The mystery of the floating Windows XP error message

Not the invasion of crappy software from outer space, this is apparently what happens when an advertisement board goes wrong on a foggy night in Russia.

Take a gondola up the side of a mountain, then smoke a fag when you get to the top. It's the Chinese way.

image via reddit.

I took a gondola up the side of a mountain in China once - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, around 4500 metres up. A short ride and they sell you oxygen masks, the snow is everywhere, and there are clouds below you. You could try skiing, but the presence of nothing more than tape to prevent a fall of several hundred feet off a cliff onto the jagged rocks below was a bit off-putting. The funniest thing was the Chinese tourists walking around the place admiring the view, an oxygen canister in one hand and a cigarette in the other, chain-puffing smokes and oxygen all the way.

RSS exists precisely so you don't have to tell people to go back to a site again and again because it's that good.

Boston.com's Big Picture is just such a site.

Life in a Russian kennel

via englishrussia.com

Some touching, but distressing images of dogs in a Russian kennel - according to the website's broken English the dogs are kept there for experimentation.

The coolest pictures ever of people leaning on or standing in front of cars

So Wil Wheaton just posted this picture on this blog, with the caption 'this is the coolest picture you'll see all week':
