- You're after my robot bee!
- Harvard got a $10 million grant to build a colony of robot bees. Sure, they're resistant tot he beepocalypse. But consider what happens when someone gets thr bright idea to start putting cameras on them. Are you prepared?
- Marvel fails, again.
- "Sexy" Halloween costumes. That look nothing like the charcater's outfits at all. One of them is for a character that doesn't exist. Well, okay, the Emma Frost one is pretty accurate.
- Five Comic Book Costumes for Women that Won't Turn You Into a Sex Object
- Also includes five costumes for men that *will* get you objectified.
- Wanna pet zebra?
- Scientists work on the genetics of domestication. StB: don't read this story. They do things to rats you won't like.
- The Power of Hypnosis
- Scientists propose using hypnosis to study various hysterical disorders (hysterical blindness, etc.) Based on thier tests, I am probably hypnotisable. Someone call King Mob.
- Out Of Body Experiences
- Brains freak me out.
- Google Street View roundup
- The Torontoist finds amusing things on Google street view in Toronto.

Point form post!
- Spent time sewing last night. Made myself a pocket full of fail. The snaps were too loose (apparently they need a reinforcing layer of fabric), and I mounted them too low on the pocket back. And the straps I made, planning to turn them inside out, did not turn inside out. I cut a new pocket back, straps and reinforcing strips, and will take another shot at pouches tonight.
- When I'm waiting for code to compile, etc., I am geeking out about White Wolf's Scion. Anyone know of a good site for Norse words/phrases?
- Yesterday, I woke up at 4:30 am with a splitting headache, and couldn't get back to sleep. I woke up at 4:30 again today, but no headache, so I passed out again. My body is trying to recalim the lost sleep from yesterday. Horrible chemistry has been invoked.
- I also need to remember to go through my sarongs some night this week and see which ones need to have ties added.
- According to the Weather network, the forecast temperatures for Fest is now NaN C, for the entire 14 days.
- As further evidence of my neural degredation, I find I am growing to quite like Old Krupnik.
- I need a vacation.
Good:
Subaru Forester commercial featuring a gang of scantiy clad people washing a car and acting all "sexy"? Why would I say this is good? Because the sexy people in the commercial are not models or cheerleaders. They are sumo wrestlers.
Bad:
I couldn't find a youtube link for this one. The super 7 lottery has been running a series of commercials featuring thier super hero team, the Super Seven. The heroes help people who have won millions find ways to enjoy thier wealth - buying a race car, quitting your job via marching band, etc. Five of the seven are men, and one of the women is named "Cosmetica". Seriously. Because, of course, women can't think of anything better to do with millions of dollars besides buying makeup. Or possibly plastic surgery.
