Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A freaky video - especially good at the highest resolution: [link]

This company developed a laser that can kill mosquitoes in flight. The video is of the laser "shooting down" the mosquitoes in close-up and slo-mo. In one video, the flying mosquito can suddenly be seen to smoke, then lose part of a wing and spin out of control as it continues to spew smoke - it's like a plane getting shot down in a war film.

The white puffy quilted skirts were an unfortunate choice.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My immediate reaction to the We Are the World video was that I missed Cyndi Lauper and Stevie Wonder. And that I was moved seeing Gladys Knight.

I rewatched the original, and man they have quite a group-- Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, and Harry Belafonte singing in the background.

Because books.

Right? And the way they're making them sort of dance on the sideline is a little sad.

They remind me of weary go-go dancers.

What is that blue dress made of? It looks so space-age.

Dear America. We are sorry for Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado and their ilk. (We're looking at you Celine.)

Love, Canada

You know what the next big thing in tvs needs to be == the ability to mute the announcers.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Wow. The floor effects are amazing.
