This is the dream we had last night. We’re glad it’s Tuesday now. Please look at these offsite links while we dial our therapist’s home phone.
Highlights include:
- A comic on why Game of Thrones forces you to pirate it just to watch it.
- Photographs of superheroes in their day jobs.
- Virgin and Playboy want you to have sex in space and don’t understand why you’re giggling. Stop that.
Every day Stubby the Rocket jets around the internet looking for links of interest. When Stubby finds these links, they get put in our handy Links of Interest section and sometimes on our Twitter and Facebook! Today’s selection is so big we had to split it up into categories:
