Linking Horn for July 16, 2009

The Linking Horn is a regular feature here at Steff Metal, featuring random goodies from all over the internet. It’s like a sampler box of Cadbury Chocolates, only without the chocolate. Or the box. Actually, it’s not really like a box of chocolates at all.

A video from a ‘Black Metal Fashion Show‘ and some of the hilarious comments received in regards to the designers’ use of corpsepaint and feathers …

Researchers from the School for Risk and Safety Sciences at the University of New South Wales in Sydney have concluded that  Heavy Metal Headbangers ‘risk injury’. The researchers attended several heavy metal concerts to apply biochemical analysis to headbanging techniques. This article is a few years old now, but I just stumbled across it. It makes me giggle.

From this great site comes useful Latin phrases  for everyday life, including “I’m not interested in your dopey religious cult” (Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione) and “Go ahead. Make my day” (Age. Fac ut gaudeam).

Profiles of 10 real life mad scientists. Good to see crazy old Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov made the list.

From Knigts Edge, the Scour Skull toilet brush, made from cold-cast resin, realistically hand-aged and finished for that authentic autopsy bathroom decor!

If you’re going to see something at the movies this week, the RunPee website helpfully tells you the best times to go to the toilet during specific films.

Also for the filmophile – uncomfortable plot summaries. BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill. DOCTOR WHO: Elderly man serially abducts young women. HARRY POTTER: Celebrity Jock thinks rules don’t apply to him, is right. Need I go on?

That’s all for now! Super Snuggles and Shoggoth Kisses
