minor misunderstandings about human life
INSIDE JoongAng Daily: “‘We received a tip that Mr. Song was confined and killed by his followers because they wanted to experience eternal life and resurrection,’ a police representative said. ‘We are investigating whether this was caused by a group of devotees who were into this new pseudo-religion.’

Beer bong tragedy has entire city of Perth in shock
Beer bong tragedy has entire city of Perth in shock: “Mark Frauenfelder:
A beer-thirsty Australian gentleman, inpatient with gravity, employed a mechanical contraption to rapidly deliver beer into his gullet using a pump powered by an electric drill. The device proved so effective that the high-pressure jet of beer shooting down his throat ripped a hole in his stomach. Authorities responded by warning people not to use high-pressure machines to drink beer this Christmas. Link“

Playlist Meme
I gotta do something to get my mind off studying for finals. ugh.
- Open up the music player on your computer.
- Set it to play your entire music collection.
- Hit the ‘shuffle’ command.
- Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That’s right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It’s time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
- If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurrences. You don’t have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you’d like.
- Walnut Tree – Keane (iTunes)
- Right Now – Van Halen (iTunes)
- Song for Dad – Keith Urban (iTunes)
- Bück Dich – Rammstein
- Obvious – Blink 182
- Izzo/In The End – Jay-Z/Linkin Park
- Kiling In The Name – Rage Against The Machine (iTunes)
- The Great Disappointment – AFI (iTunes)
- All The Arms Around You – Halloween Alaska
- Live Again – Sevendust

The New York Times > Science > With Great Beer, It’s All in the Rocks (and That Doesn’t Mean Ice)
The New York Times > Science > With Great Beer, It’s All in the Rocks (and That Doesn’t Mean Ice): “When commercial beer making started in the 19th century in Europe, brewmasters came across a problem similar to those experienced by the Andean brewers, that the beer spoiled easily. Yet there were places that were exceptions. Burton-on-Trent in England was one, a small town that had more than 30 breweries, producing a style of beer called pale ale or English bitter.”

MLM #33
MLM #33: “I’m fairly often asked by people from some corner or other of the media to suggest to their readers/listeners/viewers how I think couples can keep their relationships springy and vibrant. It seems to me that the secret turns out to be for both your minds to harbour the barely-covered suspicion that the other one of you is a killer. That ‘incipient hunch that your partner is prone to homicide’ really will stop you becoming complacent and taking each other for granted. Thus, relationships shouldn’t look to some book like ‘How to Make Love to the Same Person for the Rest of Your Life’, but rather to, say, the movie ‘Jagged Edge’.
