Weekly Links: 100-Calorie Snack Pack Edition

Due to the current constraints of my schedule--constraints that had me running from room to room of a government building today collecting signatures and stamps from various officials like I was at some kind of bureaucracy-themed swap meet--my Internet-browsing time has waned of late.  This means that for at least the immediate, near-term future I will  be discontinuing my regular This Week In Internet recaps on Fridays and instead just posting links at random unscheduled intervals when I feel I've got enough to fill out a post.  Today will be the inaugural edition of this half-assed new format.

Los link-os:

  • How to catch a Netflix thief
  • Researchers now think they know what doomed the Titanic (other than the ginormo iceberg)
  • The 10 typographic mistakes everyone makes
  • 20 amazing weather phenomena
  • The BBC reports: "A Russian man trying to sleep off a night of after-work drinking failed to notice a six-inch (15-cm) knife in his back - until his wife woke him up." (Thanks, Tito J. W.)
  • Also from the BBC: "A man in New Zealand has been charged with using a hedgehog as a weapon, the New Zealand Herald has reported."
  • How to make an anatomically-correct brain cake

Enjoy.  If anyone needs me I'll be sleeping off a stab wound.

So, I clicked the "mistakes" hyperlink thinking I would immediately become obsessed with preserving typographical correctness. Instead, I was just outrageously horrified . . .

. . . and hugely ashamed of all my failings in the typographic arena.

I second Tori's thoughts, although I'm sure those apostrophes after "Tori" and "I" are incorrect. As well as those quotes. Crap, the more I type, the more trouble I get myself into...

Oh and that's probably not a proper ellipsis!
