What game is this from (may be nsfw for language)?
Everybody else is doing it...
Some cabinetmaker had fun with this.
Wait for it...
Probably not the intent.
Golfers in India only have to worry about monkeys.

First, a treatise: The C Programming Language, by Brian W Kernighan & Dennis M Ritchie & HP Lovecraft.
And then, some music:
The well-loved classic: Carol of the Old Ones.
(It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like) Fishmen.
And, my musical favorite, Death to the World.

From The Economist:
Yes, they did a MATLAB simulation in demographics, for real.
Between 1974 and 1996, Bangladesh turned a district ... into a giant demographic experiment: some villages and households got family planning, others did not. According to one study of the results, fertility in the areas that received help declined by around 15% more than in those that did not. And over the two decades of the experiment, indicators of the well-being of women and their chidren--health, earnings, household assets and so on--were all higher in the villages that got the planning.The name of the district? Matlab.

Ganked from siderea, this one goes out to soul_diaspora and all the other geek girls in the audience, and to everyone who knew bwanageek!
Also, This one from Bobby McFerrin is a quite different music-geek connection, ganked frommetahacker.

A recent XKCD comic put soul_diaspora in mind of an incident at our first Scrabble tournament, and she posted a mention of it. Commenters expressed curiosity, so here you go.
In the first game of the tournament, I was matched with a very proper lady somewhere on the high side of 60 years old. She played first, and put down something like CARRY for 28 points.
My rack: EFILLOT
There is exactly one legal play worth 63 points here, so I made it. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure it out; you should have enough clues to make it reasonably easy. Okay, one more small hint, then: it uses all my letters and one of hers.
Not much conversation took place during the game...

Three videos, less than 5 minutes each:
If you haven't heard, Bill O'Reilly flipped out on his Inside Edition show (clip and commentary by Steven Colbert is available here). Well, now there's a techno mix of O'Reilly's little episode!
Next up, Adolf Hitler has discovered just how "popular" he is on teh interwebz.
And finally, here's a very well-executed trip-hop track and video built out of Disney's Alice in Wonderland fragments.

Yes, this is pretty typical of Finnish humor, from what I've seen.

Anyone know of a similar idea for physical sciences? (I.e., something that could come up with "Supersymmetry and n-chirality in Lego models of Carbon-14 intranuclear electroweak dynamic interactions.")
