Picspam, busy week edition

[sigma7]

The good news about busy weeks is that they tend to pass relatively quickly. The bad news is that it's less time that gets spent in the collection of precious, precious picspam. Sorry. Let's all hope life gets good 'n' boring here any second now.

Note: de-hotlinked.

I was gonna go with the big toy battleship, but the winner this time has to be the list of relative apocalyptic happenings. This is a triumph for my people, the ones who cannot stop themselves from saying, "Well, it COULD be worse...."

Global disaster but planet not actually destroyed? SEE? Could be worse!

I love the apocalypse scale. I may need to pass out photocopies of that at the next staff meeting as a frame of reference for when we roll out Vista.

My favorite part of the battleship? It's Lego, to minifigure scale. It's the most fantastic single Lego construct I've ever seen, even moreso than the Lego World Trade Center, even with its ironic fate.

Not Enuf Brocollis!

The birds are universally adorable. But I think that the gameboy kitty is the winner of this one....

That really is one of the least flattering photographs of a human being ever, isn't it? (But her broccolis pic is made of win.)

I wanted a real MacGuyver Paperclip Multitool when I was a kid, but we weren't rich, so I had to settle for the cheap dollar store ripoff. :(

The Apocalypse Scale is cool, but if you're interested in the subject, you should check out How to destroy the Earth. It provides a perspective on apocalypse ambitious enough to render the survival or extinction of humanity irrelevant.

Buried somewhere in there is a calculation of the gravitational binding energy of the Earth (the minimum energy required to blow up the planet hard enough to keep the pieces from falling back together). It works out to be nearly the total energy output of the sun for a week.
