Sometimes, I gack links from LJ:

• Kennedy Space Center in Legos -- complete with Shuttle on the pad. (via)
  
• How smart is that octopus in the window? (via)
  
• On the life-cycle of the semicolon. (via)

Sometimes, I gack them from blogs:

• Cookie Monster defends his record on The Colbert Report. (via)
  
• Number of bumper-stickers correlates with road rage. (via)
  
• What happens when wine critics taste-test root beer. (via)

Sometimes, I gack blogs:

• How to survive in 1000 A.D., distilled into a song.
  
• More rice paddy art.
  
• Once upon a syntactic ambiguity. Including much goodness about the unavoidability of temporary ambiguity.

That ought to keep you guys occupied for a little bit.

I'm so with Colbert on this one. I still haven't forgiven Cookie for his betrayal.

Also loving the 1000 A.D. song.

On a tour at SeaWorld, we were told about really expensive fish that were found missing out of their tanks when the keeper arrived in the mornings. One morning the keeper got to work early and discovered where they had gone. The octopus was escaping through a quarter sized hole in its tank, eating them, and then returning to its tank before the keeper got there.

When we went to an aquarium in LA, I noticed that in the octopus' tank there was a Mr. Potato head. I asked a keeper and they told me it was for the octopus, they needed to keep it busy.

Heh. Yup, that's octopods for you.

I can believe it about bumper stickers--a car with lots of bumper stickers is shouting its occupants beliefs to the world, and even if they're pacific, the bumper stickers are still shouting.

That being said, I enjoy being behind cars with lots of bumper stickers--they're entertaining (usually... )

Depends on how much sense of humor they show ...
