Und appropos „King of Limbs“: Das Album hat bei mir ja nie wirklich gezündet. Es ist toll und großartig, aber es ist nicht so galaktisch wie die Radiohead-Alben zuvor. Warum weiß ich nicht, aber es ist so. Deshalb: Die Radiohead-KingofLimbs-Selbsthilfegruppe von BBC Comedy…

Badesalz-Junkie chased by Electricity
Von Lancaster-Online:
Believing that his car was melting and that he was being pursued by electricity, the 31-year-old Elizabethtown man abandoned his vehicle and broke into a home, police said.
Chased by the owner of the home on Gravel Hill Road in East Hanover Township, Lebanon County, police said, Seth Thomas Sanders broke into the man’s garage, fled, then jumped onto the hoods of two vehicles, including a state police cruiser, before being apprehended.
Following his arrest in the Feb. 27 incident, police said they found Sanders had been under the influence of the nation’s newest “designer drug” craze: bath salts.
Marketed as bath salts “not for human consumption,” they are sold under a variety of names, including “Red Dove,” “Blue Silk,” “Zoom,” “Bloom,” “Cloud Nine,” “Ocean Snow,” “Lunar Wave,” “Vanilla Sky,” “Ivory Wave,” “White Lightning,” “Scarface,” “K2″ and “Hurricane Charlie,” according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After
(Youtube Direktpride, via Albotas)
Nur der Vollständigkeit halber, weil ich die anderen Teile hier auch hatte, mir diese „Zombies in This’n'that“-Masche aber dennoch ziemlich auf meinen geheiligten Saque geht (obwohl ich mir Kafka with Kittens wohl wirklich zulegen werde): Quirk Classics haben grade den dritten Teil der Jane Austen-Remix-Serie rausgehauen… Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After. Oben der Trailer dazu, Snip von Amazon:
When we last saw Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy—at the end of the New York Times best seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—they were preparing for a lifetime of wedded bliss. Yet the honeymoon has barely begun when poor Mr. Darcy is nipped by a rampaging dreadful. Elizabeth knows the only acceptable course of action is to promptly behead her husband (and then burn the corpse, just to be safe). But when she learns of a miracle antidote being developed in London, she realizes there may be one last chance to save her true love—and for everyone to live happily ever after.
Complete with romance, heartbreak, martial arts, cannibalism, and an army of shambling corpses, Dreadfully Ever After brings the story of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to a thrilling conclusion.

CIAs vintage rectal Escape Kit from the 60s
Letzten Monat ging eine kleine Galerie mit vintage Spionage-Tool der CIA (hier das komplette Flickr-Set) rum, die fand ich allerdings nicht wirklich spannend. Jetzt hat Wireds Threat Level eine weitere Galerie nachgelegt und darin… findet man ein Ausbruch-Kit, das sich der Spion der 60er rektal einführte. James Bonds Felix had a lot of fun, back then.
Seriously Savage Rectal Houdini Kit
It’s a toss-up which would be worse, getting caught by the enemy or having the cap on this rectal escape kit pop off unexpectedly in a spy’s caboose. The kit was issued by the CIA in the 1960s.

Wooden Skateboards from Mumbai
Tolle geschnitzte Holz-Skateboards aus Mumbai: „Combine a worldwide sports craze with Mumbai’s traditional craftsmanship, and the result is an uncommonly interesting series of objects. Under the supervision of German curator Tobias Megerle, a dozen Mahim woodcarvers produced their own take on the traditional skateboard.“
