Solipsist
This is one of the most beautiful and weird things I’ve seen all year. It’s an experimental film where two people start sprouting exotic tentacles and feathers like exotic birds or sea anemone.
How to make lottery tickets a good bet
Look for state lotteries that frequently roll over a few times without gaining much publicity (and thus spiking ticket sales), avoid lucky numbers and slightly favor numbers near the edge of the ticket. Your chance of winning is as miniscule as ever, but if your number does come up, you’ll likely split your pot with far fewer people.
“In Defense of Sluts”
Rush Limbaugh’s comments against Sandra Fluke is obviously outrageous and indefensible. But from another angle…why is it that we need this person who is a perfect victim to be our standard bearer? Sandra Fluke happens to have a really conservative persona personally, making Limbaugh’s comments absurd, but we have to be careful we don’t defend Fluke in such a way that we accept Limbaugh’s premise that there is something intrinsically shameful in female promiscuity.
Pink Slime!
If you’re eating ground beef, you’re probably eating some pink slime. That is the not-so-technical term for protein isolated from fatty meat scraps and treated with ammonia. It’s mixed in your ground beef as a filler. I’m trying to be rational about this…after all, I don’t see any evidence that consuming pink slime is any more deleterious than your usual ground chuck…but it just sounds gross.
Finally, XKCD, keep being awesome.
