Ben posts Peanuts comics on Thursdays. They’re a fun reminder of days flicking through Snoopy comics and playing the Snoopy Game on the Amiga.
Well, this post should excite him greatly – a real life Charlie Brown – courtesy of a Mr Tim O’Brien – who produced this for an exhibition entitled “Monsters”. It’s great.
Another artist name Pixeloo – or whose site is named Pixeloo – has put together a bunch of “real life” cartoon (and game) characters… they’re kind of freaky.
From the guy who brought you all the other awesome anatomy posters.
Ever wondered just how close to midnight your town’s personal doomsday clock should be? Start the calculations rolling with this little tool that lets you know just how much nuclear danger you’re in.

I get some decidedly odd spam these days. I’m sure you do too. Any piece of art based on spam emails is likely to be a little risqué – so click through to this page at your own risk… this has been around for a while. I’m doing some spring cleaning of my queue of blog fodder…
Elliot Burford is producing a series of literal spam. Or something. You can get them as T-Shirts.
Luigi is the forgotten Italian Plumber. Less cool because he wears green and was pretty much a lackey, or a bit player – an 8-bit player no less – in the Mario Bros saga – it’s not the Mario and Luigi bros is it… and Mario gets the girl…
Luckily someone out there is still holding a torch/flame/candle (whatever the expression is) for the green guy – because they produced this awesome Lego statue.
The nuclear revolution will have untold benefits for the human species. Like extra limbs. Apparently.

Bacon obsessions are largely healthy – unless they include unhealthy consumption of bacon or getting pictures of bacon tattooed on your arm… like this guy…
The thing that always frustrated me about cartoons based on the perennial chase, the binary battle between good and evil, the constant game of cat and mouse – was that in every case (except perhaps for Itchy and Scratchy) – the poor innocent creature got away. Well, not in these beautifully conceived reworkings of classic cartoons…
I am really enjoying “There I Fixed It” – you should be too. Just in case you missed last week’s feature here’s another piece of Darwin Award inspired brilliance.
Twitter really is just a mechanism for stalking (and for chasing up information on totally awesome coffee machine technology). This pretty much sums it up.
All novelty T-Shirt lovers love Threadless. Well, probably. If you are a novelty T-Shirt lover and you don’t – then please, let me know.
Threadless is good. But it lacks calories. So here’s a site that fixes that little problem. Turning this:
There are heaps more…
I’m working on a presentation on Calvin and Servetus for a mini Calvin Conference we’re having this weekend. These are the articles I’ve found – starting with a timeline.
Muse has a new album coming out in September – it excites me that the track listing includes three tracks called “symphony”…
I’ll finish tonight’s blogging extravaganza with this little piece of font humour. From here.
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is an interesting looking guy who makes interesting sounding music. Those who are unaware of Radiohead should do themselves a favour and become aware – those who are aware – how cool is this “Paranoid Android” inspired Thom Yorke head…
