Some wonderful things found on the web in the past few days that you should all check out:
Photo-crashing ground squirrel, who is not only amazing in his own right, but who also demonstrates what the internet is for by having become a meme in record time. Within hours of his appearance, he'd been photoshopped onto almost everything imaginable. But, I mean, I can see why.
Mathematicians at the University of Ottawa provide the first models of the effects of a zombie outbreak on the world's human population. Doesn't look good for us, guys.
Learn about the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, arguably the most important image ever taken in terms of revealing to us how much really is out there, and see an incredible new animated 3D fly-through of the Deep Field's galaxies. Then...
Take part in an awesome citizen science project and help astronomers classify galaxies imaged by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Just read the tutorial, then go for it. The universe is a really beautiful place.
In non-web news, my dad just encountered the reptile version of a tiny yappy dog - an aggressive garter snake that seriously tried to attack him. Hilarious. Someone's got their fight-or-flight instincts wired backward.
