best room ever

when i was young i had a snake that slept in a big cage in the corner of my room and scared the crap out of some of my friends.  that was cool, but this rube goldberg-esque marble course would have been even better! 



i've posted before about rube goldberg here and here.

pocket change

i've enjoyed the imprinted images on the australian coins. the fifty cent piece shows the australian coat of arms, which includes and image of a kangaroo and an emu (pronounced "ee-myoo" as i learned this weekend).

apparently 1999 was the international year of older persons! i did not know that until i read this coin!
