.. that stands for the ‘Encyclopedia of Lesbian Movie Scenes’. If you think this is even remotely safe for work, you deserve all you get for clicking it at your place of employment.

It’s fairly tame, but I am impressed and somewhat disturbed by the attention to detail shown here.

Climate warning as Siberia melts

Posted on by

THE world’s largest frozen peat bog is melting. An area stretching for a million square kilometres across the permafrost of western Siberia is turning into a mass of shallow lakes as the ground melts, according to Russian researchers just back from the region.

The sudden melting of a bog the size of France and Germany combined could unleash billions of tonnes of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

[…]

What was until recently a featureless expanse of frozen peat is turning into a watery landscape of lakes, some more than a kilometre across. Kirpotin suspects that some unknown critical threshold has been crossed, triggering the melting.

Giant Spaghetti Monster

OPEN LETTER TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD

Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.

All Hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Google Earth

Posted on by

Google Earth puts a planet’s worth of imagery and other geographic information right on your desktop. View exotic locales like Maui and Paris as well as points of interest such as local restaurants, hospitals, schools, and more.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call Paris exotic, but it really is a pretty fantastic piece of software. It’s free, but unfortunately Windows only (no linux or osx clients, grrr).

This one’s done by Rachel Stevens.

You know, I think they’re on to something here. Instead of the usual PSAs where we get bombarded with statistics by pompous ugly people, they should just have hot chicks in their underwear telling us to exercise more, eat greens, recycle and generally make the world a Better Place(tm).

I’m fairly certain that would be more effective.

Huckapoo!

Posted on by

It’s sounds to me like a word for describing the act of coughing up feces, but no – it’s the name of a manufactured girl group targeting 8-year olds with a significantly sub-average IQ. Hey, it’s a HUUUGE segment, right, don’t diss this shit!

Check out the awesomeness that is Huckapoo here. Turn the volume down if you’re at work, or people just might start buying you Barbie dolls for your next birthday..

Radosh.net has an excellent summary right here. Actually, read that first. Background here.
