2 Effective Methods of Bathing a Cat

Bathing a cat is not for the faint hearted.

Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. We recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face-mask, and a long-sleeved flak jacket.

Lego

Tons of scanned Lego manuals from the 50s to the present day. I remember this one from 1979.

Drawer Geeks

Drawer Geeks is an online illustration challenge. Every alternate Friday artists and illustrators create their own version of a given fictional character. This week it's Santa Claus.

Vacuum Shoes?

Is it April 1st? This is apparently a concept model from Electrolux - Shoes that vacuum the floor as you walk around.

There's no word on whether you can scale buildings with them (or put them in reverse and float around your living room). They certainly do suck though.

GTA...Bramley

At 6am this morning some twocker (latin:Chavster Twockeri) woke up the whole street by setting fire to a car infront of our house. This was the scene just after the firemen put it out.
It was pretty scary really, the car was totally ablaze and you could feel the heat inside our house (which is just out of view to the right of this pic). I was hoping it would asplode but it was not to be.
