I'm kinda in a cosmic fuck of a mood today. Too damned tired and cannot sleep.

Distract me with shinies?

Oh, those crazy germans! (There are several links to strange german behaviour, which were compiled for visitor during the world cup. But we are also strange when there's no world cup *g*)

I would find more, but youtube just died on me and won't load videos anymore :/

I am dorky and take great delight in poking through random entries in the Encyclopedia Mythica (http://pantheon.org/) and Brewer's Phrase & Fable (http://bartleby.com/81/).

Hopefully you already have this (http://jescaflowne.livejournal.com/76458.html), but it never fails to send me into fits of giggles. And you asked for shinies, and this is definitely shiny. Sparkly, even. :D

And if you want a longer distraction, here is a really random and funny book: Little Eve Edgarton (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/15660). It is strange and obscure, and I bought my copy at an antique store because the first page is awesomeness and also because there is a picture captioned "Don't delay me! ... I've got to make four hundred muffins!" (The HTML version linked off Gutenberg includes the illustrations.) What can I say, I'm a book geek and just love finding random old books. :) (Also, apparently you can listen (http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/22982) to the book as well! I have not tried this yet so I've no idea what it sounds like, but it seems there are podficcers for out-of-copyright books. This is an exciting new prospect!)
Edit: I have tried listening to the audio version of Little Eve now. Don't. The reader gets the inflections all wrong, which ruins the awesomeness. :(
