Today's Amazing Word That I Learned Today Is "Greeble".
It looks like you pronounce it to rhyme with feeble, but Adam Savage pronounces it more like "greeb-lee", so I'm not sure. A greeble is a piece of a plastic model kit that you use as a pointless texturing element on another model. Or more generically, any pit of pointless texturing added to the surface of a model.

Nyan Cat is only from 2011!
I mean, yikes. I thought it was one of those early 2000s Newgrounds-era flash video memes. You really do learn something new every day...

The face of former Canadian Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier is similar enough to Mr. Spock that some people deface Canadian five-dollar bills to make Laurier look like Spock.
The government even changed the picture of Laurier on the bill to a less Spock-like version in response.

Occasionally Stuart Ashen prefaces a video review of an '80s-related object with a snippet from the song "Secrets From the Night".
Given that there are many '80s songs I'm not familiar with, I thought it was legit. But no.... It was made specifically for the video to sound like an '80s song. Amazing...

I've known about most of the Star Trek/Gargoyles connections for years, but today I stumbled upon a new one...
Eliza's parents, Peter and Diane Maza, are named after married couple Peter Morwood and Diane Duane, both writers for both the Gargoyles series and Star Trek novelists in their own right. I confess to knowing little of Peter, never having read his solo Trek novel. Diane is a different story entirely. I've read quite a few of her novels and in particular recommend her Rihannsu series if you want to read a different version of the Romulan empire, albeit one that goes completely off the rails of canon.

Today's new word is "Disneybounding": dressing in the clothes of a Disney character without it being a complete cosplay. No makeup, no masks, no props, just clothes.
You can do your own image search, there's some real creativity out there.

Not all "amazing" things are good. For example...
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Adventure in Tinker Town As a diehard Chitty fan, I am appalled. I know it's not the Link thread, but here are some links anyway... Chitty as a Transformer The Mario cast ride Chitty Brain Blessed as Baron Bomburst on stage I never knew there was such a thing as "steampunk minstrels" either, but there are, so enjoy! Hushabye Mountain cover by Jason Manford Title theme sung in Japanese Title theme on an organ (I can totally see this song being played in a carousel...) Somewhat playful orchestral version of the title theme
