Yes, if you looked out your window last night you experienced the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. We're going to venture to say that this year, the most gorgeous photo of last night's Supermoon you will see is the one above, taken by Flickr photographer Don Kittle. It shows birds silhouetted against the stunning moon. "Went out to Humber Bay bridge (in Toronto, Canada) tonight to shoot the moon," he writes. "There were lots of birds over the harbour so I just waited patiently...
A patient matchstick artist has painstakingly recreated this stunning replica of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Patrick Acton, 59, used 298,000 matchsticks and a whopping 55 litres of wood glue to assemble the 7.5ft long by 5ft high (2.3m x structure.

Things don’t go as smoothly in other languages around the world, which have had to adapt to the now-ubiquitous...
"Here she is - the iPad HD! Er, new iPad," says Engadget. Right! Wait - what? Yes, the new iPad is not being called the iPad 3 but just the new iPad. You know, like they did for the New Testament. "Breaking away from the numerical tracking system used before (and still used in the iPhone range), Apple has decided to highlight the most major change in its newest slate by simply dubbing it 'new.' " Everybody cheer on the count of three: One. Two. Yay. Three. Couldn't hold it in! The denumbering...
In this cartoon from The Daily Telegraph, Christian Adams uses the 'going off a cliff' metaphor (see here, here, and here for other examples) to comment on Germany's changing attitude to the Greek debt crisis.
In the top two panels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel tries to warn Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos that he is walking towards the cliff edge. Merkel seems genuinely alarmed. However, when Papademos carries on walking on air rather...
