reldnahkramHopefully you've had time to fully digest your Thanksgiving meal, because here's a smorgasbord of links:
A German math professor tossed a bunch of legos in his washing machine to see how they'd stick together.
I'm totally the sort of person who'd try cooking in a coffee maker...if I owned a coffee maker.
Tricksy parents arrange their kids' dinsoaurs every night to make it seem like they've been up to no good.
Apparently, turtle cozies are a thing and they're adorable. Also, did you know that turtle's can't be *SQUISH*ed because their shells protect them?
Australian researchers developed a robot to herd cattle (YouTube).
Star Wars links: Death Star wall tiles, a gingerbread reindeer AT-AT, and Millenium Falcon bakeware.
Tracking satellites and space junk using the reflections of terrestrial FM pop stations.
The history of English, in ten minutes, and a virtusoso example of how to use language (both YouTube).
Photographer recreates famous photographs in LEGO.
Mesmerizing and sobering time lapse map of every nuclear explosion.
This kickstarter turns old CRTs into coasters and tiles.
Giant concrete arrows are remannts of a primitive guidance system for early transcontinental flights.
Sometimes even Amtrak gets lost.
Dividing up the US by watershed.
A farewell to the world's longest (regular) flight.
A wonderful collection of really weird bus stops.
Your periodic reminder to never mess with Canada.
And finally, a 16-foot long model of an Airbus A380-800 (YouTube). Watching it fly is very disconcerting because it seems much more maneuverable and acrobatic than the real thing.
