Say goodbye to one size fits all. Commoditization used to mean bland uniformity, but these days it's going the other way. Now answer me this question: why do computers only come in two colors?

German TV Commercial for new Coffee energy drink.. TOO FUNNY

Curious George: why are the Democrats and Kerry so inept at capitalizing on Bush's weaknesses. It's very frustrating to see Kerry struggling (personally, I don't like him but you know, ABB) with this SBVT issue when Bush is so vulnerable in so many areas. more inside

It's the weekend, so you might need a 21st Century Drinker Kit.

Um, I dunno, fifty.....ish? How well can you estimate things you know nothing (more or less) about? more inside

A lovely home, available now. If you quickly found the difference between those infernal bunny pictures, you'll do well here, too.

Run the campaign in your own universe! Likethe stolid, torpid intelligence of Kerry? Prefer the blithe, smug insouciance of Bush? Want to live in an alternate universe where you can guarantee their electoral victory with a simple flash game? This link is for you! more inside

No flying cars and no space meals? The future is really not what you expected it to be. The designers at NEC share with you their vision of the near-future: networked gadgets all more futuristic than the others.

Curious George: Metalmouth *I'm almost embarrassed to ask, but i'll ask anyways* Adults and braces and dating and intimacy... I've been wearing braces for about 6 months now, and i'm extremely self conscious. I realise i've stopped smiling and tend to cover my mouth with my hand quite a bit when i talk. I also realise that i havent been on a date since i started wearing braces. Any correlation? Are men put off by braces? And a second question in the same vein. Can one kiss properly with braces? As for "plo chops" i sincerely doubt any man would want his ding dong near my choppers unless he wants to be (re)circumcised. But i'll ask anyways. Have any of u males dared brave a metal mouth bj? Is it even possible?

David who? I haven't seen the hearing of Australian David Hicks, accused of terrorism, covered by American media much at all. Considering it's got (more) claims of abuse against the guards at Camp X-Ray, detainment for 2 years without charges being laid, and other media favourites, why hasn't it received more US coverage? more inside

Curious George: Parables for the Limbaugh masses? I have been wondering whether short, interesting parables, koans, thought exercises, or allegories exist that might give a conservative guy like my dad or one of my Limbaugh-listenin' friends something meaty to mull over. more inside
