Best of the Web This Week

by Switched Staff on November 30, 2008 at 05:23 PM

It was a short week, because in the middle we all shut our laptops and went home to stuff ourselves and take naps. But before that happened, some real craziness went down.

  • The LIFE Magazine picture archives opened, giving the world access to a century's worth of iconic images. We found one that spoke to us -- a woman in an orb.
  • Horses became the new cats. Midget ponies demanded to be named, while other horses were paid tribute with Avril Levine songs. Yeah, it got pretty weird.
  • Soap Lake, Washington planned to build a 60-foot-tall lava-lamp in the town square, and we made plans to travel there, light some incense and stare at it for hours.

  • We stumbled onto the grandaddy of all generators. It told Jake he was "blithely nuanced and feeling bad about waffles." Couldn't have said it better myself.
  • Winter arrived like the frigid b*tch from Narnia, so we found some cool ice sculptures.
  • Finally, we franchised our obsession with burgers. This time they were all edible.
