Source check: Moon Farmer is a blog that collects items in the news that make you roll your eyes, shake your head or gape open-mouthed in disbelief. It's not quite News of the Weird, but more like open subversion and brain hemorrhage-inducing banalities, like an account of a U.S. government official praising the success of the privacy-eliminating Patriot Act on condition of anonymity. Plus there's a special category for CanCon. Keep track of your world at www.moonfarmer.org.

Bored game: Take a trip down memory lane with the instructions to damn near every toy and game ever produced by Hasbro in the '70s, '80s and '90s. The original manuals have been scanned into full colour high-quality PDF files available for free, all original art included. So if you've forgotten how to play "Say Cheese, The Ewok Picture Puzzle Card Game," you'll find the info at www.hasbro.com/pl/page.game_and_toy_instructions/.
