Happy Anniversary to Calvin and Hobbes! It was November 18, 1985 (I know, I’m a day late), that the precocious little boy and his sage stuffed tiger/real tiger first hit comic pages across America. So, I thought I’d hit you guys with a little C&H trivia… I know, it’s not nearly enough to fill the void Bill Watterson has left us, but it’s a little something.

This young woman is Eri Yoshada, the first female recruited to play professional baseball on men’s teams in Japan. She adores the Red Sox. “I’m really happy I stuck with baseball,” Yoshida said in a news conference Monday after she was chosen with 32 others in the new league’s draft. “I want to pitch against men.” This is a great step for women athletes all over the world. Go Eri! -Link

PJM at Old Picture of the Day dropped out of the rat race and became a high school teacher. I can remember my first day of class, I had one class made up of a particularly tough group of students. These students did not have a history of academic success, and struggled in a number of areas, and with a number of issues. On the first day, I threw out the text book, and told ...

Over the years, you’ve seen James Bond use amazing gadgets you wish you could have yourself. Walyou has a rundown of 15 such spy gadgets that exist in the real world! As someone said in the comments, even if you have absolutely no reason to spy on anyone, you’ll want to own these. My personal favorite is the Com-Bat, a small robotic plane that resembles …well, you see it here. Link -Thanks, Eran Abramson!

Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google. I don’t know about 1750, since photography began around 1826, but the LIFE archives are an amazing resource. Link -via YesButNoButYes (image credit: Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1936)

Display your passion in your home with furnishings made from Lego bricks, home products from the Lego company, and products that have that familiar (if not company-sanctioned) shape. See a roundup of these products at mental_floss. Shown is a sofa you could assemble from interlocking blocks sold by a French company. Warning; having all these items in your home at once may scare away ...

Flickr user roguebantha_1138 built a huge Lego diorama that tells a story, set in the Star Wars universe! Welcome to Mustaneer! (it’s not as distant as Mustafar) Basically it’s a Rebel attack on an Imperial base and mining installation. About a year in the making, on and off, it is 75 by 125cm and all built in 1:200 scale. I’ve taken LOADS of pictures (OK, I’ve taken too many) but I’ve tried to write something ...

(Video Link) You may think that this Roomba-riding cat is cute. I’m more concerned about the implications of cats learning how to use human technology. What, do you think that cats will be loyal to us when the revolution comes? As Jonah Goldberg has long warned, cats will turn on us without the slightest hesitation like Kent Brockman before our alien ant overlords. Via Bits & Pieces

Cats have rules for their lives, they just don’t want to tell you about them. James S. Huggins has compiled a list of these guidelines. For example: The humans would have you believe that those lumps under the covers are their feet and hands. They are lying. They are actually Bed Mice, rumored to be the most delicious of all the mice in the world, though no cat has ever been able to catch one. ...

Propaganda posters may or may not have served their purpose for the Soviet Union, but they sure have inspired artists in other parts of the world! The form has been co-opted and remixed with pop culture icons for laughs. See a collection of such derivations at Popped Culture. Link -Thanks, Jeremy Barker! (image credit: BeJay)
