Tuesday Tangent Around the 'Net

Here's a few of the more interesting / fun links I've come across lately. Enjoy...

First: I'm, like, going to talk about "like"


Next: "An anonymous artist transformed Russian Red Army soldiers from a monument in the city of Sofia, in Bulgaria, into popular superheroes and cartoon characters."


Taking centre stage is Superman with his distinctive red cape and blue suit. To the left is Santa Claus and to the right Ronald McDonald, the mascot of the fast-food giant McDonalds, and the Joker also makes an appearance.
Below the graffiti artist has sprayed "Moving with the times" in Bulgarian black paint.

And this - Somalia: Libertarian Paradise

(Hat Tip: Texas in Africa)

4th- Extreme Weather Photos - from The Boston Globe. "Weather" (see what I did there?) you blame global warming, the Obama-conomy, or the Rapture, you have to admit there has been a lot of crazy storms and natural disasters in the last year or so... (Hat Tip: From Poverty to Power)

Last but certainly not least - Better Book Titles - Just like it sounds... Here's a few of my favorites (and from books I've actually read!) -
The Handmaid's Tale
 The Great Gatsby
The Trial and Death of Socrates
 A People's History of the United States
You Shall Know Our Velocity!
