Drew Brees – Marvel of Modern Science
For you football/physicists out there, here’s a fascinating evaluation of New Orleans Saints’ QB Drew Brees.
Happy Palindrome Day(Yad Emordnilap Yppah)
I’ve always been a fan of anagrams and palindromes. So has University of Portland Prof Aziz Inan (pictured above).

Happy Twenty Ten. For those of you too lazy (or annoyed by obligatory tradition) to conjure a New Year’s Resolution, here’s an auto-resolution generator.
Christmas Abuses (or ‘Bah Humbug’)

Chewba-baracus
Instant internet hawtness here. Though, to nitpick, I think Obi-Wan is clearly the Hannibal parallel, which would make Han Solo the “Faceman” character. Though, Lando might be an even better choice for the heartthrob. But I digress…

Isn’t that like asking you to refrain from using a bowling ball until you record a perfect 300 game? I remain skeptical.
The New Face of Corporatism
A fantastic Huffington Post rant by Miles Mogulescu perfectly enunciates the growing divide between Obama and the movement that brought him to power.
