Never Underestimate the Power of Pink Windmills

Whenever the doorbell rings or someone knocks, I still get a strange urge to process around the flat going "there's somebody at the door!" repeatedly (thankfully, I normally manage to avoid actually doing so).

Rod Hull has a lot to answer for....

For those of you who don't remember/missed it/mercifully escaped it's clutches (it happens about halfway through this clip):

World Equality In Lego

Forget wealth, food, etc. What the world really needs is equality in terms of lego.

That's 62 blocks each according to the Guardian (via vittorio at legos).

And, no, your not allowed to just horde the red ones.

There really should be some sort of "62 block challenge" to see what the most interesting thing you could make with exactly 62 blocks is...

Make Your Own Morph!

This has to be the coolest thing I've seen all day:

Victorian Seance Reconstructed with Automata and Weird Music

This sounds cool also:

Sarah and Jenny Angliss (Spacedog UK) join psychologist and Quirkology author Richard Wiseman for one of the strangest shows on the Fringe. The sisters use the haunting sounds of the female voice, bells, vintage synth and theremin to coax out any resident ghosts of Brighton’s venerable Marlborough Theatre. And when their death ballads and eerie electronica have chilled the audience to the bone, the theatre will fall into complete darkness, as Wiseman invites the audience to participate in a theatrical reconstruction of a Victorian séance.

The live performers are accompanied by some unsettling home-spun automata (created by Sarah), including a robotic bell rig and Uncanny Valerie, a moving, ‘all-seeing’ 1950s doll. The music is a shameless mix of the outfit’s favourite Weill and Brel ballads, songs from British cult classic The Wickerman, some of the band’s own numbers and electronic interpretations of 13th-century tales of necromancers.

Thinking about the 9.40 showing on 8th May.
