Destination Creation – an art site; all kinds of interesting and weird stuff, like Reality Simpsons, an Escher tribute and a number of celebrity zombifications.
RT.com – Russian news and culture
Good Show Sir – Worst Sci-Fi Covers – Oh come on! Many of these are cool! (via)
AltJapan – More odd stuff from Japan. How about an Obama action figure (another one from BR)
Where’s My Jetpack? – You know… sometimes I really wish everyone would just shut up about the stupid jetpacks. That’s the second worst idea ever, the worst being the flying car. There are some interesting pics there though. I like the steampunk jetpack. It’s obviously just for show and that might be the best thing about it.
How a European Sees the USA – I often get the feeling that’s how some Americans see it too. (via)

I wouldn’t swear to it, but going to the “Reality Simpsons” site may have led to a piece of malware being downloaded on my computer. Fortunately my anti-spyware program finally managed to get rid of it. (FWIW, I use Firefox but had the Web of Trust turned off…not gonna do that again)
