- Fergie releases theme song to the movie Sex and the City. (Lyrics) Not only does it sound like the awful club music you find on Lansdowne Street, but the song sports lyrics like “Don’t cry. Buy a bag and then get over it”. I know that Sex and the City is all about sex and high-end consumerism, but this is a little bit much.
- Seasonal affective disorder explained. It’s a technical explanation but interesting for geeks like me.
- Not only can you get keyboard-face, but now you can get keyboard-pants. I’m serious. Your pants can double as a keyboard.
- Parents who denied medical care for their daughter and prayed for her recovery are now charged with second-degree reckless homicide. It was a completely treatable disease, too. Lesson: Faith healing doesn’t work.
- New legislation calls for government ownership of DNA. The government is setting up legislation that will allow them to take genetic samples of every newborn child without the parents’ consent. Why? To create a library.
- Congress votes to ban genetic discrimination. It is an amazing bipartisan proactive bill. I’m so glad that the government has done something right, especially now that genetics is finding its place in politics. Also with the genetic database, this is an amazing move to ensure that future citizens and residents are not treated unequally. By the way, Ron Paul, R-Texas, was the only one to vote against the bill.
- Comparing nicotine and cannabis withdrawal. Yes, you can get withdrawal symptoms from weed.
- Whiten your teeth with strawberries. Easy, natural way to whiten your teeth. (Let me know if this works.)
