There are some chainsaws that are made to cut up concrete. Here’s a link to one that is made to cut up your neighbor’s Honda Civic anything. Also, you have to drop it to use it.

Spitting Cobra

The zoo is an amazing place. If you think of the animals as employees (and not captives) then they really have great jobs, they lay around. Also, they get to spit and throw poo at the patrons. Not bad. On another note, it is surprising how many animals there are that spit to defend themselves. And some of them don’t even spit venom. Lame.

Wilkanowski Guitar

Wilkanowski Guitar

William Wilkanowski was a Polish violin and guitar maker who worked in Boston in the 1920’s through the 1940’s. He made what I think are some of the most attractive archtops. He’s also credited with over 5000 violins and 100 violas. I know this because I wrote the original Wikipedia article about him. The article has since been improved. Its still really not a great article. It lacks a picture. Perhaps this one?

I think this M.U.S.C.L.E character is half dolphin half man, but he doesn’t have a dorsal fin, which he clearly should      …so who knows what he is actually.
