Here's What's Awesome: Giant Stuff, Drag Racing the Police

Did you know that New Hampshire's school awesomeness rate - that is, the rate of students being able to find awesome links - has gone up 23% since the launch of Here's What's Awesome? Statistics don't lie - together, we're making a difference.

Not just limited to balls of twine or Lily Tomlin's rocking chair
There's a foosball table that can accommodate 44 players. There's also a 13 foot tall arcade game, a 10 foot long rifle and, as we see to the right, a catsup bottle in Illinois that's 170 feet tall. Why these exist I don't quite know, but I do know that browsing through Now That's Nifty's World's Largest Stuff gallery will make your existence that much more fun. [via PreSurfer]

They got a thing that's called radar love

Officers say street racing has gone way down since starting Beat the Heat. And it'll probably continue that way, so long as Elwood Blues doesn't show up for a race. [Neatorama]

"I told you I was ill"
That's actually on the tombstone of British comedian Spike Milligan, albeit in Gaelic. LOLGraves collects real and imagined funny epitaphs. My favorite: "In loving memory of Daniel Flynne... Dan found the only wrong way to eat a Reese's." [via Tomorrow Museum]

Now it's your turn: share an awesome link in the comments. We'll be measuring each one to see if any is the world's largest awesome link.
