Link roundup

1. Annotations for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 1969 (20% off at TFAW). Via.

2. Norwegian response to the gunman:

An inadequate boat and a decision to await a special armed unit from Oslo, 45 km (28 miles) away, delayed the response.

"When so many people and equipment were put into it, the boat started to take on water, so that the motor stopped," said Erik Berga, police operations chief in Buskerud County.

3. Chip Kidd is writing a Batman comic.

4. Seinfeld: The Most Kafkaesque Show on Television.

5. Lots of photos of the "vintage" Star Wars figures that will be clogging the shelves in the near future. Is someone buying these things in other cities? Not in LA.

Magic bicycle (link roundup)

Magic bicycle by Olli Erkkila. Via these sites.

And a few more links:

1. A surgical technician was convicted of firing a gun into an occupied car, but returned to work at Harbor-UCLA hospital in Los Angeles days after being released from jail. He was also previously suspended after threatening a doctor.

2. White supremacists are angry at the NFL for honoring Hispanic Heritage Month and are scheming to disrupt the coach to helmet radio feed?

3. Anyone want to buy KOTOR for the PC cheap? You can buy it for $10 here, and I was recently sent a 25% off coupon. I think it's a single use code, so let me know if you want it.

*Previously: Homemade tank powered by six sets of bicycle pedals.

*Buy KOTOR toys at eBay.

Ridiculous football team photos (link roundup)

Deadsping has asked for ridiculous football team photos and has received some tremendous entries.

And a few more links:

1. So you know: Leon Trotsky was a really bad man.

2. Too good to verify: Robin Williams has been asked to play Britain's Got Talent singer Susan Boyle in a biopic about her life. Sounds like a perfect fit.

3. The US "has decided to keep an elite 600-troop counterinsurgency operation deployed in the Philippines." Via.

*Previously: Portraits with laser backgrounds.
