February 10 Links

Found at Will Write for Chocolate:
I read hundreds of blogs, some for content (mostly book blogs and comic book blogs) and some because they’re fun (a lot of link blogs are in here). Also Miss Cellania.Lets see, Shelly reads lots of blogs for content. She also reads lots of blogs because they are fun. And then she reads mine, but God knows why. Hahaha!
You may think I’m just plain nuts, but I’ve added another site to the Miss Cellania family. I am now a part-time contributor at Mental Floss, and proud as punch! Check out my first two posts, Destination Cemeteries, and Periodic Tableware. Now I’m actively looking for photogenic subjects to cover, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know. Someone said something about my four blogs. Uh, take a look, there's seven now. This one, and the six listed in the sidebar.
The Garden
James Provan created this video along with the musical accompaniment. He made a name for himself by posting his video creations on YouTube, and it has paid off bigtime! Time Warner is using a clip from it to promote its Road Runner broadband service, with a nice compensation. (via Arbroath)

The Astronomy Picture of the Day for February 5th caught fireworks, lighting, and a comet all in one scene (January 26th, Perth, Australia). Awesome.

Joggling is a term for jogging while juggling. Really. Perry Romanowski is a long-distance joggler who publishes training tips and stories about his quest to joggle 44 marathon races in his blog Just Your Average Joggler. (via Grow-A-Brain)
COLLEGE TALK
Two Columbia Yuppies, neighbors for years, were constantly trying to "out-status" each other. The first man mentioned that his daughter had just been accepted at Vassar.
"That's nice," replied the other, "but the main thing the girls really learn there is fornication."
The first man became irate and said, "I'll have you know my wife attended Vassar!"
The neighbor smiled and said, "Take it from me, Pal, your wife certainly could use a refresher course."
Simple Simon read about the London flat for sale that was only 7’x11’. He took that as a design challenge. Can such a small space be made livable? His plans include a space-saving sleeping loft. My suggestion would be to combine the shower and toilet area, as they do in Japanese hotels. My smallest apartment was 12x26. It had a fully functional kitchen, although you couldn’t open the refrigerator and the oven at the same time. And opening either would block the passage to the bedroom and bathroom. Have you ever had an apartment that small?
Smart or Stoopid? is a short and timed IQ test. “Naturally, only stupid people would take it as a true indicator of intelligence, and only intelligent people would take it as a true indicator of stupidity. Or something like that.” (via the Presurfer, who outscored me) Here’s my results.

Every once in a while, I wonder if I should put a warning for children not to read my blog (they shouldn’t). But wouldn’t such a warning make them want to read it even more? The Useless Men had some really useless advice on this.
Randall Munroe at the wonderful blog xkcd took George Washington’s Farewell Address of 1796 and painstakingly translated each point into 21st century American English. He said the process was “fun, depressing, inspiring, and a little bit spooky.” The results are amazingly easy to read and understand. I was hooked when I saw how he distilled the long introduction down to " 'Sup." (via Metafilter)

THE DATE
The attractive young thing was about to go to bed with her blind date when she burst into tears. "I'm afraid you'll get the wrong idea about me," she said between sobs. "I'm really not that kind of girl!"
"I believe ya," her date said, as he tried to comfort her.
"You're the first one," she gulped.
"The first one to make love to you?" he asked.
"No!" she replied. "The first one to believe me."
