I feel I'm overdue to drop a load of crazy fun here, so fortwith I present myriad delights collected over the last few months:- Hate the thought that the TSA searches your luggage? Take your chances with 4th Amendment luggage tape. Reasonable search *this*!
- Just a little late for Passover, enjoy the plague of frogs as rendered with Lego bricks.
(via Alas, a blog) - Really, you can never have too many Legos -- here are remarkable things made of Legos, from an iPod case to a working air-conditioner.
(via boing boing) - The Sneeze likes cookies, and looks at an assortment of macho cookie jars. Why, oh why?
- Speaking of galleries of the odd, here are mailboxes in forms you never thought you'd see. The spine is awesome...
(via kottke) - And here's a heap of premium geek watches, from the artsy to the techno-tastic.
(via boing boing) - Lots of artistic goodness in this gallery of oragami contest winners. I never cease to be amazed at what people can do with determined paper-folding...
(via boing boing) - Express your own inner artist with this make-your-own Simpsons character applet.
(via upyernoz) - Experience the zen of cartooning via Garfield comics with his dialogue taken out. Much better...
(via Philadelphia Will Do) - And finally, things you never knew you wanted to do: how to cook an egg between two cell phones.

Have you seen Ello's -- they're like Legos or Tinkertoys aimed at girls to keep them interested in building but with girly things, too, to appeal to them.
I dunno -- they look like they have too many specialized piece. I always disliked the sets that were designed to give one cool critter or airship at the expense of being easy to mix into random creations. here it's flowers and people instead of tankers, but the limits are still annoying. maybe I'd have to see a larger set.
also, is this catering to a range of tastes or helping to shape the aesthetic (and self-) sense of girls into culturally acceptable gendered norms? just askin'...
