Good News Week
The one-hit wonder group's 1965 song has the most sublime lyrics.
Words and music by Kenneth King.
Sing along with me, we'll have a hootenanny.
Does that date me or what?
FunFact: there were two versions, the UK iteration (top) becoming quite controversial such that a watered-down version (below)
was released in the U.S.
And before you get your baggies in a twist about how relatively mild the song sounds today, remember, it was 1965.

Meat Glue — "The meat industrys dirty little secret"
Meat Glue — "The meat industry's dirty little secret":
From Australia's TodayTonight: "The industry-wide secret butchers don't want you to know about: the special product called Meat Glue sticking your steak together."
Banned by the European Union, Meat Glue remains legal in Australia — and the U.S.
You could look it up.

Fruit and Vegetable Sculpture by Dimitri Tsykalov
Fruit & Vegetable Sculpture by Dimitri Tsykalov:
"The Russian artist
takes fruits and vegetables,
then carves out
impressively sinister-looking skulls."

365 Knitting Clock
Wrote its creator, Siren Elise Wilhemsen, "The 365 knitting clock was made to measure and register time in a three dimensional form to visualize the otherwise invisible time factor that connects us all. Instead of showing time in numbers, the tool we normally use to understand and organise time, the knitting clock shows the philosophical point of the ongoing process of time. It is knitting the hours and the days and shows the time as something that is constantly moving, changing and developing."
"Every passing of a half hour is marked by the knitting of a stitch, a full day is measured by a full circle around the clock and a year results in a two-meter-long scarf. After one year the wool has to be replaced and a new year can be knitted. The year that has passed is this year's scarf. And the coming year is the wool unknitted."
Too wonderful.
