Didn’t make the list

Men’s Health 20 Worst Foods In America.

This isn’t on the list since it’s homemade, but this would have to be tops on the list right?

McDonald’s topping pizza!

But it all tastes so good.  Yes makes you nauseated after you eat it, but still….

Lil’ Romeo signs with USC

Lil’ Romeo’s a Trojan – ESPN.com 

“This is the most important thing I’ve had to do and hopefully it sends a message to kids across the country that education is more important than money,” Miller said at the news conference. “Getting a college scholarship is more important than winning an American Music Award, and I plan to be the best student-athlete I can be at USC.”

Okay, he’s the son of a did well for himself rapper/producer.  Via his cribs he had a MBZ hatchbatch before he could even drive.  He’s listed by some as a top 15 PG in the high school ranks.  This post is about none of that.  Yes education is more important than money.  It’s great for him that he’s good enough to get a scholarship with a D-1 school.  But you mean to tell me that he can’t afford to just pay out of pocket and walk on to the team?  Could some other deserving you man better use that scholarship?  Not to say Lil’ Romeo doesn’t deserve it, but he can afford USC (well I’m assuming so, havent’ heard to much out of Master P recently) without scholarship.  Others can’t.  Not like if he walked on, he’d be a real walk-on.

I’ve posted about TED Talks before.  And I’ll probably post about it again.  But entertaining, enlightening, education (oooh like the alliteration do you?  Though is it actually alliteration?  I’ve read definitions of alliteration that only deal with consonance and not assonance).  Usually all at the same time.

TED – Technology, Entertainment, Design

evolution or de-evolution

Posted by eugene on November 19th, 2007

Is “de-evolution” even a word?  Oh no, maybe I’m heading in the wrong direction?!?!

 Two human species?

I don’t know… Especially in America I think with the celebrity worship the species might get better looking, but not so intelligent.

America = fat

I am listening to smodcast and they are talking about this Wired article and I had to find and link to it: Americans are so fat they are bottoming out the boats at “It’s a Small World” ride at Disney.

Four Word Film Review

The Four Word Film Review site.

This is old.  I’ve never posted a review.  But it’s cool nonetheless.

For science, yeah….

Japan resumes whaling.

the Japanese Government referred to the expedition as “scientific”. It is a description that infuriates anti-whaling activists. Whale meat harvested on the expeditions is sold on to the Japanese market and the profits used to fund “future research”.

As part of its declared mission to collect scientific data on the age and “mode of life” of Antarctic whale stocks

Admittedly, I don’t know anything about this past the news wire reports.  But I guess to learn about the whales you have to kill them.

Japan says it needs to kill the animals in order to conduct research on their reproductive and feeding patterns.

Umm, yeah, this is skeevy

Female “android” groped. via Engadget.

This guy made an android.  A female android.  Recorded a video of him groping it and it taking offense and trying to slap him apparently.  All well and good, but you know he has a switch to make the android a lovebot or something disgusting.
