Many Worlds QM and the Eels
Taken from the BBC Documentary "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives", which is about Mark Oliver Everett -- better known as E, leader of Eels -- and hisjourney to discover the physicist father he never really knew and to understand something of his "Many Worlds Interpretation" of quantum mechanics -- at first, painfully ignored, but now taken quite seriously.

As it says, "Because NOBODY knows better than the FANS!!"
It's things like this, and the reviews of Tarot (the pictures aren't really safe for work) that keep me going back to Chris's Invincible Super-Blog.

EAT REAL FOOD
If you needed just one more reason to stop eating high-fructose corn syrup (and believe me- there were LOTS of reasons already!), I've got one more for ya: MERCURY.
Turns out that there are several food products out there that are still using mercury-tainted high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener (mercury is used in the process of making it), and mercury is toxic at ALL levels. These are brand-name products, many of which are marketed to kids.
Go read the report for yourself; they also include a list of the products in which the mercury was detected.

Peachy
Rod Blagojevich. He's not going to his impeachment and neither are his lawyers.
Looking forward to him whining because he didn't "get to" face his accusers.

Excellent. I'm Moving.
Canon is urging workers to go home early and make more babies.
I'm in. Do we get daycare benefits, too?

Beautiful Stuff I Can't Afford, No. 4
Today the BSICA is only one of my favorite shoe companies of ALL TIME.
CYDWOQ Shoes, still hand-made in Burbank, CA, are quite possibly some of the most unique, beautiful, and comfortable shoes I have ever gotten to experience. I actually do own a pair of these shoes from the days when I was the manager and buyer at a shoe boutique. But NOW- of course when there's no way I can pay $300+ for the shoes or $400+ for the boots- NOW they have more styles, more textures, colors, and materials, and MORE BOOTS available than ever.
Is there anything better than an amazing pair of boots? No, I don't think so.
They also make sandals and shoes for men and women, but really- the boots are where it's at.

What, Me Worry?
MAD Magazine goes quarterly this April.
It used to be published eight times a year (monthly except for March, June, September, and December, or something like that) in 2001, I think, it went monthly (which was around the time it switched to color and got ads, but the price dropped) and actually came out in all twelve months from then up until this year.
As long as they keep up the "Planet Tad!!!!!" joke blog thing, I'll keep laughing.
