The Best of the Churn, Issue #3
URL: http://monkeyfist.com/DailyChurn
By Dru Oja Jay


   Interesting, funny, quirky, and always eclectic links have graced
   the pages of the Daily Churn on a regular, one might say daily,
   basis. It's been four months since the previous installment of the
   Best of the Churn, making this one a beast to compile. Due to the
   number of URLs collected, I've split them into categories, making it
   easier to find stuff. Within categories, links are presented
   chronologically, which makes for something of a highly subjective
   four-month retrospective.
