Costume party
Halloween was months ago – which shows you how far behind the eight ball I am with posting the stuff in my queue. These are my two favourite costumes form around the blogosphere this year.

Weapons of mosquito destruction
Mosquitoes are dangerous. They carry all sorts of nasty tropical diseases. You should kill them. You should overkill them.
Here’s a nifty little mosquito killing contraption made from common household items.
From here.
A wee bit of physics
I spent a couple of days trying to decide whether to post this picture. My mum said it was ok.
