• Kobi Levi designs shoes as wearable sculpture: elephants! swans! banana slippers! (via the fabulous Gail-Nina)


• Martin Simpson tweets: "Edinboro' Zoo was splendid. The Pandas slept in separate beds. The Gelada baboons neither slept nor used beds. Thus many baboons no Pandas."


• Hull Museum has a collection of Billy and Charleys.


• One for gillpolack: Unicorn Cookbook Found at the British Library (via Making Light, who are not entirely impressed)


• Spitalfields Life, the blog: "In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London..." and persuaded the neighbours to tell me about their lives
