I just saw an article about a new employee cafeteria Apple is building. A “news” article.
Someone needs to tell all the Apple fanboys out there where their obsession ends and real news begins.

When I become Supreme Ruler of the world, my first order of business will be to outlaw sandwich makers who put my vegetables in the middle of my sub. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FOLD IT? You aren’t. Damn it. You aren’t.

I had to go the the circus this afternoon for a work thing. It’s probably been the better part of two decades since I’ve been to one, so my perspective has changed a bit. (Namely, “Ooo, tigers and elephants!” is no longer my primary thought. Though they are neat.)
I have a hard time believing that the animal portions are particularly justified. I’ve read posts by Jerry Coyne (which I don’t care to search out) where he has said he dislikes zoos and (if I recall correctly) is against them. 
I don’t go quite that far because, while improvements can always be made for general and specific conditions, I can see the upside. The animals have food and shelter whilst simultaneously providing a great learning experience for the public. Circuses, however, don’t come with that benefit. They certainly provide food and shelter, but there is hardly a decent learning experience to be had. What’s more, I find it impossible to believe that some of the animals – especially the tigers – aren’t under a load of stress.

I can’t wait for the Presidential debates this fall. The Republicans have their John Kerry this time around, but the Democrats don’t have a complete and utter fucktard. Should be fun.

Rare Earth elements (elements 57-71 plus 21 and 39) have been found to repel sharks. The reason appears to be that they create an electrical current with the shark’s skin, effectively given the marvels of evolution a shock when they get too close. One study found that when the metals were used in certain types of commercial deep sea fishing, incidental (and unwanted) shark captures dropped by about 1/3.
(Also, these elements are called “rare Earth” not because they are rare but rather because they are notoriously difficult to tease away from other substances.)

Fun fact: If you fail to fully absorb fructose in your small intestine, it will be transported to the large intestine. Once there it will be fermented by your colonic flora. This produces a number of wonderful things, one of which is hydrogen. Said hydrogen will then make its way to your lungs where it will be released via your breath. In short, your body isn’t really the one-way street you hoped it was.
