Yes, The Internet Can Get Even Wierder

If you thought the daily video of David Lynch giving a weather report was absurd, check out CheddarVision TV. Yes, it's a little video camera aimed 24 hours a day at a ripening cheddar wheel. Really.

Here's a nod to the New York Times for drawing our attention to it, with a great little quote:

“The cruel randomness of celebrity became clear to Tom Calver in February, when the cheese got a romantic Valentine in the mail and he did not. 'What has he done?' Mr. Calver asked of the cheese in question, a 44-pound round of cheddar currently maturing on his farm in this Somerset hamlet. (Mr. Calver’s farm, not the cheese’s.) "

And thanks should also go out to the latest addition to the theory community who alerted me to the above article. We are all searching for absurdity together, it would seem.
