Multi-link Mondays
We haven't done five fun links of time-wasting goodness in a while. Here's a quintet of links I've been entertained by lately -- post your own new faves in the comments. Thanks!

Angela's "Office" wedding is off, but her wedding Web site lives on.
|
• Foamigami: Amazing artworks created with those old-fashioned white styrofoam cups that I haven't seen since we all got landfill conscious a few years ago. (A reader sent this one in and I lost his or her name...thanks, reader!)
• Although Andy and Angela are broken up on "The Office," their wedding Web site is still alive, and a total hoot. The blend of Pachelbel's Canon and "You Can Call Me Al" by Andy's Cornell a capella group, Here Comes Treble, is sheer genius, but don't miss the tour of Shrute Farms, the bit about Angela's eight cats as ring bearers, and the photo of her dress.
• In my head, I am very crafty. But when it comes to actually sitting down trying to make stuff, I am all thumbs. So I appreciate knowing I'm not alone by reading this Weblog, Craft Fail. My favorite is "Fat Dog in a Little Coat." ("Tommy Boy" fans are singing along.)
• And Craft Fail reminded me that it's been a while since I checked in on the awesome Cake Wrecks, a Weblog highlighting unbelievably horrible professional cakes. (They don't mock home decorators like yours truly -- people actually paid for these cakes.) If anyone had made one of those pregnant belly cakes for my baby shower they would have been wearing it, I'm just saying. I needed to scrub those images from my brain by looking at CakeWrecks Sunday entry, where they feature really GOOD cakes. Love these board games!
• One of the most memorable scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" was when Luke Skywalker tries not to freeze to death inside the slit belly of a Tauntaun. For an April Fool's Day prank, ThinkGeek.com pretended to sell a Tauntaun sleeping bag, complete with internal intestines on the lining. This fake product was so popular that the company is looking into making real ones. Why not? It worked for this 1982 Kenner action figure, with "open belly rescue feature."
