Scientific curiosity
Apr. 1st, 2010 11:41 pmSingers, rejoice! If you're sick of untalented nonentities having recording careers due to the horrors of autotuning, the answer has arrived: Auto de-tune! I for one will definitely be shelling out $799 for this fine piece of equipment, which I (of course) heard about on MetaFilter.
Speaking of advances in science, if the recently-fired-up Large Hadron Collider has you confused at all, here is a handy diagram explaining it from those fine minds at The Onion. In reporting the recent LHC activity, the Daily Telegraph made the beautifully obvious typographical error, joining an illustrious list of publications that includes the New York Times.
Speaking of large hardons, you guys saw the eighteenth-century rosewood dildos that were recently sold at auction, right? In their own travelling case, no less. (Insert obligatory Rochester poem here.) As the brochure put it, in possibly the best sentence ever: "The case, although having a re-lined interior, appears to have aged commensurate with the phallus." I am going to try to use that last phrase in conversation whenever possible. "Your pants, sir, appear to have aged commensurate with the phallus." "Your mom appears [etc etc]."
Of course, those Age of Enlightenment types never dreamed that one day technology would advance to the point where a steam-powered sex machine would be possible. Sadly, the small minds at the US Patent Office did not share the inventor's vision, and the 1891 patent application was rejected. However, the prototype was preserved for posterity.
Speaking of disturbing phallic objects: anyone fancy some chocolate chip pancakes and sausage on a stick? Mmmm, tasty. But how do you get the maple syrup to stay on...?
Happy Easter, everyone!
