Friday Links!

From Andy Dayton, and I'm a week late to link this, but it's still very funny: A Guide To American Football.

From DQ Reader My Wife, and this is a fantastic article: Minnesota’s Olympic Hockey Cradle (Pop. 1,781).

This week, The Edwin Garcia Links Machine sent videos, and lots of them. First, and this is very funny (and not mean in the slightest): The Truth About Gingers. Next, and this is another example of the surprising brilliance of Corvids: Clever Crow. These guys are quite amazing: Red Hot Chili Pipers. One more, and it's why babies can be so annoying:  Tomer Ullman: The Crying Game. Not a video, but stunning and evocative photography: Abandonedography. This link was sent with "history is awesome" as the comment, and yes, it is: Charlemagne's bones are (probably) real. Last one, and it's utterly fantastic: GoPro: Red Bull Stratos - The Full Story. Wait--I was wrong. Here's a story about Finns (those clever Finns) isolating a GPS signal from audio: Mystery signal from a helicopter. Genius!

From Michael M., and this is some heavy-duty number crunching: The Best Scoring Defenses In NFL History.
