What interesting 'X of the day' RSS feeds do you read?
Ideally all the information would be contained in the feed itself, without needing to open a web page to get the rest of the information.
I've seen this past question, but the OP was not interested in word/quote of the day sites, I'm open to anything.

Slate has a section called Today's Pictures, which always has wonderful photos.

Response by poster: Thanks to all who have answered so far. Not all the links given have RSS feeds though, and some others with pictures aren't directly in the RSS feed.
I'd also be interested in great Quote, Word, Fact, Thought, Joke of the day feeds as well as any that help you to learn a language.

Oh, sorry the funny ads are not viewable in the rss feeds, but the CC jokes are. Google Reader throws out a lot of good looking suggestions when you just search for "of the day".

I always feel like it connects me to the rest of the world so much better than reading headlines.
