A veritable pu pu platter of short links

Image: drawing by a 13-year old child in orphanage run by RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan), Afghanistan. This gallery of drawings by other children in RAWA-run schools and shelters contains many incredible images: Link.

Baby, don't fear the reapurr: Link.

Allen Ginsberg's HOWL, reinterpreted for Lindsay Lohan: Video Link.

New calculations on just how much human beings dominate planet earth: Link 1, Link 2.

Roll your own Homer Simpson 3D donut trophy: Link.

Scary cephalopods invade Monterey Bay: "With a parrot-like beak and arms covered with thousands of sharp barbs, it attacks and tries to eat nearly anything it sees, including fish, scuba divers, even its own kind." Link.

This week, Flight of the Conchords did 1980 David Bowie in Space: Video Link to one excerpt on YT, HBO offers some clips here. One of my favorite episodes yet from this terrific show -- John Hodgman made a guest appearance!

NASA is testing robots in the Canadian arctic: Link.

Knit this for your infant, and they will resemble "Carl" from Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Link.

Trippy photo spread in Vogue Italia dramatizes the lives of coke-snorting, serial-rehabbing, gash-flashing celebutards: Link. Contains yoga and nudity.

(Thanks, Andrew Tonkin, Susannah, jarod, David, K-Milo, Pim, The Guy on the Couch, Borja, Aaron, and the dozens of readers who suggested the cat death thing)

Reader comment: More on the grim reapurr item -- BWJones says,

This story indicates that cats may be better detectors of metabolomic status than we give them credit for. Here's a related article in the New England Journal of Medicine BBC link here. CBS link here.

Ape Lad says,

Deth Kitteh pays a visit to the original Laugh-Out-Loud Cats. My great-grandfather was truly ahead of his time. Link.
