Monday Link Dump
* Uh oh. The iPod Nano’s screen is easily scraped. Say that five times fast.
* Preposterous sports records that even non-sports people will enjoy. Categories include “Only NBA player to kill a lion with a spear,” “First player sidelined for playing too many video games,” and “Most stab wounds suffered by a player.” (Thanks, Shawn.)
* Japanese vending machines come in all flavors, including farm fresh eggs, cell phone recharging stations, and dry ice (!).
* Brian Lamb interviews Wikipedia’s founder on C-SPAN. (Also: Lamb just got married for the first time.)
* How to shuffle a deck of cards single-handedly.
* Cooking 101, for when the directions get more complicated than “remove plastic from meat and vegetables. Poke holes over remaining items. Nuke for 10-12 minutes.”
