Something Else Refreshing

A post on something besides my damned brain tumor, because I'm sick of thinking about it.

Instead, let's consider things like:

The MIT Logo Folded From a Single Sheet of Paper

Note with interest the various stages in which the origamus's ontology recapitulates its phylogeny: at various stages, it resembles first an airplane, then a mother airplane nursing its brood, then the sword Steve Reeves carried in Hercules Versus the Goat Women, before finally taking on recognizable shape as a university emblem.

or maybe

The World's Biggest Moose

"Inside the mouth, between the teeth and the tonsils, you will find the gift shop."
Please note that the above is not a bit of silliness, but an actual fact, straight out of the voiceover on the video.

or else

Robot Violin Playing

Damn. Just look at that thing go, and try to keep in mind that it's real: a real five-foot tall robot, actually playing that actual violin.

or even

A Book Report

"It is my considered opinion that The Mill on the Floss would have been vastly improved by an alien invasion about half way through."

My first thought on this was that it provided useful impetus for fanfic writers. We can start with the question of what kind of aliens they'll be, whether existing or original, and what form their invasion will take. From there, we can move on to consider alternative venues, such as Silas Marner, Emma, The Mayor of Casterbridge and Wuthering Heights.

Or not.
