Around the Web: zombie warnings, a blacked-out Mars rover, and why you shouldn’t be afraid of buttons

Torie Atkinson

Construction sign warns of zombies - “This crime is a class C misdemeanor in Texas, and Hartley said it endangers the public.â€

Mars Spirit rover disoriented after glitch - When pressed, the Spirit rover admitted it couldn’t recall what it had done last night, and is afraid to see the photos.

Here’s the button - Neil Gaiman pontificates on the completely innocuous household item. I’ll confess, though, that I spent most of the video envying his gorgeous library...

Mikhail Maiofis Illustrations - I’m not entirely sure what these are, but they’re splendid. See also: Symphony of the Absurd.

War Haunted - WWII photos faded into modern ones. Eerie.

Whiskey power - “Recently the Rothes consortium of whisky and scotch distillers announced that they have partnered with Helius Enery to install a power plant fueled by none other than, well, whisky by-products!â€

Transformers toys - A peek at the new movie’s merchandising. Now I know at least one good thing will come of this film!

First weather report from exoplanet - HOT. No, really freaking HOT.

Those WWII photos merged with modern photos are simply astounding. Wow.
