Help the scarecrows scare the crows in this beautifully done Flash game: A Murder of Scarecrows. And no… no baby yet. Any day now. No — any minute now.

Be warned: this is not for everyone. But a few of you might like to know that the soundtrack to Silence! Silence of the Lambs: The Musical is available for downloading. Even the show-stopping duet between Buffalo Bill and Catherine, Put the F’ing Lotion in the Basket, is there.
