Grab bag of links

1. Stephen Fry Kinetic Typography - Language (6-minute video) -- for all those language / grammar mavens out there (and I admit, I've sometimes fallen into that category), this is a lovely video that will make you pause.

2. Still more on the map of non-monogamy (image) -- while I'm happily monogamous, and that doesn't look like it's gonna change any time soon, this is nonetheless a highly impressive diagram.

3. The greasiest sandwich ever (2-minute video) -- the Double Down has nothing on this. The fact that it's made by Quebecers is just proverbial (or perhaps non-proverbial) gravy on the sandwich.

4. The Burger Lab: Revisiting the Myth of The 12-Year Old McDonald's Burger That Just Won't Rot -- speaking of sandwiches, is it true that a McDonalds hamburger will never rot? And if so, why? Surprising results behind this link.

5. Game of Thrones: Exclusive first look (pictures) -- as a huge Game of Thrones fan, I'm super-excited for the HBO series starting in 2011. This link presents some pictures from filming, and if anything heightens my excitement.

6. The Israelification of airports: high security, little bother -- what with the whole TSA brouhaha going on, I present an interesting article on how Israelis handle security at their airports. Hint: it's nothing like how the U.S. does it.

7. Grandma's superhero therapy (pictures) -- a grandma as a superhero! Awesome, inspiring, and fun! Definitely worth a few minutes to browse.
