Who is Looking at Whom

The Oatmeal's comic of gym looker's and coveting.

Although, at my gym, it is mostly empty, with a few guys wandering around mostly pretending to work out while on the phone.

Jerky Panties!

Dried meat makes these edible Paleo panties a tasty treat. This valentines day give your significant other a truly unique gift.

100% edible and 100% meat, they are so easy to make a cavemen could do it!

Leave it to Instructables to set up a good omnomnom holiday. That sounds dirty.

T-Rex Trying...

T-Rex Trying... a awesome little tumblr site of cartoons of poor short armed failing activities. But look how happy he is with the ukulele!

Mud Run DFW

So rather than the Color Run, a group of people from work and I are going to go do the Original Mud Run instead. I've been thinking about doing one of these for a while now, it's nice to actually have it planned. And as of today, registered.

If you want to watch the video, skip to about 1:12, unless you really just like to watch some people not doing anything with some inspirational music.

Eat Less Meat

They found a 29% increase in pancreatic cancer risk for men eating 120g per day of red meat but no increased risk among women. This may be because men in the study tended to eat more red meat than women.

"If diet does affect pancreatic cancer then this could influence public health campaigns to help reduce the number of cases of this disease developing in the first place."

"Regardless of this latest research, we have already established a strong link between eating red and processed meat and your chances of developing bowel cancer, which is why WCRF [World Cancer Research Fund] recommends limiting intake of red meat to 500g cooked weight a week and avoiding processed meat altogether."

Why Are Smart People Ugly?

Why are smart people usually ugly? I get this isn't always the case, but there does seem to be a correlation. Attractiveness doesn't predict intelligence (not all ugly people are smart), but it seems like intelligence can be a good predictor for attractiveness (smart people are usually on the ugly side). Keep in mind, I have nothing against people who are really brilliant, I've just always wondered.

The answer: They’re not.

Oh, how the Explainer loves a false premise.

Infiltrate

Six Daleks are en route to NASA’s Stennis Space Center disguised as "space shuttle engines"
NASA says they're "Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne engines" from space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis... but we think they look an awful lot like incognito Dalek shipping containers.
The agency says the "engines" are being shipped from Florida's Kennedy Space Center to Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, where they will be repurposed for use on NASA's next generation heavy lift rocket: the Space Launch System (SLS). When it's completed, NASA says the SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever built, and capable of taking us deeper into space than ever before.

Tell me a powerful, deep-space rocket isn't the perfect hiding place for a Dalek sextet.
