Thr triumph of the human brain is how easily it breaks.

First, a meme from jantalaimon:

Ask me my top five of anything.

And now, without further ado...

Let's Positive Linking!
- How Costco Became the Anti-Wal-Mart. A good article that offers yet more evidence of the wonderfulness of Costco. :D

- An article about a kickass fighting game ace - who also happens to be blind. (From dincrest.) The fact that he plays facing away from the screen must totally psych out his opponents. XD

- The Brain-Hurting Fanfic Pairing Generator. You can waste HOURS on this site getting bizarre pairings. Here's some of my favorite results, lj-cut to spare your friendspage:

Hiroshige Ando (Japanese artist)/Gretchen Weiners (Mean Girls)
Not much to say - well, aside from XD - except to brag that my stepdad has an old, probably original, print of his most famous work"Sudden Shower at O-hashi Bridge."
Connor (Angel)/Helen (Homeward Bounders)
OMGTHEIRLOVEISSOANGSTYMONKEYSPANKY
Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV)/Hamilton (Angel)
OK, first off, Kain is TEH WIN. (Personally, I think he should have stayed evil and kicked the ass of that brain-dead Cecil and his vapid girlfriend Rosa.) And...dude, Hamilton is the uke? I always knew Jayne would be a bottom! XD
(In case you're wondering, Hamilton is played by Adam Baldwin, aka Jayne on Firefly.)
Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)/Spongebob Squarepants
The sad thing is, you know there's a HP/SpongeBob fanfic out there about this. XD
T'Pol (Enterprise)/Hefty Smurf
XD
Ford Prefect (Hitchhiker's Guide)/Godzilla
Ummm...OUCH?
Parvati Patil (Harry Potter)/Sasshi (Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi)
Not sure she's boobtacular enough, but I can buy it.
Mimura Shinji (Battle Royale)/Pearl (Legend of Mana)
So, the cool together guy from BR and the scatty, hapless Jumi who turns into a leather-wearing dominatrix badass. Huh.
Elizabeth Bennett (Pride and Prejudice)/Irvine Kinneas (FF8)
Dude, this would be SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE, ZOMG. XDDDD
I'm so writing this now.
Will Stanton (The Dark Is Rising)/Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)
Well, I've read Merriman/Will slash, so I suppose this is not all that far off, but still...Dark is Rising slash makes me want to weep. ;_;
Shakespeare (Shakespeare in Love)/Navi the Fairy (Legend of Zelda)
Now you know the true story behind the composition of A Midsummer Night's Dream. XD
Dorian Grey (The Picture of ...)/Richter Belmont (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
Another one that SHOULD SO HAPPEN, DAMMIT. XD
Aaron Burr/Linus Torvalds
XDDDD
Donnie Darko/Little Red Riding Hood
"My, what big teeth your special bunny friend has !" "All the better for him to EAT YOU WITH!"
Schmendrick the Magician (The Last Unicorn)/Vampire Harmony (Buffy)
This is another one that should be written if it hasn't been. XD
Susan (Desperate Housewives)/Catharine Parr
Dude, this site has my ETERNAL LOVE for having Henry VIII's wives (even the lesser-known ones) as options. For the record, though, I think she'd be too busy fighting with Susan over Hot Neighbor Guy. XD
Donald Trump (The Apprentice)/Sethos (Amelia Peabody novels)
Again, XD

And some that, while funny, I couldn't think up any good comments on:
Gilderoy Lockhart (Harry Potter)/Agent Smith (Matrix)
Marty McFly (Back to the Future)/Excel (Excel Saga)
Ranma (Boy-Type)/Mr. Nancy (American Gods)

And a bonus for vaulted_eel:
Colette (Tales of Symphonia)/Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales)

(You know, it seems like the best pairings are the ones you can ALMOST see, like Lizzie/Irvine.)

Why do I have a bad feeling that the Scrooge McDuck pairing involves the answer to why cartoon ducks do not wear pants?

HEAD HURTS!

Gilderoy Lockhart (Harry Potter)/Agent Smith (Matrix)

It's inevitable, Mister Lockhart. Take off my pants.
