Quick hits.

You run 26 miles, beat the entire rest of the field competing, then right at the finish line...

Ten things you didn't know about Kim Jong Il.

Jewish holidays for hipsters.

Perhaps not the toughest football player out there.

Palm Beach Post police blotter: "A man knocked on a door in the 900 block of Dogwood Drive and told the homeowner that he was gorgeous and did not talk to ugly people. The man, who was a stranger to the homeowner, then got in his car and left."

National Geographic's Best Wildlife Photos of 2006.

Pretty cool optical trick.

Robotic chair falls apart and re-assembles itself, then questions the point of it all.

Mmmmmm, boiled duck fetus.

11th thing you didn't know about Kim Jong Il; he scored 11 holes-in-one during his first ever game of golf.

His name stood alone atop the Dear Leaderboard.

I love it when the propagandist goes the extra mile to make you laugh.

Apo, this is completely off-topic but:

Do you still have a link to those Google search engine mirrors from a few months ago? The ones where you could click on a persons ID number and view their google searches for the last few months? My googling skills are weak.

Was anyone else disappointed that only the chair seat moves? The back and legs just lie there the whole time until the seat finds them and clicks them back onto itself.

I mean, how are the legs and back ever going to learn any responsibility unless they're given some buy-in to the whole chair reconstruction project?

It looks like that runner slipped on the big sign on the ground right before the finish line. Maybe those signs aren't such a great idea.

I'm pretty sure they're not going to let Slip-N-Slide sponsor the race next year.
