Marathons are hard. Ultramarathons (races of 50 to 3100 miles) are harder. Running a million miles is.. insane.

At what point does a business meeting go so bad that someone says "Let's bring in a Scantily Leather Clad Dom Clown to be our Meeting Facilitator"?

God, the tension is everywhere. I haven't committed to a side, but I have an inclination. I don't have much time. Is this insanity? Or does man's factionalism serve a higher purpose? Nevermind. Definitely insanity.

Let's be grateful that the Vacuum Tube Midget and Mr. Big Transistor Head didn't make the final cut of Tron and that the cut scenes from Dune can be found on the extended version.

Back in the stone age of recording, music was recorded on wax cylinders. Since mass production techniques had yet to be developed, performers often recorded the same songs hundreds or even thousands of times. George Washington Johnson probably held the record with The Laughing Song.

Physical resemblences aside, Bruce Sterling isn't apt to be confused with perpetual Hollywood Squares guest Bruce Vilanch anytime soon. While Vilanch may be reknowned in some circles for his comedic stylings on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards show, Sterling is a member of the cyberpunk literary genre who published the seminal guide to hacker culture: "Hacker Crackdown". In 1998, he delivered a now famous speech that launched the Viridian movement -- dedicated to promoting a radical environmentally-conscious theory of industrial design inspired by Viridian's 'Cybergreen' beliefs.

Who's really running the world? Secret satanic "internationalists" or hideous bipedal iguanas? Perhaps we should be more worried about becoming CIA sex slaves.

What is more sexy? The idea of being swallowed whole, or incredibly limber pretzel people?
to Sex by fatherdan
Polythelia is the medical term for having more than two nipples. It can occur in men and women, and the extra nipples are usually vertically aligned with the normal two, despite how they are portrayed in the movies. They were long thought to be the mark (or Marky Mark) of a witch, but they can now be safely removed to avoid being burned at the stake. Eventually I found two pages with somewhat dubious statistics about polythelia, but the best information about it for a layperson such as myself can be found at Nerve.

I don't drink, but I hear drinking games can be fun. Even George Dubbya Bush has one. I'd rather collect $200 and eat one chocolate house.

I'll never use another chippy-breaky CD "jewel" case again, now that I found instructions on making an origami CD case: 19K GIF; 24K PDF -- from the web site of some mathematician who does neat origami.
