Mighty O - vegan, organic donuts — kza
-
Vegan donuts? Sounds awful, doesn’t it? Well, in the case of Mighty O, you’d be dead wrong. These are incredibly moist and delicious, and compared to most donuts, relatively healthy (no trans fat!) They’re also absolutely gorgeous — the pictures on the website aint lyin. Cool off-the-wall flavors as well: French Toast, Mocha, and Chocolate Peppermint, to name a few.

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Whale lifted onto barge — Martin
-
I find this whole Whale-On-Thames thing fascinating and strange—one of those odd stories that would be a perfect metaphor or base of a fantastical story. Now replete with tragic ending.

The Stranger - Slog — Martin
-
The Slog is one of our favorite blogs, run by the Stranger, one of my favorite papers, edited by Dan Savage, one of my favorite Americans. Here, Brenden Kiley has this great quote: “If an art form is more predictable than a mechanical bull, it’s in bad trouble.”

Neave.com -- PHP script that displays the last 30 photos uploaded to Live Journal — Martin
-
I love this page for inspiration. It’s a random collection of images — strange, unpredictable, some hilarious, some inept, some dirty. It’s like a peek into the collective unconscious. Be sure to reload often.

Logical Fallacies - The Adam Smith Institute — Martin
-
I have always found logical fallacies fascinating — and incredibly useful when constructing characters. Make two (or more) characters argue, and give them both a different logical fallacy to follow. The argument practically writes itself!

-
How does a mildly funny obscure BBC skit become incredibly popular in Germany without being known in Britain or America? Interesting story in Slate, with a link to the piece in question on Google Video. The same procedure as every year, James…
