Today's Mighty Oak


Alright, let’s see what we have today.  First up, Sweden’s recycling programs are so good, they’ve run out of trash.

Are you allergic to cats, but your significant other loves them?  Science may be able to save your relationship.

A teaser for the new season of American Horror Story:

I’ve tried to explain it before, but the Good Men Project does a great job talking about the concept of “family of choice.”

I have a different story to link to about Pope Francis’ comments, but a great follow up from the head of the HRC can be found here.

That’s it for now, short update.  Have a great one!



Quick update for everyone, I”ll be back with much more very soon as well.

First up, this is just adorable, so if you’re having a bad day, prepare for it to turn around:

Stunning art made from plastic water bottles, you can see more pics here.

Also from Copyranter, an awesome ad for seatbelts and an incredible series for Child Abuse Awareness.  He also has a cool ad buy for an S&M shop, but no one in Pittsburgh would have seen these, you don’t hit the bottom of the ketchup bottle, you smack the ’57’ near the neck with the heel of your hand.

 I never even thought of this, but of course, it’s amazing:

Slog has a great post, “Band Names that double as ways I would want to die.”  My favorite: Trampled by Turtles.

This chart is made from data collected this May (2012).  Sigh.

And finally from Nerdist and PBS, a primer on 8-bit art:

That’s it for now, be back soon!

 



Okay, I’m back, some more fun things from around the Interwebs for you:

First up, major nerd spoiler alert.  You’ve been warned.

The Human Torch was killed off last month, so to fill out the ranks of the previous Fantastic Four (now dubbed The Future Foundation) they’ve added Spiderman to their ranks, and new costumes for everyone:

I think Little Big Planet would be the only reason I’d buy a PS3, and this makes me want to play the game again:

Copyranter shows a really cool bag that can be reused in lots of different ways.  Really cool.

The trailer for X-Men: First Class is out, and even though I’m having a hard time identifying a lot of people, looks pretty awesome:

If you didn’t already think the American Family Foundation were all assholes, now you will.  Apparently, we were justified forcing the Native American’s off their land.  Because you know, they aren’t really families, or something.

Here’s a fantastic ad for the state-level ENDA in Kentucky:

And in case you had any doubt, Republicans have twice as many sex scandals as Democrats (at least in the last decade, and those that were caught/reported of course).  However, big points for the Onion:
