A round-up of hehful things from the Internet:

• Friends Trapped In An iPhone - Photojojo highlights a technique for taking contact photos of your friends that make it look like they're trapped inside the iPhone when they call you. I thought about including a photo but it's much better revealed after a click. [via Projectionist by way of Gregg]
  
• The Original iPhone - Circa 1984.
  
• Dramatic Chipmunk: Director's Cut - Here's the original source clip(sans suspenseful music) that the dramatic chipmunk must have come from. And another origin revealed -- decades before icanhascheezburger there were the classic Laugh-Out-Loud Cats in the funny pages.
  
• One Way To Get People To Your Conference - Get your company to send you to Rich Web Experience 2007, go home with a free iPod Video or Wii. [also via Gregg]
  
• Coolest Dog Costume Ever - [via Josh]
  
• Blood Puddle Pillows - Red velvet pillows in the organic, spilly shapes of pooled blood. Not nearly as gruesome as it sounds, and the photo gallery really sells it. Doesn't look all that comfortable, though.
  
• The Internet Crash of 2007 - an The Onion News Network special report. "Although the internet did restart, Tipton found that all data had been lost." "I feel like control-alt-deleting myself."
