Link Dumps of London
Walktopus – Rather wonderful and surreal octopus sculpture by Scott Musgrove.
Jacob’s Ghost Whiskey – This “white whiskey” by Jim Beam would be a nice addition to a spooky bar.
Re-nesting Baby Bats – The Conservancy of SW FL saved nearly 150 baby bats after their home was destroyed by a storm. These are some very snorgle-able batlings. (Hat tip to Cat)
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Wedding Photos – Amusing photo shoot inspired by the book.
Medieval Weapons Ice Tray – I’m not sure how practical these would be for keeping drinks cold, but they’re pretty neat anyway.
Boogeymen – Part of a 1923 set of “eerie stereoviews.” A couple of these are genuinely creepy.
PowerUpCollage – These collages made of old comic books are quite striking.
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas – Ursula K. Le Guin’s beautifully depressing classic short story.
You’ll Be Safe Here – A lovely image which pays tribute to all of geekdom.
Tentacle Door Stop – Slithery tentacular decor.

Loved the video on re-nesting bats. Big props to wildlife rehabilitators everywhere! Boogeymen was great, and the guy with the huge grin popping out from under the bed cracked me up. The images in Ursula K. Le Guin’s story are ones that will probably stick with me, and I think I’ll be ordering a print of You’ll Be Safe Here.

Time to pull out the polyclay and make a doorstop!

The doorstops at work don’t work. I think I may have found a solution.
Also, the great thing about silicone ice cube trays is that they’re also great chocolate molds (if you tend in that direction).
