http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/13/opinion/20100813_opart_schottboardgame.html The NY Times offers this snakes ‘n ladders board game for cottage renters. I’ve never rented a cottage, but that doesn’t stop me from snerking over the fun scenarios listed here, accompanied by twee drawings.
I Heart Guts
http://iheartguts.com/ A cute idea on the plane of the stuffed germs from a few years ago. These guys make our inner works adorable and cute, while keeping the tone informative.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/15/AR2006081500916_pf.html I’m on an octopus kick, and wore a tremendous grin while reading this article.
