Short link amuse bouches for Friday

Prisoner faps in his cell, court decides that's a crime because said cell is a "a limited access public place" in which "exposing oneself is against the law." Link

Speaking of fappage: Link to Violet Blue's post about N De Samim, a shopping website for very expensive knickers. Vintage-themed photos and lovely models make obnoxious Flash and sound forgivable. (detail screengrab above, site includes butt cleavage and boobs) (NSFW).

Having sex with a non-consenting woman in Wisconsin is legal, as long as she's dead: Link.

Many Americans are experiencing inordinate delays getting their passports renewed: Link.

A FOX affiliate in Los Angeles takes on channers (mean-spirited anons that frequent 7chan, 420chan, and the like): Video Link. Made awesome by the reporter's detailed explanation of the term "lulz," and what may be the first ever broadcast use of the phrase "truly epic lulz."

Speaking of FOX: Steve Baron, who happens to works at a Chicago FOX TV affiliate, says: "When I walked in the office this morning I stopped dead in my tracks; I looked to the left, and there was what appeared to be a horse sitting there. We are in a 40 story skyscraper in downtown Chicago. Little did I know, this horse was "Thumbelina", at 17.5 inches tall, the world's smallest horse." Link to video.

Harptallica! Link.

BSOD tat! Link.

FSM tat! Link.

Q: How do you stop meerkats from fighting? A: Smear Vicks Vapo Rub on them. Link.

A tree native to Uganda which is valued by folks there for purported aphrodisiac and sexual potency enhancement qualities is now overharvested, and damn near extinct: Link.

Someone used grass killer to draw a penis pointing to the governor's mansion in Boise, ID. Link.

Jackhammer Jill (BoingBoing's girlie with the power tool, above in our logo) redrawn by Ape Lad as a squid!!! Link

Obligatory Simpsons Movie Opening Day item -- a celebrity cameo trivia quiz. Did Rupert Murdoch say he was a "billionaire tyrant" in real life or on The Simpsons? Find out: Link.

Mt. St. Helens volcano observatory webcam goes hidef: Link.

Rhizome.org, home of cool 'net art for many years, goes Creative Commons: Link.

Kink.com made a very funny video PSA about 2257 regulations: here's Link 1, here's Link 2 (NSFW: nudity, adult humor).

Alphabet made by looking up at buildings: Link.

(Thanks, Violet Blue, delrocco, Nathalie, Mike, Jacob Appelbaum, Fred Benenson, Adam Koford, B. Fezzi, AJ)
