Mystery Sale - July 2009 Update
Phew! After about two weeks of hard work, we've finally shipped out all Mystery Sale orders. If you haven't received yours yet, especially if you live outside of the United States, please don't worry - the goodies are on their way.

Though the Mystery Sale is over, you can still get geektastic Science T-Shirts, Funny T-Shirts, nifty Ice Trays and other fun stuff at the Neatorama Online Store. Thank you to everybody who participated!

Neatorama Software Upgrade
We're going to be doing a maintenance/upgrade soon on Neatorama - if everything goes well, you shouldn't notice anything. If not, then, well, pardon the hiccups!

Upcoming Queue
As I've posted before, the Top 5 Submitter (based on Front Paged submissions) to the Neatorama Upcoming Queue for the month of August will win very cool prizes. The top dog will win an iPod Nano, whereas the rest will get cool stuff from the Neatorama Online Store.

As of today, the field is wiiiide open:

It's actually not fake. I couldn't find it on snopes, but I found it elsewhere:

The tree is actually NOT eating the bicycle. It is simply growing around it.

If this is real, it was obviously set up a long, long time ago, and never touched since. Dubious, but not impossible.

Not a hoax, I've got a news clipping from the Oregonian (November 15, 1993) about the bike, with a pic of a man grasping the front wheel of the bike. The man, who lived in Vashon at the time, theorized that the bike had been there some 40 or 50 years.

I've been there - it is real, and very cool to boot. This isn't a hoax, staged or anything of the sort - just an example of what Nature will do if need be.
