Fun links from Ed

Ed sent along another discussion of the hyperbolic plane and how it can be represented in crochet. I'm such a nerd, I find this interesting. I blogged about it previously.

Actually, Ed's been an excellent source of links lately. He sent me this video of a drunken fool yesterday - too too funny! OMG the thought of this guy behind the wheel is simply too much to take! How about this story, about a guy who pimps himself to be your carpool person in the morning? Pretty sweet way to make a buck, if you can.

Ed also found this link to a Depeche Mode story. A number of years ago, when we were first on our Bong mailing list (for Depeche Mode fans) there was a list member who was soliciting stories, artwork, poems, you name it about the different members of DM. In any case, she assembled them all into a big book she dubbed "The Bible of Depeche Mode" and presented them to each member of the band during the current tour (I think it was "The Singles Tour".) There was much debate and criticism on our list since this member was using other member's work to basically gain access to the band. There were questions whether or not the individual artists were given proper credit for their contributions to the Bible. In any case, they must have made an impression, because here it is 8 years later and Martin Gore still remembers the project. Pretty neat, in a creepy kind of way.
