Love in the Time of Darwinism

Very interesting article about how hard it is to be a single guy right now. I can relate to pretty much all of it, especially the stuff about how nice guys get screwed. Or don’t get screwed, as the case may be…

You have to check out Pomplamoose!

Pomplamoose (which is French for “grapefruit”) is the best thing I’ve discovered in quite a while. They’re Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. She’s cuter than a kitten with a pocketful of buttons and he really knows his way around the ol’ bedroom studio. They make these things called VideoSongs. A VideoSong has two rules: 1.)

Bobby McFerrin Demonstrates the Power of the Pentatonic Scale

Even if you think you’re not familiar with the pentatonic scale, you are. Think of those famous five notes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. With that in mind, watch this.

some really cool t-shirts

Check out Amorphia Apparel and it’s sister sites for some really cool t-shirts.

Dibs on this one. And this one. Oh, and this one too.

Evolution T-Shirt Banned in Missouri High School

Unbelievable.

“I don’t think evolution should be associated with our school.”

The fact that this Sherry Melby idiot is a teacher saddens me.
