1. Ugly as heck, but pretty funny - - King Hippo t-shirt up for vote at Threadless.

2. Photo of a desolate, snowy street.

3. Dating site OKCupid reports on what types of profile photos seem to be most successful. Not surprisingly, cleavage photos for women and ab shots for young guys do well. However, there's hope for you if you're not stunning. Interesting photos that don't reveal the face also do well.

Lego Gundam (link roundup)

Lego Gundam by Marco-Pochi. Via.

And a few more links:

1. Just about completely taking the "school" out of high school basketball:

One of the requirements of playing for Findlay College Prep is a willingness to repeatedly explain an apparent conundrum: How can the Pilots be one of the best high school teams in the nation when Findlay Prep isn't a high school? In the Pilots' unconventional program, the players live together in a suburban Las Vegas house, travel as much as some college teams, dine occasionally on the Vegas strip and... oh, yes, take classes at a nearby private school, Henderson (Nev.) International School. ¶ "It can get confusing for people," says senior Carlos Lopez, the Pilots' 6'11" center from Lajas, Puerto Rico, and a UNLV recruit. "I tell them Findlay Prep is a team, not a school. Then it's like, 'You don't go to school?' Yes, we go to school just like anybody else, but our team is not the same as our school. Like I said, confusing."

Sports Illustrated investigates.

2. The threat against the White House you may have missed last week - - bees.

3. There's a band called "Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin" and here's a concert poster for it.

4. Watch the sequel to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out you never knew about - - "Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch."

Punch-Out collector's kit does not include the game?

This is certainly an interesting strategy. Amazon is taking preorders for the "Punch-Out!! Amazon.com Exclusive Heavyweight Contender Kit." It includes:

* King Hippo Crown Replica
* King Hippo Desktop Punching Bag
* King Hippo Boxer Shorts (Size: Large)
* Doc Louis Remedy Chocolate Bar

But it does NOT include the game. What a bizarre selection of items. At $35, I have a hard time accepting that many people are going to buy it, unless they think the game's inside. Amazon link.

Relatedly, you can now buy the Fallout 3 collector's kit, which includes the game, a Vault Boy bobblehead, lunch box, and hardcover art book for $50 at Amazon.
