POPSThe Olympic theme music is Leo Arnaud's "Bugler's Dream" For some reason this question has been bugging me -- what's the origin of that little brass fanfare that we all (in the U.S.) recognize as the theme music to the Olympics? Turns out it was written in 1958 by composer Leo Arnaud as part of a film score.

POPSA scarf made to look like bacon! What a great idea! Made of "21.5 micron merino wool" for that luxurious, bacon-on-skin feeling. Unfortunately it's sold out. The creator's comments: "It looks like a real slice of bacon, with all the striations of fat and meat.... Seriously, do a search on 'bacon scarf' and look at the other bacon scarves out there. They use a paltry two colors, and they don’t look as realistic as this!" Wow... The stuff you find on Twitter...

POPSFigure out who took a Flickr photo from the photo URL Sometimes you'll come across a link to a photo hosted at Flickr but not have any idea who took the photo or where to find it on the Flickr site. This method will solve the problem. (Note that you can often also solve it by Googling just the numeric portion of the photo URL, e.g., if you want to find who took the photo hosted here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2237119567_e1e640b249.jpg you could do a Google search for 2237119567.)

POPSStuffed plush bedbug, only $9 This is one of the weirdest concepts in novelty gift items I've ever come across. They also have a flea, a louse, a "bookworm" (actually the larva of a common furniture beetle, a wood-boring beetle), and a very cute dust mite.
