I'm a Threadless user, too, and personally I like seeing some of the 'best of the best' without having to wade through oodles of lackluster designs ... can't say I agree with -all- of your picks but there are a lot of really neat ones out there (I -want- that 'Paper Cranes' origami one!)

Wow, I love those. We've got cicadas around here atm and they sound exactly like those scissor grinder ones, actually I came across a pair on the ground earlier this evening and they scared the bejeebus out of me with the sounds they made - I hadn't realized they were there and man, are those suckers LOUD! But somehow so very soothing, I wish that site played those recordings on a continuous loop as they'd be lovely to go to sleep to ...

(heh, and my cat can apparently vouch for the authenticity of those recordings, he never pays any mind to my computer but just now as I was playing those clips he came over -mightily- intrigued by the exciting insect noises ...)

Agreed, this seems like an interesting idea that sadly just won't help many folks much - and besides, if awkward cutlery is really going to help someone lose weight, couldn't they just pick up a plastic spork from a fast food restaurant and eat with -that- instead? Perhaps it might not be any more successful but at least you wouldn't be out $8.95 that way ...

That is so deeply glorious - please, please, PLEASE let them have giant costumed potato mascots ambling around the park, getting one's picture taken with a giant smiling potato would make a trip to Croatia all worthwhile ...

And for a little bit of semi-relevant trivia, did you know there's a town right outside Orlando Fl whose name is an Indian word for 'the big potato'? Here's hoping that Potatoland America one day makes its mark in Apopka, Florida!

Bah, I'm 52% bionic ... got a 100% on that 'hearing' test but flubbed the blasted "running" test utterly! Still that was rather fun, huzzah for my inadequately organic components =P

And anybody who introduces themselves by relating what books and comics they've read recently seems pretty danged good to me (actually I'm currently trying to get into Chia Mellville's Perdito Street Station myself, I get the feeling I -will- enjoy it if I manage to get through the first chapter ...) anyway, hello! =)

I think it's pretty darned self-flattering to assume these folks do what they do to "get our attention," why on earth should they care about our notice one way or the other? As Tori and others have pointed out, going quite -that- far seems far more likely to be due to just flat-out loving it - if attention was all they were after there are far cheaper, easier, and less painful ways of getting it ...

On a totally different note, of all the documentaries and articles I've ever seen on folks like this, the one thing that's always struck me as very oddest is how that Cat fellow is often wearing a tiger t-shirt in those documentaries ... no idea why but that makes me giggle - "Boy, it's a lucky thing that guy with the black & orange stripes and the whiskers and pointed teeth and claws and bifurcated lip had that tiger t-shirt on or I -never- would've picked up on the theme he was going for ... "

As instructables go, this one was a bit on the pointless side - the written directions, at least, seem to amount to "Roll up your frying pan by - eh - rolling up your frying pan." I was expecting there'd be some sort of trick to it ... ah well. Nevertheless, it gets full marks for its "interesting quotient," I think I could have lived my whole life without it ever once occurring to me that I might want to roll up a frying pan ... neat!

Hmm, I think I'm skeptical about this one, too - not to be one of those nitpicky types, but I'm fairly certain that tarantulas don't actually spin webs ... Nevertheless it does make for interesting Sunday morning reading =)

A tattoo artist IN Chicago that messes up "Chi-town"? Egads.

You know, I lived in Chicago for a while and even though I'm not "into the tattoo scene" in any major way, even -I- had heard - from multiple people - to stay the heck away from Jade Dragon if I wanted any work done ... guess there was reason for that after all!

As for all the anti-tattoo sentiment ... pfft, it's kind of interesting how other people feel their opinion ought to matter when it comes to body mods done to a body -other- than their own ... What ever happened to "to each their own"? Must be nice to be so free of problems of your own that you can spend energy fretting over someone else's decorations ...

Their Billy Bookcases rock! For all the mumbling about their stuff being short-lived and disposable I must say, I've had my four Billy Bookcases for about seven years now - all burdened with a VERY full load of books - and despite all sorts of moves and rough handling they're still holding up great. I only wish I had room in my apt for more!

That hostel sounds oddly neat, too - free take-homes and tasty Ikea food! Hot diggedy. The one thing I have yet to see anything about, though, is how people go about reserving one of these rooms - they get 900,000 visitors during the summer alone and there are only 30 beds in this hostel? Do they have a waiting list or something? If they do I'd imagine it's probably already booked solid through the end of decade ...

A-MEN, Atomic. Color me fussy and germophobic but gawd, flip flops strike me as utterly gross. Gnarly ol' feet just a-flappin' around for one and all to behold, nothing but a wafer-thin layer of cheap, bacteria-ridden foam between them and the rest of humanity ... yeah, I know there are sandals that are no better but for some reason flip-flops just squick the heck out of me. Send them back to the showers and beaches where they belong and the world will be a far more pleasant (and, apparently, rash-free) place! Yeah!
