| Recyclotron |
 by Fëanor |
(Meta Note: Trying out a new recurring feature here. It'll look familiar to those of you who followed my work on Phillyist. Let me know what you think of the name and the format. Thanks!)
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- I embedded that video above because I didn't think you'd believe what I'm about to tell you otherwise. Even after watching it, I'm not sure I believe it. But apparently KFC has a new product called the Double Down Sandwich which has two pieces of fried chicken as the "bun," and bacon and cheese as the contents. Now I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it, but... damn. That just might be going a step too far.
- Cast announcements for the HBO TV pilot of Game of Thrones are always exciting to me, given my great love of the books, but seeing as how I'd never heard of a lot of the folks mentioned in the most recent announcement, this illustrated list of the actors and their roles is very handy. So far all the casting seems to be spot on! Man, I hope this thing turns out good. (Via)
- A cute illustration depicting each of our solar system's planets as weird little people. (Via)
- Garth Vader! 'Nuff said. (Via)
- A couple of brilliant parodies of comic book covers involving Superman and Lois Lane. (Via, via)
- "The Adventures of Lord Mario" is hilarious and shockingly violent. (Via)
- Wired Science answers a question I bet you didn't even think to ask: what are the strangest things that have ever been pulled out of peat bogs?
- One of my favorite video games ever is Diablo 2, so I'm more than a little excited about the upcoming sequel, Diablo 3. And what with BlizzCon going on right now, some pretty exciting stuff about the D3 is showing up online. The new Monk character class was just announced, and Joystiq has a video of the Monk in action, plus a bunch more screenshots. The Monk looks bad-ass, and this game looks beautiful - and crazy. I was assuming I'd be playing D3 on my PC, but Blizzard is saying consoles haven't been ruled out as potential platforms for the game.
- Wow. Today's Pulp of the Day is pretty much a parody of itself.
- A chain mail chess set. Wicked.
