Fascinating images – various images from the 1700′s and earlier. I especially like the two pictures of a fireworks display at the Palace of Versailles and the birds’ nest pictures. And the library picture.

Hong Konk sunset – a cool Flash toy. (via Bifurcated Rivets)

Heh – funny fake “vintage” ad (for fans of the TV series House)

Zapping mosquitos – This is a serious article but the headline made me laugh. My first thought was that it is possible for something to be both geeky and redneck at the same time. (via Dark Matter)

Victorian Flea Circuses – Fascinating

Modified paintings – Some are obvious; in others you have to look closely to see the modification. I like those more subtle ones better.

The Will Rogers Phenomenon – Interesting.
