Here's What's Awesome: Return My Pants, YouTube in Four Minutes

I don't have any hard data on this, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the universe (or maybe just my universe) spent the past week apple picking. And apple picking is a lot like the awesome link picking we do at Here's What's Awesome. You search and search from place to place to get just the right one. Then, ten minutes later, you've got eighteen pounds of the stuff and wonder how the heck you're going to use it all up in time.

Do people really loan out their pants?
If they do, the internet might just keep borrowed pants from wrecking a friendship. ReturnMyPants is a free lending tracker - meaning that when you loan out pants, or a book, or your copy of Virginia Prescott sings the Great American Songbook - the site can send you and/or the borrower e-mail reminders that he/she has something of yours, thus lessening the fear of a pantsless future.

The solar powered squire just came out to mow his lawn
Want to make lawn care a little greener, but without having to push your life away with a manual mower? Maybe this solar-powered lawnmower will do the trick. The one drawback, of course, is that some of us apparently live in places that get no sun, so we'll just have to keep pushing...

From Astley to Zerg Rush
Some folks have stayed away from the whole YouTube universe, hoping that short-lived fads, video diaries and badly edited Heroes montages might have little staying power. If you're one of them, and you've decided it's time to get back into the groove after all, we've got just the thing for you: a four minute recap of pretty much every bit of YouTube cultural impact. Keyboard Cat, Obama Girl, Mentos and Diet Coke, and like 700 people falling over and hurting themselves. (Turn the sound down a bit before playing, it's a bit loud - just not all the way down)

Now it's your turn: share an awesome link in the comments. Or share an apple.
