“The Worst Oil Spills in History” by Script & Seal on Flickr
1. “The Worst Oil Spills in History” by Script & Seal on Flickr: This wonderfully designed map in the throwback style of old textbook materials by design duo Gavin and Liz really puts our most recent oil disaster into a global perspective.
2. “Animals I Enjoy Imagining” by Felix Muhl: An amusing and lovely musing on animals that are not.
3. Fold A Shirt Napkin For Father’s Day: Having dinner with your dad this Sunday. Decorate the table for the occasion with this fun and easy project by Jessica Jones of How About Orange.
4. My Four-Year-Old Son Plays Grand Theft Auto: Before you get your knickers in a bunch, read the article – a fascinating study on how a child views and transforms a very adult game.
5. Children’s Dictionary Dumps “Nature” Words: This is very sad indeed: to accommodate newer, more futuristic words like “celebrity” and “bungee jumping,” the newest edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary has opted to drop terms pertaining to old nature. Some I can understand, but no more “goblin”? No more “leopard”? No more “bacon”?! Future world, I reject thee.
6. First Photos of Universal Studio’s “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”: I have to admit, I’ve been a little nervous about this. I don’t like it when bigger enterprises ruin books I like (example: all the Twilight movies). But if the pictures are any indication, it appears Universal at least got the look and feel of the place spot on. Now, if I can only convince them to Fedex me a butterbeer…
7. Surra de Bunda: Dear All the Brazilian Ladies: We gotta talk. It’s been a tumultuous relationship between us, to say the least. I thought I would never forgive you for creating the Brazilian wax, a form of torture so crazy it’s only trumped by the fact that you have somehow managed to insinuate it into so many women’s standard beauty rituals. You bounced back though with the Caipirinha. Wow, did you. I was ready to let bygones be bygones, probably because I was so drunk on your delicious juices. But now, this. I….we can’t be friends anymore. And no, you can’t have your drink back. PS: Unless you want me to call your tia, stop doing that! You’re gonna pull something!
Finally, armed with one hell of a camera, Leon Godwin took this stunning time-lapse video of Yosemite Valley that reminds you that the world is truly made of magic.

oil spills can really damage the environment so bad that it would take years to repair the damage~;`
