MetaFilter — Adding images to words makes things easier to remember. The 14 defining characteristics of Fascism as a flash movie. I know, I know, it's been discussed quite a few times at MeFi, but I only post this as Thursday fun. Only. Really. Fun.

Boing Boing — Mark Frauenfelder: For the last couple of months, I've been listening to a terrific new radio program, called The Theory of Everything, produced and hosted by Benjamen Walker. It plays every week on selected radio stations, but Benjamen has thoughtfully provided a complete archive of the shows in MP3 format on his site. Some of the programs have been about the CIA funding the absract expressionist movement, hopeless infatuation, people who obsess over becoming a celebrity, and a skinhead funeral.

If The Theory of Everything sounds similar to another one of my favorite radio programs, This American Life, well, it is -- but it's a little quirkier and appeals to my interests even more, and I really like the sound of Benjamen's voice. Load up your MP3 player and enjoy. Link

Urinal.net is, as you might expect, "the best place to piss away your time on the Internet." It is also (and I'm guessing here), the most authoratative urinal directory on the Web. Don't miss their top ten list (my favourites are these badboys from Hong Kong).

The site came to my attention via Bankrupt Artist:

Someone just commented on an earlier entry I had made regarding a certain company that believed that pictures of their bathroom facilities could violate some sort of trademark or copyright that they hold on ceramic fixtures. I did a search, and unfortunately, Google doesn’t return much on the first page when you search for “Marco Beach Ocean Resort” to imply that it’s run by litigious idiots.

Yes, the Marco Beach Ocean Resort actually sent a cease and desist letter to Urinal.net. Have they nothing better to do with their time? Because Urinal.net can no longer actually mention the resort in question, I'm happy to do so. Even better, I'll link their name to this artist's impression of the resort urinal: Marco Beach Ocean Resort . I look forward to my very own cease and desist letter. I wonder if it will be applicable in Canada?
