Fink's Links #23

Another week almost over, so it's time for some more Friday fun! So join me as I separate the curd from the whey and wrap the resultant jellid mass into tasty little mouldy bags of separated internety solids for you to enjoy in a sandwich (perhaps with some pickle) -

Lets start this week off by looking in the freezer for a refreshing "hopsicle" (of dubious legal status)...

Suck thoughtfully on that while we examine 51 things Google won't let you see on google maps (including most of Sydney, Australia oddly)...

Now watch the incredibly cruel flip flop glue prank...

Want a new 3G iPhone from this shop? Better get your tardis... ;)

Lightning strikes woman as she is filming video (and yes, this is the video)...

Fancy a free, decent-physics-engine, reasonable graphics engine Earth/space launch simulator, then look no further than Orbiter...

The Freeloader solar charger gets an upgrade...*nearly tempted enough*...

Artists launch SMS controlled "UFO" over Poland (causing much panic among residents)...It's actually hung from a helicopter, but it looks very convincing from the ground (with video goodness)... ;)

Sticking with Wired - Bursting forth fresh from the kennels, DVD-sniffer dogs to combat piracy (yes, really)! But how can they tell the difference between pirate movies and other data? Cue lines of hapless geeks in handcuffs at the airport having their legitimate disks mauled by greasy fingered security guards...

Rebirdy - a skull shaped bird feeder...

Fancy watching a giant squid dissection? It's the whole thing, takes about 1.5 hours (just to warn you)...

Marvel at an antique pocket watch pistol...

Enjoy the "Star Wars meets fine art" photoshop competition results...

A model space elevator made from Lego bricks...

Oh and don't miss the chance to see where all those bricks were made (with video goodness)...

The worlds cutest letter opener...

The extremely rarely photographed Sphinx from behind...

Fancy buying your own T-Rex? You can even choose the pose... ;)

A nice homebrew Nixie tube clock?

Sore feet? How about a flesh eating fish pedicure?

...and finally a picture entitled "In Memory of Leonard Ball who hated fat people"...

More next week, previous collections can be found here...
