Lord knows I’ve fought it. But after reading about a new book called Love and Sex with Robots by British researcher David Levy, I’ve decided to go with the flow. I’m posting this profile on Match.com immediately.
I’m a MAN seeking a ROBOT.
Likes: Silicon/e, charged batteries, intense connections, quick downloads, hard drives, random access, limitless capacity, Heineken draughtkegs.
Dislikes: Sharp metal claws, laser-beam eyes, desire to kill all humans, mega-hurts, rust.
Coming off a bad crash with last CPU (no rebooting that relationship), I’m looking to love again, and get some automated help with my personal grooming and housework. Moonlit walks and candlelight dinners are OK. And I’m a good listener; I promise not to disable your speech synthesizer. Are you into master/slave designations? Just clink at me so I’ll know you’re willing to give it a try.
Also, anyone know if these guys have a dating channel?

If you'd just bought a house that had an unused billboard on the side, you might be stumped over what to do with it. Leave it blank? Rent it out? Use it to send messages to your neighbours?

Or, if you've been touched by the Noodly Appendage, then you could use it to pay tribute to the divine being that is the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Thomas and his colleagues maintained the mishap was the result of a scientific experiment to investigate whether LSD brought on an unusual condition in which elephants become aggressive and secrete a sticky fluid from their glands. In a report of the incident submitted to the US journal Science four months later, the team concluded: "It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD."

That's one thing the elephant is sure not to forget.

This lightwriting project is the work of LICHTFAKTOR; on their MySpace page, they cite explanatory text from another blog, "colourlovers":

A number of graffiti artists have been tagging everything thought to be impossible without being caught. Well — it’s actually not illegal for them. They’re not using paint. As it turns out, time-lapse photography isn’t just for blooming flowers, skyscapes, or brake lights anymore. Termed Light Graffiti, tag artists are taking their colour to an all new level.

Using an exposure of about ten-to-thirty seconds and a tripod for best results, Light Graffiti artists start at the first click. Glowsticks, flashlights, reflectors, and even torches have been used as mediums to create all sorts of designs and tags, as the artist becomes a ghost of a blur, if visible at all.

Any person, place, or thing can become a central piece of the art. Because all it really takes is less than a minute, light tagging phone booth can be just as easy as something in the privacy of home, though staying home is certainly less fun. Some ‘hardcore’ taggers are set on Light Graffiti not actually being graffiti because it doesn’t have a physical presence, but after seeing photos of it, it’s not too different from tagging a building and having it covered or removed the next day.

See if you can make some yourself. The general rule of Light Graffiti seems to be experimentation and play, so, if your first ‘tag’ isn’t brilliance, keep at it.

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, recently told an interviewer for the British edition of GQ that marijuana is “not a drug”. When pressed by the interviewer on his well documented use of marijuana in the film documentary Pumping Iron, he said ” That is not a drug. It’s a leaf”. So, you bench press several hundred pounds, squat nearly half a ton, you get tired and you want to unwind . . . the obvious non-drug of choice is marijuana! Alas, when the PR implications of this statement became obvious, we got this from his press secretary:

Anyone have an audio clip of that quote?

As a result of a law enacted in January — called the Deficit Reduction Act, or the "DRA" — the price of birth control pills at universities and health centers across the country has doubled, tripled, or worse. In addition, our own Planned Parenthood health centers in Mississippi and Alabama have been forced to raise prices for women that are coming to us, a safety net provider, because they cannot otherwise afford their contraceptives.

It's great when the Uber-Christians up the need for abortions. The world needs more abortions, especially Uber-Christians.
