Here, in case you’re wondering, is how boar semen is collected. The procedure is as clear to me as I’d ever like it to be, but I do have one remaining question: how do you suppose the guy explains his job to the outside world? (via Boing Boing, who liked the soundtrack very much)

I don’t know what to say, other than that if I were to make a bad video to loop in front of someone with their eyes wired open, Clockwork Orange style, it’d probably look like this. I don’t know what the brainwashed person would do afterwards, exactly, but they’d be messed up pretty good. (Uh, we’re not responsible for anyone who tries the home game version of that experiment by following the link. Blame FlashedMRG.)

Steve_L sent in a Flickr photo set that kinda had to be listed here: vegan food porn. I’m going to the kitchen now. Won’t be back for a while.

It’s not an “is it vegan?” guide, but y’all might find What’s That Stuff? interesting – it’s “a look at the chemistry behind a wide variety of everyday products.” (via MAKE: Blog)

Is that a link to the World Carrot Museum website in your bookmarks, or are you just glad to see me? I was set to call the travel agent, but it looks like it’s online-only. (Thanks, Dagda Samildanc!)

Just in case anyone’s on the verge of going vegan, but they can’t source a replacement for their bear skin rug, we’ve got you covered. Honestly though, if you’re going to make a great big rug out of urethane, make something cool, like pants.

I don’t know who sent this to me, it could have been Zappos for all I know, but it’s still pretty cool: at what I’m told is the biggest online shoe store, they’ve got four categories for men’s shoes: dress, casual, athletic, and vegan. Women’s shoes are available in vegetarian casual and vegetarian dress as well. This is more of a note to myself than anything else – I have incredibly bad luck with shoes, and tend to wait until a pair is broken before I start shopping for a replacement. My Eliots are pretty snazzy, but they’re not really suited for long walks, as I discovered yesterday (thankfully, I don’t commute anymore.)

Japanese food commercials. At least, I think that’s what they are. Not vegan, but at least they know where milk comes from. (Via We Make Money Not Art)

I try to stay optimistic, I really do, but when we live in a world where you can buy a slave Leia costume for your dog, I grow fearful… (Thanks, Dave Noisy!)

Here are a few internet quickies to start y’all off today: Kirk sent in Kitten War, wherein those of you with a predilection for these kinds of things may rejoice and be glad, and the omnivore community can continue to ignore the fact that they eat cuter animals than this every day. Also, you knew this was coming, didn’t you? bracelets are the new ribbons.
