– AlterNet: Why Being Smart Won’t Get You Laid
Wrong, nerd. So, so, so, utterly wrong. The most brilliant people I know are also the most perverted. And whenever someone starts going off on an evolutionary psychology tangent, I immediately tune out.
The author’s suggestion to “loosen up” can work if...

This cover of Stand By Me was recorded by completely unknown artists in a street virtual studio all around the world. It all started with a base track—vocals and guitar—recorded on the streets of Santa Monica, California, by a street musician called Roger Ridley. The base track was then taken to New Orleans, Louisiana, where Grandpa Elliott—a blind singer from the French...
I Miss The Sound of Dot Matrix Printers
(via katieschenk)
come visit us at MLB.com. As technologically advanced as we are (and we are), for some reason we still use a Dot Matrix to print out cable labels.
no one knows why, really…
Ted: The three-days rule is insane, I mean, who even came up with that?
Barney: Jesus.
Marshall: Barney. Don't do this. Not with Jesus.
Barney: Seriously. Jesus started the whole 'wait three days' thing. He waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect. If he would have only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard that he died. They'd be all 'hey, Jesus. What up?' And Jesus would probably be like 'What up? I died yesterday.' And then they would be all 'Uh. You look pretty alive to me, dude,' And then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected and how it was a miracle. And then the dude would be all like 'uh, ok, whatever you say, bro.'
Robin: Wow. Ancient dialogue sounds all stilted now.
Barney: And he's not going to come back on a Saturday. Everybody's busy. Doing chores. Working the loom. Trimming their beards. No, he waits the exact right number of days. Three.
Ted: Ok, I promise. I'll wait three days. Just please stop talking.
Barney: Plus it's Sunday. So everyone's in church already. They're all in there 'Oh no, Jesus is dead.' And then BAM, He burst through back door. Runs up the aisle. Everyone is totally psyched, And by the way, that's when he invented the high-five. Three days, We wait three days to call a woman because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait. True story.

well.
I guess I can't argue with the jesus (or the Barney Stinson).
"Assassination Tree"

This ginkgo tree in downtown Decatur, IL was planted on the day Abraham Lincoln died - April 15th, 1865.
Jack Evans, 83 and my grandpa, nerds out on it.

What an awful idea.
“A plane circling Lower Manhattan escorted by two fighter jets is part of a ‘photo op.”
Lauren and Melissa, I think you’re taking these photo excursions a bit too far.

Geosmin (a.k.a. "the rain smell") →
jessk: whitetumbles:(via Gus Mueller)
Geosmin, which literally translates to “earth smell”, is an organic compound with a distinct earthy flavour and aroma, and is responsible for the earthy taste of beets and a contributor to the strong scent that occurs in the air when rain falls after a dry spell of weather (petrichor).
The human nose is extremely sensitive to geosmin and is able to detect it...

we could all look like action figures!
if anyone knows someone looking for a human test subject to be turned into a cyborg, I’m all kinds of ready and willing.
I don’t want a killing machine, though — I just want better vision and maybe crazy mad hops.

Amazing Super Slow-Mo HD Video
I’d like to be able to view the world in slow-motion.
then I’d be able to run fast like the Flash, and maybe even vibrate through walls. (though I’d probably be too nervous to try the wall thing.)

what's a t-pain?
I just watched Away From Her and basically fell in love with Julie Christie’s character.
Between this and my love of 60s music (not to mention my general distaste for staying out late and being around the youths), I haven’t ruled out the possibility that I am, in fact, 80 years old.

Spanking 'brings couples together' →
livejamie:
“Spanking is stressful at first, but it could bring consenting couples closer together. That’s the implication of two studies of hormonal changes associated with sadomasochistic (S&M) activities including spanking, bondage and flogging.”
spanking perhaps, but I doubt I’m gonna go for the flogging.
