• Happy birthday, compact disc! The CD turns 25 today.

• More weird signs.


• Bride, groom, family, reception... what else does a Russian wedding need? Oh yeah, a fight.

• Now you can learn stuff while you're taking a shower.


• Videos: the no-longer mysterious sailing stones of Death Valley; the future is now with MS Paint; walk versus don't walk; "popper" (Japanese hip hop street dancing) duo Hamutsun Serve; pop-up book music video; and President Bush's zombie press conference.
