Links and Musings

[highlyeccentric]

Item The First: Why would anyone *want* to do this to their cheeks? Is it supposed to be attractive, to look like you've starved all the flesh off your face?

Item The Second: apparently, given the opportunity for custom-fit condoms, most men order condoms shorter than the standard supermarket issue... but why doesn't it surprise me that TheyFit's sizing chart for these condoms starts at "long" and continues on to "longer"?

Item The Third: IgNobel Prize awarded for the discovery that the technical design for the automobile is encoded in the Bible. Kudos to goblinpaladin for finding this story.

Item The Fourth, also from the Goblin: Let's Go After the Buddhists - an important statement on the integrity of American society these days.
Those humanistic, non materialistic, pacifistic slugabeds!
They're egoless and nonviolent, unAmerican and weird,
they just sit and stare at the wall, and their God doesn't even have a beard!

Item The Fifth: owlfish reports on excellent hotel poetry in Germany.

Item The Sixth: Afghanistan's Next First Top Model rather cool, if you ask me.

Item The Seventh: Hover your mouse over this XKCD strip until the superscript comes up.
While we're at it... XKCD on Nerd Girls

Item the Last: Modern Society

I love that guy in your Fourth item, even though he exacerbates my self-loathing American complex!
