Guy that published the paper on the five second rule turns his attention to double dipping
“The way I would put it is, before you have some dip at a party, look around and ask yourself, would I be willing to kiss everyone here? Because you don’t know who might be double dipping, and those who do are sharing their saliva with you.”

Books that make you dumb
The one useful feature of Facebook - aggregating people to statistically mock them. Also, I love that "The Holy Bible" makes you dumber than not reading at all.

Burton is offering $5,000 to snowboard "poachers" who invade the last 4 ski-only slopes

More Americans belive in creationism than accept evolution
Here's the nice thing about science and facts, though: it's still true even if you don't believe it.

Two Flash game developers quit their jobs, join forces
Desktop Tower Defense is one of my favorite video games ever (not web games - games) and these guys are making a good living off of ad revenue.

Sam Brownback has a surprisingly coherent, if fundamentally flawed, op-ed in the NYTimes about his belief in evolution
Ultimately, though, he wants the scientific theory of evolution to square up with his personal religious beliefs, which ain't how science works, Sam, no matter how much you may want it to.

Nina Planck on death by veganism
