Happy Friday, everyone! Here are links from others. Videos of the drawings for the contest winners will show up over the weekend if all goes well, and we'll be back to our regular schedule on Monday.

From Julie: Chickens in chikinis! Knit a sweater for your fowl friend this holiday!

Also from Julie: the world's most expensive book is up for auction,  the DaVinci code  really IS in France, and "The winner of the annual Turnip Prize, awarded for art which requires as little effort and talent as possible, has gone to "Chilli n'Minors." Ha!!

From Cassandra: The Ice Hotel is open for business once again, and  the best meteor shower of the year is about to begin.
