Maleficent’s Castle (link roundup)



Maleficent's Castle ("Forbidden Fortress"), sculpted by Larry Nikolai and available April 2010. See also: The Pegasus Family ("Mythic Menagerie") from Fantasia.

And a few more links:

1. Interesting TED talk: While living and working as a marine biologist in Maldives, Charles Anderson noticed sudden explosions of dragonflies at certain times of year. He explains how he carefully tracked the path of a plain, little dragonfly called the globe skimmer, only to discover that it had the longest migratory journey of any insect in the world.

2. And here's another good TED talk: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian tells the story of Mister Splashy Pants.

3. Zombie in love.
