| On Kings |
 by Fëanor |
In the Bible, it says the people asked God, through the prophet Samuel, for a King over them. Samuel warned them against it, saying (1 Samuel 8:11-18), "he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots... He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants... He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day."
"[I]n free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other." -Thomas Paine, Common Sense |

| Recyclotron |
 by Fëanor |
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- I enjoyed this web comic. Perhaps you will, too!
- I'm subscribed to Don Kenn's blog because I love his creepy, evocative, monster-filled art. Now he's made a creepy, evocative, monster-filled music video for Danish artist Fallulah. The music's not bad, either!
- Have you heard about the controversy over the Superman comic book starring an Islamic superhero that mysteriously disappeared? Here's an amusing web comic about it.
- The Branch Holder makes any stick more sword-like. Awesome!
- In this great photo, the Captains Kirk arm-wrestle it out.
- Rumor has it Chris "The Doctor" Eccleston could play Stannis Baratheon or Balon Greyjoy in the second season of Game of Thrones. I like him for either part!
- Another ban of violent video games struck down. Yay!
- I'm loving this MST3K bed frame.
- I really love this photo of Wild Things on the subway.
- I feel like I've seen, and possibly posted, this TIE Fighter costume before, but it is very funny and clever, so it can't hurt to post it again. (Via)
- Recyclotron is a bit heavy on the web comics today, I know, but here's one more: Scott Meyer's commentary on the recent news about Mark Zuckerberg's eating/killing habits. (I kind of admire the guy for this move, actually, but yeah, there is something weird and creepy about it.)

| Recyclotron |
| by Fëanor |
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- I recently discovered that my friend Cyn has a Tumblr. Here are a couple of nice recent posts.
- This new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is thrilling, but a little upsetting to me. I don't remember a scene in the book when Harry grabbed Voldemort and jumped over a cliff with him. They're not trying to turn this into some typical action movie finale, are they? Because that would be very, very wrong.
- Dude, check it out. George finished the book! Of course, this had to happen pretty soon, what with the publication date already announced and stuff, but still. It's finally really done! (Via)
- io9 put together a gallery of some fantastic-looking Yugoslavian monuments.
- A wonderful set of cover illustrations for a pulp magazine that doesn't exist. (At least, I don't think it does.)
- So apparently the European Commission has approved the construction of an ultra-superlaser capable of tearing apart space-time. What could go wrong??
- A clothes hanger inspired by Magritte.
- Amusing video of Mario using the gun from Portal to make his life easier - and play pranks on his brother.
- Here's a tapir getting a massage.
- A couple of cute illustrations set on the planet Hoth.
- Check out some photos of an amazing Alice in Wonderland-themed restaurant in Japan.
- Beautiful poster for an episode of the original Star Trek.
- Chris Sims picks the 25 most awesome Action Comics covers of all time for Comics Alliance.
- Eeww. The average steering wheel is filthier than the average public toilet seat.
- An interviewer makes Mark Ruffalo put on Hulk hands, which is hilarious, and also gets him to reveal that his Hulk will have a couple of lines in The Avengers.
