After our travels, Yummy is proposing that airlines charge for carry-on luggage instead of checked luggage. Everyone would get on and off the plane a lot faster if we didn't spend so much time shoving bags over our heads and then digging them back out.
This article and interactive picture talks about another proposal. [link]
A series of minute long videos about who has the worst job, moms or people with jobs. [link]
I thought I'd posted this, but apparently not. It's an article talking about how a person's use of pronouns can help judge how honest they're being and other odd discoveries. [link]
"Escape From City 17 - part 2" a Half-Life 2 fan film. It's expanded significantly from part 1.
There's a Deadman TV series in the works. It's just a guess, but I'm guessing it'll fall under the roaming do-gooder model. You know, where each episode the lead character is in a different place helping people. Think A-Team, Incredible Hulk, Quantum Leap, and the like. I can't picture how else a Deadman series would work. [link]

A history of marketing by, and challenges to, DeBeers. Later in the article it talks about the price difference between buying and selling a diamond. I'm surprised they don't mention the manufactured diamond market. Any diamonds I eventually buy will come from some lab. [link]

Space Jam? Really?
For every 50 art websites I let pass I find one I have to share. This one is full of paintings of an over the hill superhero. [link]

My favorite of the ones I see on the main page. [link]
Former Playboy and Baywatch model training to climb Mount Ararat in search of Noah's Ark. [link]
Donna, Ararat is a mountain range, not a single mountain. It's in a part of the world lousy with religious folk. Religious folk and wars. If it managed to survive 5000+ years of rot and crushing glaciers it would probably have been either found or blown up by now. But, I applaud you for taking up a hobby like mountain climbing instead of standing around here being pretty.
5 major marketing disasters. [link]
How do you know that what you see as red is what others see as red? Could you really be seeing what they call pink, purple, or orange? Here's how someone tested how people see color.
The conclusions the narrator makes don't seem correct to me.
