MSNBC: Welcome to the past

MSNBC just relased an article hailing the Montana Meth Project. Unfortunately, no mention whatsoever was made the the creator, Darren Arokonfsky. Just saying instead how hard hitting they are instead.

MSNBC, I just want to welcome you to May 2007. They came out months ago. Hell, I even posted about these before, and I'm normally a little behind the times.

I think we're getting all their rain right now

A new report says as many as 50 million people could be displaced over the next decade by encroaching deserts, especially in parts of Africa and Asia.

...But why would anyone care? The people displaced would be not white Americans or Western Europeans. So why would they matter?

Always wanted my own dorky home accessories

Mac dock icons as pillows. With addition of scary afro-man. Yes, you too can have your own Apple pimp to cuddle with. Or, in his own words: "Jump on the bed for the true "dock effect" "

Wooden Robot Toys!

"Takeji Nakagawa is a master woodcraft toy maker with a passion and dedication to his works. His small company and workshop called Take-G toys uses a process called Yosegi-Mokuzougan, or joined wooden block construction, where combinations of different kinds of woods, with different colors and textures, are combined to express artistic patterns."

Health Industry vs Gadgetry

Michael Moore is a dumbass. Granted, I enjoy his docudramas. I remember seeing Roger and Me years ago, long before Bowling for Columbine and his subsequent fame came about. The man can make you do a double take on a subject you had already decided on or didn't care to think about. But to say that AT&T and Apple are trying to make your new movie fail because the release date of the iPhone coincides with opening day of Sicko? Ridiculous.

Because as we all know, correlation and causation are the same. And coming up with excuses why no one goes to see your movie before it even comes out is both manly and self confident.

Cure?

A small number of people in other high-risk groups, including some homosexuals and spouses of infected hemophiliacs, have shown resistance to infection. But the Nairobi prostitutes, so frequently exposed to the virus for so many years, provide the strongest evidence yet that people can have a natural immunity to AIDS. If the cause of that protection can be identified, it could spur efforts to develop a vaccine.

..welcome to the world....

Things to do in the country

It may look like the latest aliens to land on our planet have been drinking and driving, but these bizarre patterns, discovered in a corn field in Holland, have a much more mundane explanation.

They were made by a drug user who was attempting to escape from police in his father's car. The man had been using cocaine.
