This past summer -- Friday, June 13th to be specific -- SuicideGirls hopped a plane down to Austin, Texas to visit the set of Friday the 13th, the remake of the 1980 slasher classic that introduced the world to drowned-boy-turned-unkillable- ghoul Jason Voorhees. You can read about our night on the set right HERE, but the interviews conducted during that trip have been...

Anyone notice the Douglas Adams reference in Lost last night?

Last season, flash-forwards were the new flashbacks this season it's flash-all-over-the-place and guess the direction.

It's a great device; now the issue of where the island is is not so significant, since it can move, we're left asking when it is.

Adding the origins of The Dharma Initiative into the mix is switching it up...

Feeling "Nostalgia" for Dave Gahan?

I'm really feeling it. How about you?

Also love this solo track from Jeppe of the now defunct Junior Senior it's more than a bit Depeche Mode.

Should the First Lady be paid? Consider the signals we send with the unpaid role of first hostess?

This is 2009 not 1959.

It's not about the money it's about respecting and valuing those who perform this very crucial and difficult role.

It seems to me that the First Lady is taken for granted by more men (and women) than anyone else on the planet.
navanod:
I absolutely agree.
accuser:
I don't know. If the First Lady just didn't do anything, would there be consequences? I'm not sure that it's a job. It's a position that comes with expectations, but are those the same as obligations? If the expectations aren't met, what happens?

That is to say that the work done by First Ladies in the past probably does deserve pay, but this means that that very work becomes an obligation and we are now voting for couples instead of an individual.

And what happens if a single person is elected?

(And on the note that the First Lady can't realistically keep another job - how come President Barlett's wife was still a doctor? Maybe the problems shared by our First Ladies would be solved if they tried being fictional?)

Just discovered The Upside Down Show.

The Noggin show is way too funny to be exclusively for kids, and the antics of presenters Shane and David, a.k.a. The Umbilical Borthers, are way to bizarre to watch sober.

That top-left article title is very misleading. The article goes on to examine Israel.

Looking forward to season two of Flight Of The Conchords, which starts this Sunday, Jan 18th. I hit a preview screening party last night, and saw one of the new episodes in which Bret and Jemaine decide to moonlight as male prostitutes to fund their dreams of folk-rock stardom. Judging by this sample episode, there seems to be more laughs-per-minute packed into the new...

Okay, show me the science.

'The FDA is out to kill you / is controlled by big Pharma" is not science.

My Bologna Detector is going off (boop boop boop)



I think thats why they put the article up. Go watch the movie and read the book...I have a few times. It makes a pretty damn good case...and I was very skeptical as well. Obviously they aren't going to get into heavy details in this interview.

Many of the supposed healthiest diets are based off the the hunter-gatherer diet in which everything is direct from nature or prepared directly from nature without additives for a shelflife or dumpster clocking. Some diets that take parts of it include the Atkins Diet which takes out the carbohydrates - or the complex ones - and adds in the good ones after two or three weeks such as fruits and vegetables. Other diets are so close to the hunter-gatherer diet - like the acid-alkaline diet - that the regime can be considered strict to most who have grown up eating the processed foods in supermarkets druing these days.

This headline caught my eye:

"The beautiful women who are programmed to be unfaithful by the 'Marilyn' hormone."

Don't you love how science can explain everything!

Hm. Pretty small sample size on that test, I'd say that they still have to establish that "attractive" women are more likely to be unfaithful. Once they do that, then they can get around to looking for reasons. Still, amusing study.
