Link dump: Tubes, vampires, cookies
(It's time for another link dump, a hodgepodge of web goodness. Enjoy!)

There is a theory -- a "unified" theory, in fact -- that the universe is connected by "wave tubes". (Imagine traveling to other galaxies through wormholes ala-Star Gate.) But I digress.
On a less grander scale, but still beautiful, here is the Milky Way, represented as a transit (tube) map.

Speaking of tubes (what a segue...), ever wondered how the Internet is made? Wonder no more. Here is an Instructables how-to about making a replica of "The Internet", as seen in the comedy hit, The IT Crowd. (Embedding is not allowed so here's a link to the clip of that episode.)
Fun facts about the internet!
- The internet is surprisingly small!
- The internet is wireless!
- The internet is very light! (Of course the internet doesn't weigh anything!)
- The internet lives at the top of Big Ben! (Where it gets the best reception.)
- Before being borrowed, it MUST be demagnetised! Preferably by a Grand Master of The Internet such as Stephen Hawking.

Something totally unrelated, but very cool nevertheless: an SF story about vampires, with a twist. (Here is the link to the MP3.) I should look for more of these.

And here's someone who loves typography: she bakes cookies shaped as Helvetica type. Lorem ipsum dolor sit yummy!
