To celebrate my insanely exciting travel/adventure news, I've been blasting my facebook with the good times virus. Here's a round-up of some of the cheerful links, as well as a few extras:

A video of Mariachi Connecticut serenading a beluga whale at the Mystic Aquarium.

A video of a plane to plane skydive, taken by one of the skydivers.

A Swedish man was arrested for trying to split atoms in a home kitchen reactor. "Mr. Handl, 31, said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove. Only later did he realize it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden's Radiation Authority, which answered by sending the police."

Revival, Beats Antique's brand shiny new music video.

One of the best sci-fi trailer-teasers ever made. (I wish it were for a new favourite television show, but no, it's for a terrible video game).

According to Gawker, Newt Gingrich might have paid for the majority of his Twitter followers.

Art installation: books rupturing through a wall of an advertising agency in a building that used to be a library.

Starting next August, U.S. insurance providers will be required to cover all FDA-approved birth control methods.

Timelapse of 3D printout of Stephen Colbert’s head.

Explain like I'm five, simply worded answers to complicated questions.

Fastest Shave Ever.
