"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." -- G.K. Chesterton

Crank caller

Now maybe this isn't quite at the level of "It", but this horror short called "Slash in the Box" might make for a nightmare or two.


And what's creepier than a creepy doll? A doll that's been abandoned so long that wasps have built a nest around it.

Wasps built a nest around this doll and now you can show your kids what they're getting for Xmas. 💀👍 #horror pic.twitter.com/LqJV1De1EJ

Utter foodishness

If Quentin Tarantino made a one-minute video on how to fix spaghetti and meatballs, it might look something like this. Check out David Ma's mini-series of reimagined recipes a la famous movie directors.

And want fries with that? Maybe in the form of some fast food furniture...

"Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos." -- Don Kardong

On the move

Breaking into a truck, WCGW ? from Whatcouldgowrong

What could possibly go wrong...? Three numbskulls on a motorbike attempt to break into a truck as it's rolling down the highway. And without helmets, no less.

Also to no avail, 10 fascinating (but ultimately pointless) studies for you to study.

And if you're a fan or want to become one, bOING bOING posted Hunter S. Thompson's masterful review of Ducati's legendary 900 Supersport and exaltation of cafe racers.

And a little less byzantine... can you fill in the missing word in each book title?

"When people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home." -- Betty Bender

Crowdsourcing

Over 65,000 people attended a Green Day concert in London back in July and the crowd made its own music between sets as thousands took part in a well executed en masse a capella version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
