This book isn't put out by the Soylent company by chance is it? - Joe Pierce

nooooooooooooooooo! - Morgan Haley

Watch it - it's worth three minutes of your day. - Mona N.

Not so much anymore, Sofia... Actually that work culture is partly the reason there is so much corruption. :| - Mona N. via IM

@Mona not saying it's good or bad. It's just that I think it's unfair to directly compare two business cultures that are - in some ways - a world apart. - Sofia Gkiousou

"Sexual intercourse provides but fleeting satisfaction, while chastity offers a better life and "more freedom", the Dalai Lama has said. Conjugal life causes too many "ups and downs", the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader told reporters in a Lagos hotel. "Sexual pressure, sexual desire, actually, I think is short-period satisfaction and, often, that leads to more complication," he said. "Naturally as a human being...some kind of desire for sex comes, but then you use human intelligence to make comprehension that those relationships are always full of trouble."" - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

There may indeed be benefits to sublimating one's sexual drive so that it is expressed as love for all. However, that is a special discipline that not all are called to. Those who are, deserve our support. Those who are not, deserve our support, as well. The only real problem I see with intercourse is when it is used as a weapon, to degrade or exploit or hurt. - Ladybug Heather

It is one of my theories that the more you sacrifice to a theory or an idea, the more attached you grow to that idea and the less likely you are to challenge it or listen to challenges - because it would make you a fool to have sacrificed that much. Religions have implicitely understood it and have always asked people to sacrifice things like certain food, sexual intimacy etc. You might say they gain mana from it ;) - Joelle Nebbe

Hmmmm . . . I never really thought of rick rolling as an insider joke, but I can see how this might spoil it. - Lindsey

omg, the best part was Cheese at the end - "I like rickrolling!!" - Orphan Spinster Librarian

no. it follows the natural progression of early adopter-to-laggard. the so-called mainstream is always the last to get in on something. but i doubt your grandma will get what a 'rickroll' really is. - .LAG

Very Cool! - Jeff P. Henderson

From Wikipedia: "During the 2005 Christmas season, electrical engineer Carson Williams set up a Christmas light show in the front yard, driveway, windows, and roof of his house. It took him about two months and 3,000 lights. The lights were synchronized to the song ["Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra], and the show was free for anyone passing by who tuned to a specific low-power FM frequency on their car radio." - Mark Trapp

Going to see them in Nashville when I visit my parents for Christmas. Can't wait! - Mark Trapp

Nice, although I don't think he's like Adam West - Mirco

awwwwwwwwww bless em! - charlene

i admit, i'm still fascinated by these before and after shots... - Zee. via Bookmarklet

I think she looks ropey in both pictures. I'd prefer the alien model with no belly button. OMG hahahaha from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/mag... "Ms Kurkova has not spoken publicly about how she came to have a smooth navel, and all her agent will say is "she's not an alien"." - Toby Graham

ugh. she looks far better airbrushed. on the cover, she looks awake. in the original, she looks like she didn't sleep after doing shots of tequila. that ain't sexy. and if she had put the curve in her back, the original shot would be more model-esque. the original looks like a bad glamour shot. i think her body size in the original is fine. and her face looks too thin on the cover. but if the choice is between awake and hungover ... - tiffany

"Taking a holiday abroad at Christmas can be expensive, exhausting and time-consuming – and that’s before you even get to the airport. Add to the equation a deepening recession and a weak pound against both the euro and the dollar and it’s hardly worth getting on a plane at all. So this Christmas try a new strategy: holiday at home. After all, one of the world’s greatest cities is on our doorstep. No carbon footprint, no danger of losing your suitcase, no grey hairs over fluctuating exchange rates. This year London is brimming with festive activities, many of which are free. Along with traditional favourites, such as outdoor markets, open-air ice skating and candlelit carol singing, there are more hi-tech options, including a three-dimensional Santa’s grotto, an interactive Christmas light show and club nights on ice." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

I really want to try and get to Somerset House ice rink this year, I missed it last! It's a fantastic place to visit and hopefully come away from in one piece with no broken bones! ;) - Emma

I've skated at Kew Gardens and The Natural History Museum over the last couple of years, Kew Gardens is really nice at night with the buildings lit up and lights in the trees, I've never skated at Somerset House though - Rory

I walked past the Somerset House rink a few years ago but I have never found the time to go, maybe this year. - Arthur Guy

"A man deliberately cut off his own head with a chainsaw because he did not want to give up his repossessed home, an inquest has heard." - Zee. via Bookmarklet

And don't forget http://sadtrombone.com - Grant Fitzgerald

I think a Darwin Award is granted only if the death was unintentional, like he was just trying to scratch his ear and instead chainsawed his head off... - Christopher Galtenberg

That's totally me. I am not normal, and I love it - Shevonne Polastre

But I heard that everyone is always themselves? There is thinking that you are always "you" ? :P - Les Zaldor

So true! - sandhal

Jesus, It's a little early for the "Holy Fucking Shit" Award but this earns it. - tehKenny

Social Darwinism ROCKS - Amanda H.

"From the tracks of the High Line – the derelict elevated railway on New York's Lower West Side currently being transformed into a mile-and-a-half-long "park in the sky" – this most bustling of cities seems suddenly quiet and still. Three storeys above the hubbub of Chelsea – where a few days earlier people had queued round the block to vote for Barack Obama – even the perpetual horns of taxi cabs seem muted, and the only human voices heard are the occasional shouts from workmen. The Hudson river flows gently out towards the skyscrapers of Jersey City. Golfers thwack balls towards the huge nets of Chelsea Piers. ... The line runs through former industrial neighbourhoods now defined by flats, restaurants, nightclubs, art, and fashion, and this area is being transformed by the project. The 2005 re-zoning that approved the park also allowed for new construction alongside the track and last year New York magazine identified an already-emerging "High Line neighbourhood", complete with "glittering retail spaces an - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

it used to be a real cool meeting place for graff artists and bombers from all over the city. the west side near where the tv networks are located was one big graffiti billboard. it was beautiful driving by in a car and being mesmerized by the colours and shapes of the letters. i bet they set up half-caf moccachino stands all over this new "park" - Cee Bee

LOL! I just wish my cockatoo wouldn't FREAK OUT whenever the roomba was on. I would be forever entertained if she would ride it. When I was a kid I used to collect remote controlled cars... I set up perches on them and would "torture" my cockatiels by making them ride around. I think the only reason they did was that they were too afraid to let go when the cars were moving. I used to build "ski lifts" for them as well from their cage to my canopy bed. - Lindsay Donaghe

Cool. Kevin U should hire the Cat, will make a great Digger! ;-) - Igor The Troll

there went 46 seconds of my life that I will never get back - Bob Blunk

"Your wedding day is supposed to be a sweet and special day that you will remember for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, people with no class rarely gain any just because they’re tying the knot" - clarke thomas via Bookmarklet

"Ptolemy Elrington, 43, works full time in his studio crafting shiny dolphins, dogs and dragons from all grades of hub cap - from BMW and Mercedes to Ford and Volvo. He fixes the caps together using wire salvaged from scrap yards and cuts them with a craft knife and hacksaw. Using free materials means the Brighton-based artist only charges customers for labour - at about £75 per day. His most expensive creation was a dragon that used 200 hub caps, measured 10m long, and took over a month to build. It sold for £3,000. Mr Elrington's other pieces, such as lizards, flies and toucans, are just as stunning but cost a few hundred pounds." - RAPatton

amazing creativity - Cee Bee

The pub near me has several of these on the celling, there really impressive - Arthur Guy
