Special weird links edition! I gave the politics a rest this weekend and roamed aimlessly through uncharted territory (for me). Here's some of the odd stuff I saw:

• Here's an interesting optical illusion. It somehow short-circuits your peripheral vision.
• Horrible, horrible dancing. Horrible, horrible singing. Neither should be missed.
• A very nifty Google game. It shows you 20 images and you have to guess the keyword that summoned them. Very slick.
• I linked to Magical Trevor last year. There's a sequel.
• A very elegant little game that will take up too much of your time: Gridlock.
• Art: Hey you, in the red truck, shave your mustache!
• Just in time for Episode 3 (though it's probably been around for ten years) -- ASCII Star Wars! You have to TELNET to towel.blinkenlights.nl. (And I'm not going to explain how to telnet...)
• Here's a clever and well-edited video of various women getting, erm... an intimate waxing. It's actually quite tasteful and safe for work. And it's funny too. (Bit of a long load though...)
• Ahhh, to be young and stupid again. You will either be horrified or wildly entertained by this clip, depending on your gender.
• This archive of Chinese propaganda posters is absolutely wonderful. I just love this stuff.
• And finally, Nintendo: acappella style.
