Barnabas / July 14, 2014

Goodness from the Interwebs for 7/14

A handful of links that interested, amused or informed me from around the interwebs:
  • Legos have been entertaining kids for years. Legos have starred in movies. And now legos have managed to represent (stereotype) all 50 states. Did they get yours right?
  • Brits speak English. Americans speak English. Yet somehow we don’t speak the same language. This infographic shows how differently we use many words. Really, England? You call cupcakes “fairy cakes”?
  • There’s problem solving and then there’s problem solving. These 25 ingenious (idiotic?) solutions are the latter.
  • You hear the bassline to a song. You recognize it instantly. You start bobbing your head. Now you have 100 of the most recognizable baselines in one single super cut by one bassist.

  • Columbusing: claiming credit for discovering something someone else already discovered. It’s a white people special, but the tables get turned in this awesome video.
