Links and Video of the Week (2012/12)
- THIS is why we invest in science. This.
- Great photos about World Water Day
- Apart from liking the more rock/metal-ish side of Gothic music, I’m not that much involved with the style and stuff that goes with it myself – however, these dance instructions are nice: (via Everyday is Halloween)

Exaggerating
It’s no news that warnings are often exaggerated especially in the USA – but these three together in one block on one article page on Amazon.com?
Of course you could turn to logic and argue that a toy that is a small ball also contains a small ball (as only content), and a small ball is a small part, too. Unfortunately, this isn’t for a ball at all, but for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” Lego set 4192 Fountain of Youth which, while containing small parts, doesn’t contain a ball at all – unlike some other sets…
(On some other sets, there’s just the “small parts” line, on this one fittingly also the ball, on others, however, all three again.)

Grocery Lubricants
What’s more surprising – Amazon.com apparently offering personal lubricants in the grocery department, or believing someone looking around there might be interested in (multi-packs of) lubricants? I mean, sure, there are, erm, suitably shaped groceries1, but … … …
Admittedly, the top category is “Grocery, Health and Beauty” and the subcategory “Health & Personal Care”, yet it’s an interesting combination Amazon might want to correct a bit. 
(Why they’re offering this to me? Must be due to some Amazon joke with “customers who bought this also bought that”. Believe it or not…)
- reportedly not really suitable for that use, though, so don’t try this at home… [↩]
