Assorted links, vol. 68

*--Quantum theory + Morgan Freeman + autotune = legit (and follow the embedded link for more).  Also, this TED talk by Garrett Lisi on his "exceptionally simple" (read: "you only need a master's degree in mathematics to understand it") theory of everything is complicated but quite interesting.
*--The once and future Russian president Vladimir Putin is a man of action.
--Here's a fun game based on your own drawings.
--Whoops, look like The Onion went too far the other day....
*--What are those mainstays of pop songs and where do they come from?
--Awesome website to both waste time and learn new things.  (For instance, Ivan [the tough 6'5" opponent in Rocky IV] is a real-life genius with an IQ of about 160 who speaks seven languages.)
--Another good website to check out, "for people who give a damn".

More to come.  Enjoy!
