PLASTICS LINKED TO QUEERNESS! Phthalates (try pronouncing that Christopher Lowell) "could cause women to give birth to boys with female characteristics. Their research found shrunken genitals and less masculine behaviour in babies." If there's anything I like in babies, it's masculine behavior.

Today on asciiartfarts.com... I check this everyday, and today's just seemed perfect for the current state of the internet. So very very true. Also look at the bottom of the page for various running ascii art gags. more inside

The beverage tasting institute, (the organization that is cited in Grey Goose vodka advertisments) has a website, listing their ratings of beers, ciders, wines, liquors and mixes of all sorts. It's search function reveals that there are a great number of spirits which, although not widely marketed, have tested superior to more expensive and common choices. Nemiroff premium deluxe vodka, for instance, is the second highest rated vodka in tests, despite being under $20 a bottle. I can personally vouch for the quality of this vodka. more inside

Curious George: Tactlessness Curious George: The pope thread reminded me of a rule I have learned in life: in polite conversation, one must never discuss politics, religion or money. So, for fun, why don't we all go around and list our political views, our religious beliefs and how much money we make every year. It will be a glorious experiment.

Not to be the guy who links to his favorite band, but New Order has a new album coming out soon. It is called Waiting For The Sirens' Call and from what I have heard so far, it will be fantastic - maintaining the groups fascinating ability to rock out with their well established ability to kick it old school (they did, of course, invent old school.) Both hardcore fans and people who aren't yet cool enough to know who New Order are will both be thrilled. Oh, by the way, check out the special edition New Order iPod. COOLNESS OVERLOAD. more inside

Random images. One of the most honest looks into the nature of the internet - the vast majority of images randomly sampled from the internet are pornographic or lame.

LEISURE TOWN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG The best comic on the internet, once dead, is now BACK!

Digitized Michelangelo. In a previous post I alluded to the unique techniques being used to digitally preserve different sorts of art objects. The 'Digital Michelangelo Project' has done a 3D scan of Michelangelo's David and a handful of other sculptures.

Schwarzenegger wants to ban junk foods in schools. I for one applaud Mr. Negger's efforts. Some people might say that although you can take the fat, obnoxious, talentless child out of the junk food aisle, you can't take the junk food aisle out of the fat, obnoxious, talentless child. To that I say: cock and bosh. It's really nice to see someone standing up to the better interests of children, even if we do dislike them on some level.

Revolved (.torrent). For those of us already tired with those three Kleptones albums (the Detroit to JA mashup, the Queen mashup and the Flaming Lips mashup) I recommend CCC's Revolved album, which combines the Beatles' Revolver with a bunch of other crap. A fun listen, but in my mind not much more than a novelty next to A Night at the Hip-Hopera or Revolver for that matter. They mess with the guitar on She Said, She Said way too much - the highlight of the original album for me.

Patterns! Beautiful patterns! Remember Mac OS 6? Remember making patterns pixel by pixel with your choice of 8 colors? This is sort of like that but way cooler. I was just using some on my webthing and thought I'd share. Also, check these out.

Inquisitive Imp: Pornography Club. Some enterprising members of my school just started a pornography club, for fun and laughs and for the promotion of openess about our disgusting barbie doll-like-bodies. I was wondering if any monkeys had any input about what sort of things we could do to promote this club to make it as inclusive and fun as possible. more inside

Wondering Monkey: I run part of a small website devoted to information useful to students attending my (northeast art) school. Specifically, I have been charged with the task of writing new and entertaining polls to draw people into the site. To give you an idea of what I mean, look here. I was just wondering if any helpful apes had any ideas for an entertaining or interesting poll I could use.
