Watch a baseball player get impaled by a shattered bat

Chicago Cub Tyler Colvin was leading off third base when his teammate's bat shattered and struck him in the chest. He's now out for the year.

Video of an anteater drinking wine (link roundup)

Video of an anteater drinking wine. One of my alltime favorite cartoon characters is the anteater from the old Pink Panther cartoon, The Ant and the Aardvark. Via.

And a few more links:

1. Sir Harold Gillies, sculptor Kathleen Scott, artist Francis Derwent Wood and others worked together during World War to create masks for British troops disfigured during World War I. The official name for the facility was "Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department." But the troops called it "The Tin Noses Shop." Via The Human Marvels, which is chock full of stories about human oddities.

2. Sonny Liew has posted some great-looking pages from an upcoming Spider-Man story.

3. Hot rods and monsters by Joel Prittie.

4. Pretty picture of a donut.

Lego Mystery Machine (link roundup)

Lego Mystery Machine by Nathan Proudlove. He also created Scooby Doo and the rest of the gang out of Lego.

And a few more links:

1. Long list of plush tutorials and patterns.

2. As part of the 2009 Scottish Design Awards Nominations Exhibition, five architectural firms were invited to design Lego structures. You can see the fairly lackluster creations here.

3. Photos of the aftermath, and by aftermath, I mean someone's leg facing backwards, of a "dunking off trampolines" exhibition gone wrong at a New Orleans Hornets game.

4. Interesting interview with a CIA psychiatrist. Here's one problem common to agents (and I behave this way myself when I have to go on trips):

They start leaving and they think, 'Did I actually close all the safes?' Then they go back and check the safes and spin the dials and leave. And then they say, 'Well, wait a minute -- the safe was closed in the first place, so maybe when I spun the dials I actually opened it.'

Read more here, including a description of the distinction between Cold War-era and Gen-X spies. Via.
