scans_daily! I don't care if you don't like comics, you must check this out. This is in the running to be my favourite single issue of a comic, ever. *points to icon* Extremely funny and, just, genius work from Ennis and Fabry, here. I'll make the entire thing available to anyone who wants any more.

vensre: European Geography quiz (I got 71% even though I was REALLY close on most of them. Well, a couple. Ok, one or two. Geography's not my strong point, ok?) and US Sate quiz (74%). Despite the fact that I got a higher score for the US one I have real trouble with US States. When I read about them I tend to divide them into east and west according to their assumed hillbilliness quotient (yeah, that's a technical term). What? Indiana and Tenessee are in the east and Washington's on the west coast? Since when is Montana on the Canadian border? Yes, I sudied the Pesidential election maps; yes, I got out the atlas to read that excellent O11/O12 roadtrip fic; yes, I even studied the War of Independence (for that reason I got most of the east coast right). For some reason (namely, I am stupid) it just doesn't stick. I mean, I owe the fact that I know where Florida is purely to Piers Anthony.
Anyway. Found via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
boing_boing: the website for Matthew Herbert's Plat du Jour. Herbert and his mates have created an album made entirely of found/food instuments. Check out the images and making of sections! One of my favourites:
we recreated the meal that nigella lawson cooked for george bush when he came to britain to thank tony blair for his support during the iraq during the meal... then we drove over the meal with a chieftan mk 10 battle tank from the mid-late sixties.
....an advisor to the foreign office baked the apple pie with his fiancee using one of nigella's recipes. it was then taken to manassas, the site of one of the opening battles of the american civil war, where it was shot by an us ex-military intelligence officer using a 9mm luger (1937approx) as used by a nazi sd officer, colt 45 (model 1911) high standard .22...
There is, as you can see, a definite political/philosophical idea behind it. Lord knows if it will sound any good but I am interested in hearing it.
