Friday Links (lots of videos editon)

It's Friday! The first Friday in March. Already! I should be more excited, but I've been sick all week and while I'm hopeful that the antibiotics will get rid of this cough sometime soon, I'm just too tired to be enthusiastic about anything.

Anyway, here is a collection of news and other things that I ran across over the course of the week which struck me as worthy of being shared:

Totally normal!
