Gareth: A contraption that monitors a counter strike server and bleeds every time a player dies. Kinda creepy.

Marcus: The Punishment Chair has nothing to do with S&M (at least, not this Punishment Chair). Instead it's "a chair which progressively collapses as the user’s home energy use becomes excessive". Too much energy consumption = no chance of sitting down. It's art, baby. (via)

Marcus: Selfkiss: photos of people snogging themselves thanks to some clever Photoshop trickery. Freaky but strangely compelling. (Click on the first photo to get into the gallery, then click the tiny arrows on the bottom right to advance.) (via)

Marcus: What I can't figure out is where J, O and W got to, given the artful arrangement of some letters (nobody defecates a natural "d"). Did the artist run out of time? Is there some deeper meaning to the omission of these letters? Enquiring minds need to know.

Marcus: Save the Girls is an awesome online museum of WW II-era "nose art" - fruity paintings of scantily-clad ladies on the front of bombers.

Marcus: Sex-themed and rather offputting salt and pepper shakers: one and two. Buy them for a mere $800 (bottom of this page). All of the above NSFW.

Marcus: Bridge is an installation that takes the form of a flooded church with stepping stones that magically rise up in front of the participant (and disappear behind them). (indirectly, via)

Justin: Stephen Wiltshire: Prodigious Drawing Ability and Visual Memory - Steven Wiltshire has autism though he is one of the most accomplished artists in the UK - known as a savant. From a single helicopter ride when he was 12 he drew a completely accurate panorama of London. Wisconsin Medical Journal. You Tube video of him in action.

Justin: I was using our marevellous Random Link button and I stumbled upon a post by Tim about his dad's delightfully magnificent obsession, painting all the bridges over the Thames - but then I hit upon this picture - of the Thames Barrier.
My dad (with his charmingly bellowing North american voice) told me "it's all a bunch of liberal commie crap, the goddamned thing isn't large enough to withstand the goddamned flood that inspired the damn thing in the first f*cking place" (or something like that). I invite you to notice how Tim's dad has also included that message, in a somewhat more subtle way. Can you see the evil skull face the left of the image? spooky.

Marcus: Have you tried syncing it up to Dark Side of the Moon and playing it backwards? It's, like, mind-blowing.
tim: yeah he said that technically you caould put all the barriers up and clamber across without getting your feet wet so it could count as a bridge. We don't talk about the skull...

Marcus: The live video webcam is pretty cool. When I checked it (1:30am GMT) there were what appeared to be fireflies zipping about in front of the camera leaving light trails.

Marcus: Willard Wigan is a British sculptor who makes impossibly small works of art placed inside the eye of a needle, on a grain of sugar and even on an eyelash.
