Fink's Links #44

Friday again! And just because you were ever-so good last time and finished up your greens, it's link time -

This week we kick things off with "One Whale Extracts his revenge" (the true story behind the classic tale Moby Dick)...

A nice collection of Shoe-tossing GIFs...hehe...

Watch the happiest dog on the planet...

This link is with my Dad in mind an archive of every Radioshack catalogue (pretty much) since 1939...

...and then (quite literally) the saddest dog on the planet (for it's lack of ability)...no need for a garden fence with this puppy!

Read about Jill Price, a woman with perfect "episodic memory" (and no, it isn't nice)...

Learn about the vast secret tunnel network under London up for sale (hmm, that would speed up the commute, might be a bit costly to heat and light it though)...!

World War II as an online multiplayer game chat interface (rather amusing)...

A rather interesting book-case...

Watch a guy who I confidently predict is going to be *very* dead *very* soon mucking around with a very patient Great White shark...

Check out El-E the robot assistant for the disabled...(closes eyes - (Homer voice) - mmmm...point laser...machine brings beer)... ;)

Following the theme - America announces free prescription guns for the elderly and disabled...

Discover that helicopters can just spontaneously fall to bits thanks to an effect called "ground resonance"...that's the last time I think about getting in one with more than two blades then!

...and finally an excellent menu fail and a funny breakfast option fail...

More links next week and you can find previous round-ups over here...! Make the most of Saturday and Sunday! ;)
