Laughing origami frogs (link roundup)

Laughing origami creatures by Joseph Wu.

And a few more links:

1. Meet Teresa L. King, first woman to be the army's top drill sergeant. Via.

2. If your intro to philosophy class was sponsored, you'd get something like Ethical Dilemmas Involving Klondike Bars.

3. Zelda and the Minish Cap fan art. (I liked that game a lot more than Phantom Hourglass.)

*Previously: I regret what I did for a Klondike Bar.

*Buy Legend of Zelda toys and collectibles at eBay.

Church marquee sponsored by Microsoft Bing? (link roundup)

Church marquee says "Some questions can't be answered by Google." Via.

And a few more links:

1. Stephen King's so-bad-it-was-impossible-to-finish novel The Colorado Kid is being made into a television series.

2. Speaking of, here's a longshot. Can anyone point me to the creepy images that were used before and/or after commercial breaks on Kingdom Hospital? I'm guessing they were by Jerry Uelsmann. (They were the only thing I liked about the show.)

3. Looks like the claim that the Raiders' head coach broke another coach's jaw isn't going away.

*Previously: Church marquee says: "Jesus: Stripped and violated just for you."

Spaghetti cupcakes (link roundup)

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs cupcakes. See also: Fortune cookie cupcakes. Via.

And a few more links:

1. The Spanish ribbed newt thrusts its ribs out of its body to use as weapons. Like Wolverine, they can retract the claws and heal the injuries. Via.

2. And here's another weird one: six-foot long jellynose fish. Via.

3. Dan Lyons makes an excellent point about newspapers:

Ask anyone who's an expert in anything—whether it's bicycle racing or brain surgery—what they think when they read a newspaper article about their field. Chances are they cringe, because the material is so dumbed-down, and because it's so clear that whoever wrote the article has no real expertise on this topic.

Vikings never wore helmets with horns (and other useful trivia)

Vikings never wore helmets, Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary my dear Watson," and the 100 Years War lasted 116 years. Trivia I learned from ads by age for propmark. The slogan is, "When the advertising is good, it becomes a part of history," and it's hard to argue with the sentiment. (Of course, the ads don't do a very good job of explaining what propmark is.) Via.
