| Man Makes Tiny Guns out of Corn Stalks Posted: 31 Oct 2010 03:12 PM PDT 83-year old Leo Clark makes tiny model guns out of corn stalks. Some of them feature moving parts and can be loaded with tiny cartridges, also made completely out of corn. They’re incredibly detailed, right down to the crosshairs in the scopes. You can watch a local news video about Clark at the link. Note that the news story appears to be at least three years old. Video Link via Everyday, No Days Off |

I’m sure most of you are aware of the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, as hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I’ll leave the political pontifications to other sites, and focus on the very, very funny posters pool at Flickr. |

His commenters have determined that the model is a Skoda Octavia Combi — a Czech-made vehicle. The doily appears to be located in Prague. Does anyone the name of the artist responsible? |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2010 10:23 AM PDT A new way to interact with fiction from Jonathan M. Guberman on Vimeo. The automatypewriter was conceived as a platform for interactive fiction. It types better than I do and can detect what is being typed on it. It differs from a teletype machine in that the keys move on their own and it can send and/or receive text from a computer via USB. The kinks are still being worked out but you can actually visit the automatypewriter at Site 3 coLaboratory in Toronto. |

Forget haunted houses – in Russia, there are entire cities and towns that look haunted. Dark Roasted Blend explains:
