This parrot is really cool, she knows how to say and imitate a ton of things, including other animals. It seems like this type of intelligence/mimick ability is well known in African Greys.

After I posted the China photos, these aerial photos of Mexico showed up on Digg, so I figured they'd go along nicely.

Check out these really cool photos of China. They look almost surreal. It's still probably not enough to make Beth actually like China, though.

Want to send someone an email from Bill Gates? Steve Jobs? Just use this handy email spoofing tool. You can even make those silly chain letters more realistic. Now instead of it saying "Bill Gates offered to pay people blah blah blah" and having it be from jennyluvgXoXo32321@aol.com, you can make it from billgates@microsoft.com. Have fun, but don't be stupid.

Zombie Roaches - First a wasp paralyzes the roach, does a little brain surgery, and then controls the zombie roach by manipulating the roach's antennae to where it wants to go, all to lay an egg that eventually ends up hatching a larva that eats the still living roach. Pretty crazy stuff.

Credit Review: 7 simple steps to grow your fortune. I particularly liked the online banking idea, so I signed up for HBSC, who'll give you $25 for signing up and has a 4.80% interest rate. Compare that to the 0.4% interest rate at the local bank.

Apparently all the Super Bowl XL Commercials are on Google Video, in case you missed some...or all of them.

30 Boxes is an online calendar that integrates with Flickr, MySpace, (Insert random Web 2.0 site here), etc.
That's not really the cool part though, the cool part is that you can actually get to all the crap you have to do from anywhere you can access the internet, plus you can see your friend's schedules if they're so inclined to add you to their "Buddy List".
It also has all the holidays for several countries, depending on which one you choose (although it's strangely lacking Easter). There's also an option to import any RSS feed you choose, which I tried to do with my website and caused the calendar to break and not show up, so I don't recommend that particular feature quite yet.
Otherwise, it's a pretty cool page and I'd recommend trying it out.
