Next week, Grog will jump into a frozen lake for charity. Anyone that pledges money will not only help a great cause, they will also get access to the pics and whatever other media recorded that day.

Grog’s pledge page is here.

The shanghaiist blog posts about internet monitor mascots, which are placed on webpages to remind people not to post about sensitive subjects like Tiananmen Square. Or Dongzhan riots. Or Falun Gong. Or Tibet. Or Zhao Ziyang. Or the fact that Taiwan is a country run and ruled independently of China.

Oops, let that one slip.

You can even click on the mascot to talk to a live police net monitor to “ask questions about information safety“. With services like this, who needs Friendster?

Russians love vodka. Is this a stereotype? Yes. But some of them are also giving their animals vodka in order to “keep them warm” during an exceptionally cold winter. Elephants, boars, and camels are tippin’ it back and even Rudolph has a reason to have a red nose now, though my favorite is giving the monkeys cheap table wine 3 times a day. Now that’s class.

I also just realized something magical: -40C is also -40F. In other words, when it’s fucking cold, it’s universal.
