I'm going to jump up on the table / and dance my ass off till I die / then hopefully forget you"

The 2010 Lyttle Lytton winners are up -- and have been since last week, mea culpa. But that makes a good excuse for another link stir-fry of whatever else is in the fridge:

• Continuing Department of Awesomely Jarring covers: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon scored for Nintendo 8-bit system. If you go to the YouTube versions, "Time" is in the second installment. (via)
  
  
• Also, on the heels of the bluegrass version, it's a smooth jazz cover of "Enter Sandman". Using James Hetfield's original vocals no less. (via)
  
  
• This is not a spiral. It is also not a pipe, or even a picture of a pipe, but despite appearances it also is not a spiral. Freaky.
  
  
• When faced with the question "Would a lava lamp work on Jupiter?", this guy built a centrifuge to find out. (via)
  
  
• How gravity works in illuminated medieval manuscripts, as illustrated by Mario. (via someone I lost in the tab forest)
  
  
• Worst detention slip ever. Owwww. (via)
  
  
• A flowchart to help you choose a typeface. (via)
  
  
• Ocarinas made of broccoli, a mushroom, carrot (demonstrated), and an apple, among other veggies. Also, a diakon slide whistle. And related instruments, all by the same guy. (via)

Mmm -- stir-fry.
