Creepy, interesting, and real -- a short link roundup.

University of Washington to students: Not only will we not shield you from RIAA lawsuits, we will track you down like the dogs you are, and serve you with the RIAA's legal papers. Link.

A haiku about the eminently fuckable iPhone: Link. Also, the rate plan details are out: Link.

Why yes, I *would* like to ride a rocket into space, then jump out of it and free-float to an Earth re-entry. Link.

Dramatic Chipmunk, make way for Dramatic Cow: Link. Needs ominous music.

Kobayashi, competitive eater, defeated by his own arthritic jaw. Ow. Link.

All you need to know about the Pile High Club is that it involves poop, and you do not want to be a member. Link 1, Link 2.

Cyclops gator tries to bite off golfer's arm at Florida golf course: Link.

Sketches from an "embedded artist" traveling with troops in Afghanistan, as shown on the top and bottom of this BoingBoing post: Link (via ArtThreat).

Scariest dude alive gets punked by 59-year-old man at Arby's (whoah, the photo): Link.

Urban happiness movement in Colombia: Hedonics, and changes to Bogota's transportation systems: Link to monster article, here's a shorter blog post about it.

Curb your child's thumb sucking with the power of acetone! Link.

Reader comment: Nathan Seven says,

Regarding "Scariest dude alive" -- The Smoking Gun has his mugshot: Link. Also, he's just got a bit of a tattoo problem- whereas this guy seems to have a few more: Link.

Re: "Why yes, I *would* like to ride a rocket into space, then jump out of it and free-float to an Earth re-entry" -- Joesph Kittinger (the first man in space) achieved this feat using a high altitude balloon in 1960.

When I saw your "Creepy, interesting, and real" post from June 26 that included the criminal with the tattooed face, I immediately thought of Dion Milam (who someone commented/linked via The Smoking Gun). But in the vein of freaky face tattoos, don't miss the "Death Mask Guy" from bmezine post: Link
