Mama Kills Animals
The folks at PETA want to make you feel guilty about thanksgiving turkey with this parody of the "Cooking Mama" games. It's a little bit gross (and it's PETA), so be careful out there.

The Future Leaders of America
We snuck out into the middle of Broad Street to snap a pic in front of City Hall and all the crowds. When Will raised his hands for the picture, cheers erupted. So he continued to repeat the gesture, getting wild response from the crowd on both sides of the street up and down the street as far as we could see.

Schiff Happens
Peter Schiff was the proverbial Chicken Little for the last 3 years, predicting the financial crisis again and again and again on shows like Fox, CNN, and others. This is a pretty amazing series of dialogue (2005-2007) between he and a large number of the biggest financial advisers out there (including Ben Stein) where he is laughed at, ridiculed, and made to look like an idiot on various shows.
What's really amazing is that when no one else seemed to be concerned with the market trends, this guy was predicting and detailing the entire financial fallout with uncanny precision.

Thaumoctopus Prime - More Than Meets the Eye
The Indonesian Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) was discovered in 1998 off the coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia and is the first known species to take on the characteristics of multiple species. This octopus is able to copy the physical likeness and movement of more than fifteen different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp. This animal is so intelligent that it is able to discern which dangerous sea creature to impersonate that will present the greatest threat to its current possible predator. For example, scientists observed that when the octopus was attacked by territorial damselfishes, it mimicked the banded sea snake, a known predator of damselfishes.

iBlow Me
Until this week, tapping and shaking accounted for the whole of the questionable "iPhone as an instrument" experience. Now it's gone too far. The SMule Ocarina app recognizes the roar of you blowing into the iPhone's mic and converts it to the moderately mellifluous sounds of a digital Ocarina. It comes with presets, exhibited here on video. The above preset: Zelda's Overland Theme. Below: Robert Plant's and Jimmy Page's Greatest Indignity.
