This one's a little different from the normal "Cool Stuff" fare, but still, it's definitely worth a look. Here's a site with a TON of really cool fonts, many of which might bring back fond childhood memories:

The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

I could have told you lemurs hibernate. I do it all the time. At least, I did before I was a father. I don't think the article talks about that part.

What can 100 dollars buy you at home depot these days.
Assuming you own an air compressor already it can buy your foes 30 feet of flaming death or as the author of this little experiment in the science of death puts it the worlds most kick ass super soaker.
Crazy, yes of course it is.
Cool, well duh.
I want one of these for Christmas... and for homeland defense.
I think the state motto of New Hampshire is appropriate for this link as well as some stirring patriotic music Happy 4th of July pyros!

So I was reading the dictionary today (you know how it is--you look something up, and something else catches your eye) and the picture of a loris.

Weird-looking creatures. It's the one on the right. I don't know what the one on the left is, but it's kinda funny-looking, too.

Yeah, I realized that didn't work and was trying to find the way I'd done it before while you posted.
