xxxxxx" sticker set for sleepy commuters...

The anatomy of a lego man...

Learn about NASA's floating Sky Crane...

Sticking with NASA, an incredible shot of a solar eclipse (from orbit)!

An amusing (and practical) way to settle parking disputes...

Witness the strange phenomenon "Dead Water" caught for the first time on film

A walking house (of sorts, perhaps "hut" would be more accurate)? Actually looks like something "the Empire" would have built...

A cheap way to become an astronaut...doesn't look terribly comfortable though (spaceship one this certainly isn't)! Scroll down for the pics...

Woken by a bump in the night? How about a bedside table that breaks down into a shield and club?

And on your table, how about a noose table lamp? Remember to put it carefully on the floor before you go charging downstairs though... ;)

Read about the "Last Voyage of the Cúlin"...a tale of modern day piracy...

...and just to finish off, how about a nice "headline fail"... ;)

That's all for this week...! More next Friday, until then you can find previous collections over here...!
