A few fun links from my hiatus:
"
A multi-national team of biologists has concluded that developmental evolution is deterministic and orderly, rather than random, based on a study of different species of roundworms."
They accomplished this by studying minute vatiations in roundworm vulvas. Imagine the date potential in that profession- "What do you do?" "I study invertebtate cunts. No, wait, come back..."
Carnegie Mellon neuroscientist proposes new theory of brain flexibilityThe theory explains how the brain compensates for damage from injuries such as stroke. Nice model, could take in more on other work in neural plasticity.
Brainsturbrator, always a mensh, offers, "
10 Ways YOU Can Fight Fascism Around the World" This is good basic survival meme-kit.
I am sure the tale of "
Mayor Resigns, Claims Abduction By Satan Worshippers" will run and run...
Technoccult's brief but provoking piece on vaule judgements in occultism - which is not entirely cynical but does offer the now-stolen term for most art in Newage shops, "ooh-ahh pictures", which I think should be more sung than enunciated. In a high, mystic, Stevie Nicks kind of "ooh-aah!!!" stylee.
Latest sign of the End Times - Dog perfume.
IdiotToys News is there.
Penultimate End Times sign -
Rose back on Doctor Who (for 3 or 4 eps?), official. Click will lead to new DW season spoilers, most of which are rubbish except for the bit about
the Sontarans, which I think could be fun. Always liked those big deflating-headed buggers.
And finally... an elegant expression masculine pain. Not at feminists, loss of jobs or status or even at foofie. At
accidentally getting Deep Heat on your bollocks. He wax most elegantly on the subject. Coments display some nice delayed-minimal-responses too.
And I'm spent!
