Some brilliant things:

Behold the wonder that is Godzilliad book I:

Godzilla's wrath, to Earth the direful spring
Of woes unnumber'd, heavenly goddess, sing!
What grudge could fire the fierce atomic breath
That burnt so many citizens to death?

Deeeeelish. Bonus link: Beowulf Meets Godsylla. (via)

How to fold an origami wallet, using both pieces of A3 paper cut lengthways. Video is cued to the start of actual instructions. (via, with punny riffs in the comments)

Frog train. (via)
