Chinese Dim Sum is awesome. Don't miss the Xiaolongbao - there's soup in there! I suppose, not having seen the process of making these, I'm amazed. At least, the effect is cool.

Chicken feet are also eaten in the Philippines, commonly sold by street vendors and 3rd(?)-class restaurants. It's no big deal and seems like a waste of money: all floppy skin and not very flavorful. It gets worse: they also sell cubes of cooked blood (probably chickens') and intestines on a stick. Vendors often have an open jar of vinegar for you to dip them in. It's communal. Bad for you in a CDC way.

"There was, needless to say, no sign of the bat when the Discovery docked at the International Space Station." (original post)

As U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard would say, "If he's dead, then where is the body?"

Answer: He's not dead! He lives... as... Space Bat! watching over us all...

Related/unrelated: Does anyone remember the original Jawa Sandcrawler? I remember playing with one of those with a friend when we were in primary school. I remember the disappointment upon finding that it was made of CARDBOARD, and the relief that I had no reason (any longer) to covet such. Is my memory correct: cardboard?

@GeneAriani. The mirror shown at the site that you link to appears to be a right-angle "pair" with the crease smoothed out. Go to the "to order" page to see other samples. Andrew Hicks' mirror is not a right-angle mirror.

This is truly a neato post.

I like #2 for practical reasons: widescreen driver's-side mirror! I'm always nervous about missing drivers in my blind spot(s), ever since a high-school fender-bender. This should be standard equipment in all cars.

Serenity fight rehearsal: Even with the safety gear and harnesses visible, that stunt lady is many times more convincing than Glau. If I never see Glau in a movie again, that'd be fine by me. That stunt lady, however, I'd like to see more of.

Seriously, anyone who needs (!) to get healthier could get paid to do this kind of work. (1) It's a motivator. (2) It would use otherwise wasted energy being produced on all the cycles, treadmills, ellipticals, etc. at all the gyms. We'd kill two birds with one stone: energy conservation and health promotion.

While we're at it, this fits in with my model for a bicycle society. (1) Comfortable velomobiles (heat or A/C, sealed cabin). (2) Motivated individuals (and those who need to get healthy, with suitable motivation) to pedal for those who cannot pedal for themselves. Same benefits as above.
