Riddle #1:
What does man love more than life,
fear more than death or mortal strife,
what the poor have- the rich require,
and what contended men desire,
What misers spend, and spendthrifts save,
and all men carry to their grave?

Riddle #2:
The part of the bird
that is not in the sky,
which can swim in the ocean
and always stay dry.

Design Meltdown is an interesting site resource for searching for sites by color, graphic elements and techniques (ie. atypical navigations). For the amount of trumpeting the owner does on good design tactics, the site itself isn’t designed well, nor is it user friendly. That said, it still offers a pretty interesting repository for site screenshots that may be helpful when researching or digging for creative ideas.

These videos are hilarious. I love the sound effects for the meows and how natural the cat moves. Any cat owner will realize the subtle idiosyncrasies of the cat and has to appreciate the thought that went into its movement alone.
