Some neat info on the state of the world last time London hosted the Olympics (1948) and a very interesting female athlete to boot.

How to ship Olympic horses
A Nigerian rower finished in dead last to a roaring Olympic crowd, having only learned rowing 3 months earlier.
An Olympic swimmer had never been in an Olympic sized pool
Why pandas are terrible investments

Legos, politician awe, drowned buildings
All the Lego sets, ever. *drools*
I know John McCain gets all the "badass politician" press, and he did have some very heroic wartime experiences. But honestly, Daniel Inouye should make the top of any badass politician list by far. In fact, he should BE the list. Check out paragraphs 3-5 here.
Amazing drowned buildings.

bleeding, sandbox, legos
What to call your period in other countries. Love the Danish one.
The most awesome sandbox bottom ever. So cool I'm not even previewing it here - click the link.
Repairing things on the street with Legos!

veggie shark, chicago
The world's only vegetarian shark.
The Chicago skyline. From Indiana.
This incredible photograph of the Chicago skyline by photographer Tom Adams was number one on the front page of Reddit a couple days ago. The striking view was captured from a beach in Porter, Indiana (approx. 1 hour drive from Chicago).
The body of water in the foreground is Lake Michigan and Tom took this photograph using a Canon 60D with a medium telephoto lens. He made a slight adjustment to the exposure in Lightroom.
The setting sun adds an incredible richness and colour to this photograph and it’s certainly one of the most beautiful the Sifter has seen in recent time. Full kudos to Mr. Adams on a truly stunning capture.
