Phantasmic Links 3.30.09

Has anyone seen my weekend? I had it a second ago. Some yardwork, church, and a few DVDs later and here we are at Monday all over again. And again. And again, faster and faster. It's ridiculous. While I ponder the unsolvable problem of accelerating time, pass your time with this week's PHANTASMIC LINKS:

(1) Headmaster announces school to be vampire-free. That has to be a relief to parents who worry about that sort of thing...
Hat Tip: Darrell.

(2) Here's a truly bizarre tale about a gremlin on Dancing With the Stars. Maybe I should watch that show after all...
H.T.: Rhodester.

(3) Gen is simple: be a cell, attract other cells, and draw them to a good cell without being destroyed. Actually, it only sounds simple...

(4) What was Barcelona like in 1908? This video is like time travel.

(5) The Strangest Music Videos of All Time. Here's my favorite...
H.T.: Darrell.

(6) At the Insect Lab, dead bugs are refitted with gears and other machine parts. That's just as cool as it sounds, and I for one welcome our cyborg insect overlords...

(7) I'm amazed that, from the ground, a photographer captured this image of the Space Shuttle Discovery docked at the International Space Station. I can't even get a decent shot of a plane...

(8) Sheep + LED lights=Endless Visual Possibilities...

(9) At my exact age, Jesse William Lazear, an assistant surgeon for the U.S. Army who discovered that mosquitos transmit yellow fever, died of yellow fever from a mosquito bite. Rey, who recently celebrated a birthday, has now outlived mass murderer George Hennard. Find out who was Dead At Your Age.

(10) Finally, try your patience and skill at TETORIS, a massive version of a classic favorite. Arrow keys move and rotate; space bar speeds things up. You will need that space bar...
