3. One of Britain's most distinguished orchestra conductors, Sir Edward Downes, flew to Switzerland with his wife and joined her in drinking a lethal cocktail of barbiturates provided by an assisted-suicide clinic. She was deathly ill, and he didn't want to live without her. Their children watched as the couple drank the fatal cocktail and then died, holding each other's hands. Via.

3. I'm not really into Suckadelic's Land of the Lost figures, but Sucklord's comments about the project are pretty funny:

The Movie is gonna suck, and Will Ferrell is a total douche for making it into some stupid asshole comedy. For real. The show, as cheezy and flawed as it was, had some pretty serious Sci-fi themes going on. There was a real charm to the low budget effects and the hoakey over acting. There is for sure a lot of opportunity for comedy there. I'm not mad that it's a comedy. It just looks like a very lowbrow, typical Will Ferrell show that shows no respect for the integrity of the source material or it's fans. I hope I'm wrong, but that awful clip they showed on Conan the other night was not encouraging at all. Stupid potty humor. That's why these figures are coming out now. To act as a salve to the heartbroken fans that are being screwed by Mr. Ferrell and his bullshit, self-serving stinkeroo. Enjoy!

Cover for Pikmin on the old NES (link roundup)

Pikmin, as it would have looked on the old NES. See also 8-bit Resident Evil and Half-Life. Via.

And a few more links:

1. "Since 2006 the surface of the aquifer, in the Kaweah subbasin of the San Joaquin basin, has dropped 50 feet as farmers pumped deeper, Mr. Watte says. Some of his pumps no longer reach far enough to bring any water to the surface." Check out the wild photo at the lower left. Via.

2. Where the Wild Things Are cake, featuring Moishe. Via.

3. Twitter users mistakenly spread the word that the California Supreme Court has legalized gay marriage, not realizing the article was a year old (and moot since California voters outlawed gay marriage a few months later). That's bad enough. What's worse is the "news" was then republished in the LA Times Twitter feed.

4. Due to a contract dispute Danger Mouse can't legally release his new album. So instead, he's going to sell a blank CD-R with cover art, and encourage people to illegally download the album and burn it.
