Although I'm fairly certain most everybody sees the Smashing Pumpkins more as Corgans-novelty act than serious rock band these days, as a Chicago group, it's our duty to report on them. (sigh) You can hear this new Smashing Pumpkins track, titled "A Stitch In Time", right now on SmashingPumpkins.com . The track has a bit of an Iron Butterfly "In Da Gadda Da Vida"-1960's psychedelic feel to it. Mysteriously absent is drummer Mike Byrne and any drums at all. For those of you keeping count - all [...]

taken from clipmarks : Imagine that in ten years China forces all its college students to get genetic tests. Students with intelligence genes in the top 1% of the top 1% of humankind are then forced to donate sperm or eggs. China then uses the sperm and eggs to create a billion embryos each year.

Just a quick note of warning against reading stupid chats on any game servers.... I was playing chess on BabasChess (pretty decent free multiplayer chess environment) when a user named gr... he will remain nameless because he probably doesn't want his stupidity published but he said "so what do you guys think about the nuclear war/terrorist attack that is supposed to happen friday.." He also said "No, I am serious, something big is supposed to happen Friday.." Probably lunacy and conspiracy, but [...]

I definitely do not recommend attempting this , especially in DC traffic, but I figured what the hell.... It all started around noonish last friday when I decided to leave work early to beat the DC Beltway traffic. Boy was I in for a surprise. Because of all the out of state idiots hogging up all four lanes (license plates from Ohio to Ontario all over the highway) traffic was stop and go the whole way home to my fair town of Parkville in North Baltimore. During the 2.5 hour commute I decided to switch my Video [...]

Well readers, it appears that the honey bee is not as important as we think to the continued existence of humanity as we know it.... and I do apologize for the earlier fear mongering, but bee extinction as the cause of an apocalypse was too good to resist. I still am worried about Einstein's prediction that humans would disappear four years after bees did. taken from the orginal here: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2 007/aug/02/bee_or_not_bee/ Before Europeans brought honeybees to the New World, all plants were [...]
