• Vintage bicycle and velocipede erotica. Don't get that caught in the chain, ladies!

• This is a lot cooler than it sounds: a photo gallery the world's most beautiful stairways.

• They Might Be Giants were onto something: a robot parade to descend on New York City.

• A collection of stills from Louise Brooks' Pandora's Box. I'm fond of Louise's smug, trampy smirk in this one: it's just so different from her usual immaculate look.

• Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey: The Musical! Odyssey!

• For your own Shining themed Christmas party, The Worldwide Labyrinth Locator.

• All across London, a series of strange scrawlings are mystifying Flickr users: "The Alphabet of Brooke Shields." No one has any idea what it means.

• Favorite quisling blog of the moments: Suicide Food, or animals that want to be eaten.

• On the new Tootsie Roll Pop commercials: "What does this new version offer that the original didn’t? Less charm? Check. Uglier character designs? Check. Blander animation? Check. Fussy over-detailed backgrounds that overwhelm the characters? Check."
