So far, this has been one of my favorite days on metafilter, ever. I haven't been around that long, but between the bacon bookmarks (which I would like to officially nominate for the sidebar), the mysterious rocks surrounding Washington DC, and the all-sugar replicator, I am really fucking impressed. I know some of you hate America (Maybe you should check this out), but I loved that post too. Thanks rad people!

While I snark at this mefilove callout, it did direct me towards the DC boundary marker post on the blue. Well played, sir.

All kidding aside, madamjujujive's post today was one of the most interesting posts in months, especially when others chimed in with all the things they had found in books.

When he bans the image tag? I dunno, that's the day mathowie died to me.

Here's another one, from Ask.

A couple weeks ago, question: how did they do the special effects for this Feist music video where dancers appear from nowhere?

Today, conclusive answer: there's a making-of video online, that shows there's no trickery or special effects at all - it was just filmed really cleverly.

Incidentally, the original answerers called it correctly.

Thanks, serazin - it's nice to get a Metatalk call out without having to run the gauntlet ;-)
