• Spoiler-free review: Inception was really, really cool.
• As spied in the surprisingly creepy trailer for The Social Network that played before Inception, here's the Scala & Kolacny Brothers choral version of "Creep."
• What would you do if an odd little bird toy (or decoration, or something) landed on your doorstep and you knew neither where it came

I love Improv Everywhere except for one thing. They don't actually do improv.

I could try to stretch definitions and such, but...yeah, that's about right.

They even address it in their FAQ. They are a group of people from Upright Citizens Brigade so they definitely know how to improv.

I do like the bit about it in their FAQ. Hell, their subtitle is "We Cause Scenes," and those scenes are open-ended based on the reactions of the people they're throwing into whatever bit of lunacy they're creating now.

Love the bird pictures. I have a friend who has a hand drawn picture of herself that is a paper doll-type cut out. It's called, "Flat Rachel". She mails it to people all around the country and they snap pictures of it in various places like the Grand Canyon, wine country, etc. She posts the pictures and tells stories about Flat Rachel's adventures. It's cute.

That's awesome. I love random crowdsourced delights like that.
