Big Ben, the London clock tower, Westminster Palace clock tower bell, has a Twitter account. Online, it says the same thing it has always said in real life. The account was opened as a statement on the banality of Twitter, but Big Ben now has over six thousand followers! Come to think of it, this IS handy if you want to know what time it is in London.

Now I want one of these knives for Halloween

@roger: how did they get the knives to go through their flesh near then end? The knife looked as though it was wedged up against the bone!
There's a segment near the hilt of the knife, a crescent-shaped cutout with a spring-loaded plate of metal within the knife body. If you press it down around your arm, the plate retracts. I've seen butcher knifes with this mechanism at magic stores, but this mainly works as a stage effect as you can see the cutout line up close.
How sad.
