Internet

kunsjoi sends in a ton of links, some of which are listed in his “WTF digests,” and others are exactly what I need to see after a day of depressing news. Behold: art with fruits! Link.

Hey, if you’re gonna go faux, you might as well go all the way: arimoore sent in a link to a store that makes clothing and accessories out of “peau humaine synthétique,” which we left in french because they’re in France, and because much like the eggplant vs aubergine deal, it sounds classier than “fake human skin.” The idea sounds cool until you see the pictures with the texture, then it’s creepy. But still pretty cool. Link.

An anonymous reader sent in our favourite “separated at birth” pair ever: socks to match the carrot. Hey, did you get that “pair” joke? I’m a funny guy, eh?

I’ve got to admit, as I read about this week’s fiasco with the US Department of Justice requesting search logs from the major search engines in a misguided attempt to deal with internet porn, I’m curious as to VP’s place on the roster – in what might be my proudest achievement, more people appear to be searching for “vegan porn” than “star trek porn,” based on my logs. This may just be a signal towards an overall trend towards interest in veganism, however – as kunsjoi notes, Lycos is reporting that queries for “vegan” are up 305% this week, which is pretty darn spiffy. If January is a month for resolutions, let’s hope that people find the information they need to make the switch and stick to it – keep an eye out in your lunch rooms for soy milk and veggie burgers!

There are two types of people in the world – those who would enjoy having Google associate their name with the term “goatse” and those who would not. My source today is a member of category two, but that won’t stop you from clicking on this work safe link to a vegan goatse image, will it? Link.

Do you like the cartoons that are only vaguely connected with the VP message? If so, you’ll be clicking away at the link that Dagda Samildanc sent in: Happy Animals In Love. Warning: this entry’s post-dated, and I reckon the song will still be in my head when it goes live. Link.

As if a holiday centred on a dead turkey wasn’t bad enough, the Photoshoppers at Worth 1000 had to go and make it creepier.

If you couldn’t already guess, today is a “close my open tabs” day, wherein I try to close as many windows as I can on my desktop, by either processing, deleting, deferring, or posting the damned things, ’cause I’m all about the GTD. Here’s a prime example that was begging for a writeup that never appeared in my brain: They’re Made Out Of Meat, a short story by Terry Bisson. Enjoy.

Kevin from Brooklyn Bunny thought we might enjoy his bunny cam, and what can I say, it’s the first webcam I can ever remember visiting where something was actually happening when I went there. (With the exception of the corn cam, of course, but it’s not like the stalks are highly mobile.) Plus, bunnies!
