Gotta clear my tabs! Agh!

DRM group vows to fight bloggers: "Bloggers "crossed the line" when they posted a software key that could break the encryption on some HD-DVDs, the AACS copy protection body has said." The key in question is 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 of course.

The Facebook.com: Big Brother with a smile: "Imagine a computer database which catalogued your entire social network: the email, home address, and sensitive details of all your friends, and consequently, all of their friends in a massive interlinked web. What if this service also archived all of your personal preferences on everything from books to movies to music? And if it also categorized your political views, club associations, previous jobs, educational background, and who you are dating?" And yes, I'm on that database.

Birth of One Parrot: The cute! It slays (thanks, gha5t)!

Mice with a migraine show signs of brain damage: One day, studies show migraines are good for your brains. The next day, studies show migraines are bad for your brains. Either way, they're no fun.

To Treat the Dead: "The new science of resuscitation is changing the way doctors think about heart attacks—and death itself."

Fundies Say the Darnedest Things: Contains such goodies as No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest 'cover' of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims."

The Incredible Edible Anus: Mmm. Chocolate.

Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz: Whimsically morbid snow globe art.

Cults are not the way to lose weight: Losing weight for salvation!

Belly Audition: Another nekkid belly dancer (contains body hair and butt crack).

Skatt Bros. - Life At The Outpost: This music video from 1979 was for the "straight" alternative for The Village People, yet is one of the gayest videos I've ever seen.

And now for a special selection of fitness videos:

Terry Crews: With just 15 reps, you'll have fantastic pecs!

Spare Me My Life: Learn English and get fit all at the same time.

Mariko Takahashi's Fitness Video: " It's a word-for-word parody of Susan Powter's first workout video, featuring poodles and a crazy poodle-woman. Absolutely surreal."

I think fstdt is my new favourite website.

This was my favourite:
"One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.

Most of that shit sounds like it was written by Stephen Colbert.

Re. Facebook, et.al.: Nobody makes you submit that data. Choice is everything. Think about it this way though, if there were no market for power over others then all of this data would be pretty much harmless. This is essentially an argument for dismantling any concentration of gross authority.

Re. Edible Anus: Eew.

Re. Snow Globes: Very neat. I didn't find them all that morbid, except a couple. They are kind of melancholic though, in a way. You're right in that they are very whimsical.

I'm not worried about Facebook. I've posted far more personal information on my website for years.

I'm sure chocolate anuses don't taste any worse than chocolate bars.

Benton Street Baptist Church offered "Get Fit For Jesus" classes in March...do they count as a cult?

I don't understand...what is the appeal of a chocolate anus?

That snow globe art looks like the photographer, Lori Nix's work (http://www.lorinix.net/) in a snow globe. Cool!
