Blooper Reel of the Day: The Artist’s blooper reel is pretty much the classiest blooper reel ever.

The researchers tested the itch-scratch response at three sites: back, forearm and ankle. Turns out scratching the ankle produced a more satisfying itch relief than the other two locations. Scratching An Ankle Is Hard To Beat (via npr)

My guy friends and I have a much broader palate when it comes to women’s bodies than Maxim or Cosmopolitan would lead you to believe. And I’m not putting this forth to sound noble; what I’m saying is absolutely a variation on “Guys’ll fuck anything.” But I’d like to expand that and say, “Guys’ll fuck anything, and they’ll enjoy it. AND they’ll fuck it again. AND they’ll even be nice to it and tell it it’s beautiful and take it to dinner and listen to its dreams and fuck it exclusively and brag about how happy they are to be doing it to their other guy friends who reject the notion (as vehemently as any Women’s Studies major at Wesleyan) that women should fit into some unforgiving, unvarying Barbie mold.

I saw The Artist last night, and I’m still trying to decide what I thought of it. Definitely cute! (This moment may have been my favorite.) Also fun. And I liked how they played with sound (it is, for the most part, a silent film. About silent films).
But at the same time, I couldn’t decide if I felt preached at or creeped out by the mania the characters possess. Overall I recommend it and enjoyed it! But I’m trying to decide if that dark edge was proof of depth or superficiality.

Sometimes SPAM is fascinating:

“There were no programmers available to produce a strong active edition of the storyline through entertainment systems or computers. Chiropractors stress that it is easy to strain muscles that are weak or unprepared for the task, especially if the muscles haven’t been properly warmed up. For example, finches do not necessarily destroy vegetation, so if you want to keep finches, plants can be great. [spammy link removed] Plan your exercise time in advance. At nighttime, always wear hard-soled slippers.”

The Hertzspring-Russell Diagram is a chart that shows the relationship between luminosity and colour of stars. The chart itself contains information for about 23,000 nearby stars and illustrates the fact that stars only fall within certain allowed regions of the diagram.Image

I love the H-R Diagram, because it all makes so much sense! And there’s so much information on there.

Sometimes my life feels incredibly ridiculous

pole dancing? parkour? speed dating?

I’m half convinced this is a joke…
