Katamari Damacy plus Shadow of the Colossus equals... (link roundup)

Katamari Damacy/Shadow of the Colossus mashup. Via this collection of weird Katamari art.

And a few more links:

1. News to me: "H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds was an allegory about the injustice of European imperial rule of Africa, China and India."

2. Good article about soldiers ambushed in Afghanistan:

The Americans, seasoned by years of war here and in Iraq, would seek to create an intricately violent response, designed to undo the odds, save the pinned soldiers and kill the insurgents who, for a moment, had shown themselves.

3. Pranksters installed swings on San Francisco's BART.

4. Quality commentary on the Supreme Court upholding the FCC's indecency fines:

I propose this deal: the baby boomers can continue their astonishing string of selling out every single principle they ever claimed to have (R.I.P George Carlin) and keep their precious network television. Meanwhile, Gen X and the Millennials can have the internet. Oh, we're already doing that? Cool.

Dragon and wolf (link roundup)

A girl, a dragon, and a wolf (or is it a dragon wolf?) by Chelsea Greene Lewyta. Lots of great, but disturbing and NSFW, art at her site.

And a few more links:

1. Israelis don't want to call the disease "Swine Flu," so instead they're going to call it "Mexican Flu." Via.

2. No photo or video, but use your imagination - - Chihuahua yanked out of owner's sight by 70-mph gust of wind. Via.

3. You absolutely want to see what the Libyan National Security Adviser looks (and dresses) like. (And don't miss the last sentence of Hillary Clinton's opening statement.) Via.

4. That LA judge who kept the lawsuit against Sharon Stone a secret says it was just an innocent mistake. Via.
