And another classic preview. Especially for people like me who actually like, nay love, lists and indexes.
A surreal masterpiece in itself.
Could be read aloud. I like it in this skin. Where it says 'you are replying to this message', it spells out the smiley, so reads like this:
petunias admire the lynx
petunias caption the duck
petunias name the bird
petunias find out why the movie is so awful
petunias learn about the bear in the library
Can poetry get any better?

The h2g2 Post is up at A87925387 Come and see.
Willem has more cynodonts. They're cute. He also shares some of his sister's photos from the cosmonaut museum in Moscow. We've got world travellers here.
Never mind the Inuit: h2g2 has many words for snow. Come read the ones that got through the filther. Also admire the international snow photography.
We have a surprise for you: cat photos. No need to thank us. We're glad to do it.
Awix explains M Night Shyamalan.
We have eclipse photos! The moon was particularly interesting that night, but boy, was it cold in Pennsylvania.
We DO have photos of things other than snow, cats, and eclipses. We leave you to find them.
There are action videos. Both of them star...okay, cats. But *different* cats.
There is humour, fiction, and snark. Lots of snark. Also a quiz about a groundhog, and a new Create Challenge. Shut up, you'll like this one.

Learn about tritylodonts. Not everything prehistoric is a zillion feet tall. Speaking of strange creatures, find out what Desideria the Demoness is up to.
Our photographers *notice* things: hearts in snow, birds decorating trees, the sun, the moon, reflections, dogs in cars, cat pillows, things like that. Go notice with them.
Take the quizzes - guest quizmaster SashaQ has a good one for you!
This week, we examine the truly controversial questions: How good is that piano movie? Does William Shatner know a UFO when he sees one? Can you trust Elliott Ness? Is that loo xenophobic?
See the snake cake! You *have* to see the snake cake.
Read an ancient blog. Argue with the Editor about reality. Enjoy the perfect Valentine's Day poem. Find out where to get your broken ribs patched up cheap.
Remember, next week will be even weirder!

The h2g2 Post is up at A87925422 - come and be astonished.
Willem's cry is 'On to Mammals!' Also, Desideria is still flying around. Gotta love those bat wings.
Speaking of flying around, SashaQ has bird pics. Some are even on video!
Caimanraptorelk spotted a cat in the Netherlands (how unusual), and Willem's sister saw a church in Moscow (ditto). The pictures are beautiful. Milla's friend found a church in Sweden where things are really looking up.
Check Awix out before you watch the Oscars. He's got the skinny.
We have quizzes, puzzles, and brain teasers. There are even footprints in the snow for clues.
Our photography will give you a new sense of perspective.
Our contributors will make you laugh. There are Egyptians walking around where they shouldn't be. There's a time machine from Yorkshire (very practical). Someone has built, if not a better mousetrap, then a more intellectually challenging one...
Speaking of intellectual challenges, we've got 'em. Dig the avantgarde art.
We also bring you existentialist musical video. And informative video. As Charles Ives said,'You will sit there and take it.'
More weirdness next week. Fortify yourselves with tea, and remember to send more Stuff.

Watch videos: Deek has the sports, I've got the music and poetry, and the FBI is hot on the trail of the spies who stole Paulh's recipe.
Chortle over the 'office follies'.
Enjoy high art, low art, and just about everything in between.
Remember to work on your Create contribution, and have a good week!
