Thursday just busted through the wall just like the Kool-Aid man. Oh yeah. Who wants to drink the Kool-Aid? The Kool-Aid of offsite links that we have lovingly curated for you.
Highlights include:
1.) Real, unconfirmed aliens, might be actually the result of even realer pixels blurring together!
2.) Ridley Scott will destroy your DVD player if you ever watch a movie on a small screen again.
3.) Book sculptures are nifty.
