Which sent me on a long, dark journey into the deepest depths of dork:
- A detailed guide to action figure articulation.
- Why you should shut up if your DC Comics action figure doesn’t have enough.

- Black-costume Spider-Man has enough points of articulation to be a master yogi, but apparently has bad posture nonetheless.
Western celebrities are attacking Tokyo!. (guest submission from Lost-in-Translation Andrea)
A choice selection of book cover design. (guest submission from Andrea)
iTunes is selling the audio of Stephen Colbert’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner (iTunes link) speech for $1.99. (the free video seems to have disappeared from YouTube…)
Onanists beware the ceiling cat. (guest submission from Master-of-Her-Domain Andrea)
