I'm sure that two Iraqi "terrorists" would much rather quit the insurgency, than be forced to find each other irresistible. But the military doesn't like to disrupt the enemy, they like to kill it. See here the quirky, non-lethal Weapons of Mass Disruption that that the pentagon has scrapped. Why? beats me.

Death - the last taboo: The Interactive Autopsy. Requires FLASH. Not gory because all cartoon, the only video is a pathologist explaining the trouble with brains. There is more detailed info on autopsies, autopsy instruments, decomposition, morgues and mortuaries etc, on the associated site. It doesn't, however, tell you which are the best cuts of meat for eating purposes. For that information, I suggest looking into the careers of Ed Gein or good ol' Bert Fish.

Curious, George: I had my car window smashed last night. (SMASH!). Anybody have any experience with getting a car door window replaced? That is, how much should I expect to pay? Is this something I should get the dealer to take care of, or any old glass place? more inside

Moore's action was ceremonial, since Parker took his formal oath of office Thursday before U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in Washington. Parker said Thomas told him a judge should be evaluated by whether he faithfully upholds his oath to God, not to the people, to the state or to the Constitution.

Does Thomas really feel that a Justice should put God over the Constitution or was Parker blowing smoke? Thomas will likely more inside

I know this is on CNN right now, but come on. How does one manage to do this, but not realize it.

Lovely big elephant gets painted - and appears to enjoy it. After all, elephant skin is very sensitive, so they say. Probly lovely tickles. Ky00t.

ESA flubs Titan landing show , probably the "worst PR disaster in the entire history of space travel", says astrophysicist Jeffrey Bell. Dr. Bell also laments The Next Five Big NASA Failures, the Mars Genesis fiasco ("the first time a real mission has copied a bad movie"), and ISS: International Space Scrapyard. Maybe he's the Andy Rooney of the space world, but he does puts forward some thought-provoking ideas.

Pongomania! Wonderfully odd and surreal sculptures.
