I picked up a Doors CD for myself a few days ago. Then I happened upon the following video at the economics blog Newmark's Door. It's a holiday song medley, as if sung by the Doors.

This one's a keeper- it's a comic called The Superest. There are two cartoonists. Cartoonist 1 draws a character with a power. Cartoonist 2 draws someone that can defeat 1's entry. They keep going, each new character defeating the first one.

For the full effect, start with the first entry.

Here's a great audio recording of a new tall tale- "Paul Bunyan and the Photocopier". Found via Boing-Boing.

This clever bit is credited to a Livejournal user called Rysmiel:

There was an old man
From Peru, whose lim'ricks all
Look'd like haiku. He

Said with a laugh "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."

Damn, that's clever. I was pointed to it by the Steven Brust's site; he's one of my favorite authors. If you want to read something scary and clever, look for a book called Agyar, but for heaven's sake don't read the reviews and the back cover, because they betray the book's secret.
