[Using lies to engage students](http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/02/my-favorite-lia.html) I think this is a good idea. But maybe I’m lying…

[The comic Garfield with everyone but the character Jon deleted](http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/) It’s incredible, really. It totally transforms the comic, but it still works.

[A dark comedy about a man who decides that in order to stop his wife suffering when he leaves her, she has to die](http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/marriedlife/trailer/). Looks beautifully acted, should be quite good.

[What happens if you put a Gummi Bear into molten potassium chlorate](http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/02/gummi_bear_goes_ballistic.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890). Hannibal Lecter would be proud.

[Forbes’ guide to the most sinful cities, arranged by sin](http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2008/02/14/cities-sinful-lander-forbeslife-cx_lm_0213sinful_land.html#map). Congratulations Denver on being chosen #1 for Lust.

[The trailer for Wall-E set to the soundtrack for the trailer to The Terminator](http://io9.com/360974/wall+e+nator-mashup-proves-cuteness-may-destroy-the-future). Not a perfect fit, but given there’s no apparent editing it’s quite uncanny how well it all fits.

Up to this point, I’ve written a little over 56,600 words in this blog. That’s a little over the minimum length of a novel.

[The directors of the Matrix go very strange in this film based on a cartoon](http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/speedracer/trailer1a/). The style of this looks superb. I think it’ll be a huge flop, but incredibly enjoyable at the same time.

[Try installing this floating chair](http://gizmodo.com/346269/hoverit-lounger-relaxation-through-levitation). I’d love to know what this feels like to sit on – it’s hard to imagine what it would be like. I also wonder what kind of magnets you’d need to have in order to sell this safely in America.

[A spice gun](http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/the-spice-gun-asks-do-you-feel-hungry-punk/). This would definitely make cooking more fun!
