Here are my links for the week:

• New life goal: ride down a river in a giant pumpkin
• Banking trip gone wrong: "The man . . . picked up a blank withdrawal slip from a kiosk, filled it out and went to the counter, where he handed the slip to the teller.  What he didn’t realize was that someone — possibly a practical joker — had scribbled, “This is a stickup,” on the back of the withdrawal slip he picked up.  The teller, who has been the victim of two bank robberies, decided not to take any chances and activated the holdup alarm, then stalled the man."
• "Doctors used a case of vodka to help save an Italian tourist being treated for poisoning in a Queensland hospital."
• Ever see something where you're like, "That was kind of cool, but soooo not worth hundreds of hours of practice?"  Yeah.
• Amazing '80s PSAs starring Jem.
• All the different shoe-lacing methods you will ever, ever need--ever.
• The 10 Rarest Animals in the World.  Love me some Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat.

Also, I'm moving on Monday, and I highly doubt I will have Internet access for the first few days in my new place.  However, in keeping with the spirit of Industrious October, I will find a way to post.  I will also try to think of more interesting things to write about than "Things I Found Under the Seat of My U-Haul" or "Why Do Cardboard Boxes Smell Like That: An Investigation," but I'm not making any guarantees.  Moving SUCKS.
