· The mystery of the pickled dragon.
· Refrigerator coffins, wahoo. What I found most interesting was that little AIDS statistic the article mentions.
· The whole issue with RIAA vs. P2P has been alienating fans and musicians both, and now the artists are taking the matter into their own hands (and led by Peter Gabriel no less).
Seeing as McDonald’s seems to be a popular topic right now, here’s a documentary about what happens when you eat there 3 times a day, for a month. Scary and eye-opening. (link sent in by GothPussinBoots)
Oh, and in case y’all hadn’t noticed, the Doctor is back.
I was at a local McDonald’s today and discovered that their marketing geeks had been playing catchup with Jollibee’s again. The clown-loving freaks have finally realized that their pie options needed sprucing up, although why they would choose to release a “Taro Pie” is really beyond me. I’m not a big fan of Jollibee’s Buco Pina pie, but I’d take that any day over this mush-in-a-box.
Remember how Wendy’s used to serve really tasty Apple Pie, and A&W’s used to have an ice cream waffle corner? Man, I miss those days.

Slugs: in the mood for love. I believe the “structure” they were building toward the end was where they would place the results of their copulation. Disgusting and entrancing at the same time, kinda like highfiber.
Finally, a practical application for radio hacking.
An interesting writeup about Levitra (Viagra’s chief rival) and its equally interesting TV commercial.
Although I’m not a big Mac fan, I agree with pretty much everything that Steve Jobs says in terms of technology’s roles. In this short interview, he explains why he doesn’t believe there will ever be much of a market for handheld video players, something which ol’ Bill and the boys at Microsoft are hard at work at. Oh, and this brand-new line of iPods is making me seriously consider hopping on to the bandwagon.
