Syncing metronomes.
Unwritten rules of baseball. Oops.
An interesting if a little off base argument that questions the ubiquity of Darwinian mechanisms.
Remember Kerry Wood's gem references a couple of weeks ago?
Fantastic blog of Crossword-inspired sketches. If you like the NYT Xword puzzle, you gotta check it.
Cool album covers, maybe.

My dad needs to have this as his homepage. For his puns.

Aaron thought I was kidding.
The entire catalogue of ACME products. Genius.
And some funny comparisons in the biking v. driving wars.
