I’m not one to repost LOLcats, but this one is particularly funny as we’ve been torturing Maysle with one of these damn laser pens a lot lately and he magically never seems to tire of it. What is it about the lil’ red dot that drives kitties so mad?

Codgy sez:

Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Macinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.

More photos here.

[UPDATE: Ugh. Good grief. You can't believe anything on the Internet anymore... LOL. Thanks for pointing out the debunking, Carl. But they are damn cool photos, nonetheless. Next time I'll do a little more fact checking.]

Polaroid is no longer making film stock for their instant cameras. This is sad. However, I just discovered a fun lil’ free app they put up for download from their UK page.
