Hello! Tomorrow I'm off to New York for adventures, so today is a grab bag of links. Folderol will be back next week, probably Wednesday but maybe sooner.




From Bunny, a link I forgot to use yesterday: Marie Antoinette's automaton dulcimer player. Wowzers.



From Julie: man cuts off thumb, has big toe attached in its place. Eeek.



From Chuck: behold, the anointed beluga!



And finally, some random fun: a matrix of robots in our world, and a collection of wacky photos of Vladimir Putin which sort of serve as a guide to Russia. I like the biker photos the best, I think, but the frying pan photo is also good!



Have a spiffy week and weekend, everyone! See you soon.
