Do Not Build a Frankenstein! (link roundup)

Go here to see few interior pages from Neil Numberman's new book Do Not Build a Frankenstein!, which is 32% off at Amazon.

And a few more links:

1. A man dropped a Kindle, broke it, and convinced Amazon to send him $400 since their advertisement indicates that a Kindle can survive such a fall.

2. "Meta-list" of the 100 best comics of 2008. Via.

3. Long article at the New Yorker about James Cameron, Avatar, and his unpleasant behavior. Like everything else I've seen related to Avatar, it's pretty boring. Aside from the fact that his crew calls the dark side of his personality "Mij" - - Jim backward. Via.

*Buy Frankenstein toys at eBay.

Dimethyl Sulfate warning sign (link roundup)

The hazmat warning sign for dimethyl sulfate makes it seem kind of awesome.

And a few more links:

1. Newsflash: Stores are set up to play on your emotions and convince you to buy. For example, Costco places high ticket items to get you in the mood to spend, and satisfy your urge to splurge with a more attainable DVD. Via.

2. Kraft wants to buy Cadbury because Cadbury has established a major presence in developing countries such as India. Via.

3. Dan Brown's 20 worst sentences. (I'll never understand his success. I hated the Da Vinci Code. Except for the concept at its core that Christianity was popular because it was an orgy religion, that was fun.)
