At least as strange as fiction…

The Incredible True Story of the Collar Bomb Heist

100 Artists

Too cool!

Also: 100 Artists Rolled into One Man

(Edit: The numbered, limited edition version of the biennial book is $1000, but I emailed to ask and Mr. Hembrey wrote back that if there is enough interest there could be a publishing house version of the book in a more affordable price point. :) Here’s hoping!)

A strange but lovely story…

“If Dragon’s Mass Eve Be Cold And Clear” by Ken Scholes

Oh, this is so wrong…

I could insert the picture here, but then you might miss the text…

Snarf warning: don’t click through while taking a drink of something.

Creativity and eccentricity…

I’m not sure if it’s disturbing or reassuring how familiar some of this is:

The Unleashed Mind: Why Creative People Are Eccentric
(Thanks to Katie for the link!)

Epidemic? Or just newly recognized?

An interesting article from the LA Times on new research that indicates that the incidence of undiagnosed autism in adults is probably consistent with the incidence of diagnosed autism in the current generation.

Basically, the argument is that the observed increase in the percentage of people with autism is due to better recognition rather than an actual increase.

Autism Hidden in Plain Sight

It looks like this is the fourth in a series of articles, with links to the others at the bottom.

I liked the quotes from people who received a diagnosis as an adult. For some, at least, it sounds like it’s helpful to know why they’re different.

Gingerbread!

I love the Cake Wrecks website.

And I really, really love their Sunday Sweets feature.

Cellos, Star Wars, strangely awesome. :)

I like it, anyway. :) Be sure to go check out their website, where you can download the MP3.

On an entirely different note, I got lazy about the spam filter for my comments and let it get up to over 200… so I just deleted them all without looking. If you’ve commented, and it hasn’t shown up, please try again or send me a quick email. Thanks!

Cool stuff!

Just ’cause I love you. :)

Yeti Crab

Deep-sea yeti crabs farm their bacterial food on their own arms.

A sandwich that stays fresh up to two years?

And finally, Six people who gained amazing skills after brain injuries.

Too amazing not to share!

I felt like I was watching a Cirque du Soleil show!

Thanks to John Scalzi for the link. :)
