Thank you for the Viking Sunstone link. It's nice to read about useful polarization for a change.
I've been waiting for the release (came at 1900UTC today) of the New 7 Wonders of Nature as determined by internet vote.
Here are the winners – the new 7 wonders of nature:
Amazon Basin
Halong Bay, Asis
Iguazu Falls, Africa
Jeju Island, Asia
Komodo, Indonesia
Puerto Princesa Underground River, Phillipines
Table Mountain, Africa
Nothing, though, from North America which disappointed me since I voted for the Bay of Fundy

Aw Lawd! I been watching Badlipreading.com and I liked to break something and poop myself laughing watching the first one with Herman Cain! Why file this under Geek? Because I remember in the '80s there was a show on Nickalodian called Mad Movies by the LA Connection that did the same thing with movies. They also remade The Blob with Steve McQueen into Blobbermouth. Mystery Science Threater 3000 was only a half turn on this genre. Its good to see proud traditions like this continuing.
All of the above may had already been mentioned earlier, but I didn't have an internet machine at the time so I don't know. But it been on my mind.
