JoPo getting me ready to ponder this weekend:
Best Springsteen love song?
Who is worse: Costner or Cruise?
And that’s what makes them intriguing … if you have someone you have never liked in anything, say someone like Pauly Shore, then there’s really nothing to argue about. But Costner and Cruise are interesting and worth arguing about [...]

Last night, walking through the fog of my neighborhood from the ATM to my apartment, this song on my iPod made me feel as if this mundane errand was somehow cinematic/grandiose.

The US Gov’t reportedly spent 7.5 million dollars trying to develop a gay bomb, proposed by the US Air Force in 1994, that would include a two pronged attack on enemy soldiers:
Include a chemical to make them gay.
Include an aphrodisiac so they would drop their arms & pants.

Bob Holmes at New Scientist reports:
Fruit flies have free will. Even when deprived of any sensory input to react to, the zigs and zags of their flight reveal an intrinsic, non-random – yet still unpredictable – decision-making capacity.

Some people had been asking me if it has sunk in that I’ll be getting married / have I had any jitters / etc… No real jitters that I can think of (maybe still time for that).
But I think realizations are starting so sink in, now that I’ve just decided that it’s OK to throw [...]

I found the site WeddingSutra.com1 thanks to Meggan’s celebrity wedding cake post. I’m still trying to figure out if this “10 Things Men Don’t Know about Women” is a joke, but I fear it is not…

I bet you thought sparse postings meant I was saving up for some massive, unified theory blogpost that would bring the world to it’s knees. Instead you get this link ’splaining that the Dead Kennedys still aren’t the Dead Kennedys (even though they are)*.

It’s long been a joke that Omaha and the rest of Nebraska’s greatest export has been brainpower. I don’t know if I’m the exception that proves the rule, or the rule that proves the exception, or possibly both/neither as I’ve never understood what that phrase means exactly (possibly proving the rule).

Sony to launch gay record label “Music With A Twist”
My favorite quote:
Mr Faber likened the gay label to being similar to other niche ventures, such as hip hop and urban music
