A plethora of miscellany including scantily clad women and people with two brains!

- For all you sick people: According to Scientific American, Airborne is a scam.
- Why does Jessica Alba even have a face, when it’s not nearly her best side?
- OK, I give up. Scarlett Johansson is officially hot.
- 2007’s great life advice begins with “Are you leaking? Plug it!”. Used for business in this context, but applicable to all things. Get it out of your head and on paper!
- Ever want to take a sound clip and see what it would sound like when played in a big abandoned warehouse? Well…thanks, internet!. There’s also one that will let you try audio in “a huge [11m] tank made of ferroconcrete”
- Every rockers dream come true: a real, working air guitar

I’d like to leave you with a trio of articles from one of my favorite magazines/blogs, Psychology Today.

- Krang is here! Apparently, we have brains in our stomachs.
- What I’ve been saying for years (it’s even on my MySpace page) is true. Half-asian people really are more attractive!

A cool tool that doesn’t work!

1) Log on to The Analogia Star Estimator
2) Upload a picture
3) Provide some details about the photo
4) Receive the top 3 celebrities the algorithm thinks you look like, which are usually totally inaccurate!

I mean, do you think I look like Benicio Del Toro?

Hyphens? We don need no steenkin hyphens!

Woo. A whole bunch of randomness today.

First off, although I’m not in love with John Kerry, Duhbya has to be the worst public speaker in history. My grandma coulda done better, and she’s dead. Hey George, maybe you should look words like ’sovereignty’ up before using them, in case some reporter catches you on it and you end up sounding like an idiot. Well, at least it wasn’t a series of SNAFUs caught on tape and posted on the internet to be mocked for all eternity. Aaaand that’s all for politics, folks.

As Britney descends into total swamp trashdom, it appears she’s decided to get rid of her place just down the block from my old employers. Here’s some pics of the fancy pad she’s giving up. [Via curbed.com]

From the NSFW-but-not-quite-gratuitous-porn department, we have what must surely be a photoshoot from an upcoming Apple ad campaign. Perhaps she could use some of these iEverything-inspired butt plugs in her next one, just to really drive the point home. Hi mom!

In new music news, I’d like to echo allmusic.com’s sentiment regarding the new Dana Owens a.k.a. Queen Latifah record, in that the worst thing about it is it makes you sad that this is her first record where she sings all the way through. A versatile talent, this woman is. Except for the abomination that Taxi looks like. What were you thinking, Jimmy..What were you thinking.

If you’re a music journalist enlisted to review the new Interpol (I’m not a huge fan but people seem to like them), there’s a helpful article of 101 things to compare them to other than Joy Division. Get it? Cause people said they sounded like Joy Division before. And even though they do, people are sick of hearing that comparison. So, funny. heh.

From the “It’s 1 in the morning and I dont want to think of any other clever From The Desk Of lines” department, three random bits of information before I go enjoy my new stereo. The should-be-up-in-the-porn-paragraph-but-really-not-porn service Rasterbator will take jpgs and … well .. rasterize ‘em so you can print ‘em out real big. But really I just liked the name.

Distributor of all that is cool in the electronica world K7 has decided to put “Not Copy Protected” labels on all of their CDs. Kinda speaks for itself that they have this.

and we have this:

piracy

Okay so maybe it was only two things.

G’nite gracie.
