Word of the Day

Frippery (n., FRIP-per-ree)

Pretentious, showy elegance or ornamentation, especially in architecture or dress. Effie Trinket. Gotham City in "Batman & Robin." Lady Gaga's meat dress. An ascot.

Important usage note: the songs of Robert Fripp, whether in King Crimson or elsewhere, do not qualify as frippery.

Link of the Day

Planes fly through a hangar

Via Sploid, two acrobat planes fly through a plane hangar (note: this means they are REALLY close together and REALLY low to the ground going REALLY fast):

What on earth. Why would you do that? This is something you do in a flight simulator, not in the real world. It's probably telling that the pilots are a little surprised and shell-shocked in the interviews. Full marks, gentlemen, but you should probably never do it again.
