ARKive

This is a brilliant digital library of all the animals in the world. With pictures, films and all the information you will ever need.
Here is a nice animal called an Aye-Aye

I saw a documentary with Miranda Richardson wearing a pink cowboy hat in Madagascar trying to find these little beasties in the jungle. Apparently they are the creatures that inspired J R R Tolkein's Gollum... They are such an amalgamation of other animals - bat ears, woodpecker like middle fingers (sometimes growing 3x as long as the other fingers) and monkeyish qualities. BIZZARO. Villagers believe them to be omen's of death.

The Littlest Spark

This is my new favourite thing - electifying steel wool. oooo When I am well again, I will fire it with a bow and arrow and make my own shootings stars. It crackles and sparks delightfully.
I saw it on a TV show called Brainiac: Science Abuse, hosted by a delicious Vic Reeves, and it was just great, full of lots of things exploding, outrageous props, scientists and ridiculous experiments.
