Literally Unbelievable
The Beijing Daily News got taken by Washington's plans for a retractable-dome capitol in 2002
The Onion has a history of gullible netizens believing that their satirical stories are real. A history that appears to be approaching internet meme status. The Web 2. uh-oh has now spawned a new Tumblr blog filled with screenshots of Facebook users taking articles from The Onion seriously.
Abbey Road Crossing(s)
The US release airbrushed out Paul's cigarette
Abbey Road (Studios) has a webcam, you normally don’t have to wait long to see someone taking a version of the photo above. Issued in September 1969, Abbey Road was the final Beatles album to be recorded; and for the only time on a Beatles album, the front cover contained neither the group’s name nor the album title, just that iconic photograph taken on the zebra crossing near the entrance to the studios in London NW8 in August 1969.
Save Your Soulless Pets This Saturday
Don't forget Fido's Eternal Earth-Bound Pets Tee
Judgment Day is pencilled in for 6:00 p.m. (in each successive time zone) on May 21. The virtuous Christians among you had better make provisions so that your unraptured pets aren’t left staring at an empty bowl. But there are other creatures that will be left behind, non-believers who will care for your pets. After The Rapture Pet Care features a one-time $10 fee to ensure that your beloved pet remains comfy during Armageddon. If you’re unconvinced that their Volunteer Pet Caretakers (and Google’s servers) are entirely rapture-proof, then consider a Eternal Earth-Bound Pets. The $135 fee includes the assurance that their representatives “have blasphemed in accordance with Mark 3:29, negating any chance of salvation.” If you’re planning on being left behind yourself and want some new pets, join the 232,000+ Facebookers attending the Post rapture looting or place your own Craiglist ad.

National Jukebox
Nearly 200 Enrico Caruso recordings

Let Them Eat Cake
"Oh Dear, that will never do, will it?"
The Royals may have restricted wedding videos from satirical use, and preemptively arrested subjects planning street theatre protests; but they evidently missed Antifuzz’s flash game Let Them Eat Cake.

Picture Dots
And who knew there were so many connect the dot tattoo photos on the net?
This puzzle maker transforms your browser window into a tool for creating connect the dot puzzles. You can upload a photo as a background image that you can then click over to make the puzzle. I’m told it may not work for Apple users so for them I’ve included information about an Einstein Pedometer app so they can compute their relativistic time gains when moving (I know you all have iPhones too).
RR: Are you playing Monopoly on the iPad?
CF: Yep and I’m playing the Italian way. Making all my money in jail.
