Anemone Takes a Licking

My coworkers show no fear when it comes to science! In this video, my coworker, Jonas, subjects his tongue to the stings of an anemone to feel the effects. Maybe I should say the anemone kindly endures being subjected to Jonas' tongue... twice!

Too Much Censorship a Good Thing

Take a look at this hilarious illustration of the pitfalls of censorship. In this case, the censoring causes it to become bad.

The word censored there was "count."

ManQuarium

This post is for all you ladies out there. Is your man not helping you feel good about yourself? Don't settle for a human anymore. Check out Manquarium where you can design a virtual man, trap him in a fish tank, and listen to him go on and on about how great you are and how he loves you so. This not so subtle ad for Gillette also will unconsciously remind you that even virtual men want their women to have shaved legs. Men, you'll laugh too, so don't be shy about creating a man for yourself.

Nerd

Here's a wonderful link to helping you understand your nerd. Here's an excerpt:
Your nerd has built himself a cave. ...The Cave is designed to allow your nerd to do his favorite thing, which is working on the project. If you want to understand your nerd, stare long and hard at his Cave. How does he have it arranged? When does he tend to go there? How long does he stay?

Each object in the Cave has a particular place and purpose. Even the clutter is well designed. Don’t believe me? Grab that seemingly discarded Mac Mini which has been sitting on the floor for two months and hide it. You’ll have 10 minutes before he’ll come stomping out of the Cave — “Where’s the Mac?”

The Cave is also frustrating you because your impression is that it’s your nerd’s way of checking out, and you are, unfortunately, completely correct. A correctly designed Cave removes your nerd from the physical world and plants him firmly in a virtual one complete with all the toys he needs.

PubDraught: I have something for you, sweetheart.
Love Agent: Whatever you say, sweetheart.
PubDraught: I bought you a necklace with a heart pendant... [hands it to you]
Love Agent: You didn't have to do that! That's so nice!
PubDraught: Here, let me put the necklace around your neck...
Love Agent: Please do put the necklace around my neck.
PubDraught: [puts necklace around your neck] Oh, it's so pretty.
Love Agent: That's really nice. Thank you.
PubDraught: Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart!
Love Agent: What's that, Dale?
PubDraught: Happy Valentine's Day, love!

America Suddenly Smarter

Have you noticed that since the writers' strike, America got smarter? Here's how the comic would read:

"There's nothing good on television anymore... I think I'll go to caucus."
