BoingBoing is sharing this mind-blowing video of Walt Disney World’s new Hall of Presidents show which features many of America’s greatest leaders all in one room. The show is full of animatronic robots of Presidents past and present (Obama is featured in the video above) and it’s both a bit freaky and fascinating. I can’t decide which emotion I’m feeling more, but I do know that I really want to go to Walt Disney World now to see this show for myself!

Australia vs USA: Tim Tam packaging compared
November 23, 2008 @ 4:54 pm
Flo brought over 4 packs of “America’s new favorite cookie” (I made that up, pay me if you use it) and I was able to compare the white US-package design to the brown-Australian package design.
The first thing you notice about the different Tim Tam packs is their color. I personally prefer the brown packaging because the cookies themselves are chocolate. I mean, the white packaging has the Tim Tam on the cover too, but the chocolate swirls on the Australian packaging are more salivating.
Other than the exterior packaging, the cookies are basically the same. They come in the same quantities per pack and are packaged inside in the exact same way. Anyway, to kick off the American launch of these babies, all Tim Tam cookies are currently on sale at Target. RUSH RUSH RUSH!
DHL U.S.-domestic services to end in January
November 10, 2008 @ 8:17 pm
So long! DHL is suspending U.S.-domestic shipping beginning January 30, 2009. But if you want to ship internationally from the U.S. using DHL, you still can.
DHL is hoping that this move will reduce operating costs for their U.S. Express business 80% (a total savings of about $4.4 billion). Holy crap. What will it do with those savings???
Deal of the Day!
