Kuriositas: Perfect Pi Day Song - YouTube - This is wonderful! A Pi Song written and performed by Middle School teacher M Bernfield which takes the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 (almost came over all Sesame Street then!) and plays them as π as a series of notes. This was then used to write an accompanying song from the C Major Scale. Take a listen - the initial setup is a little slow but it is worth waiting a few seconds for the song to kick off!

Retrospace: Retro Fail #14: Awful Ads - They're naked, have huge furry balls attached to their head, and, judging by their sly expressions, they just had a good round of sex. He looks like a goofy Frank Zappa, so he should consider himself fortunate.... I only hope they had the good taste to remove the Hear Muffs whilst screwing. This ad is disgusting, but for some reason I can't look away. From Nony

The best engine in the world is ... - The best engine in the world is the vagina, it takes any size piston, its self lubricating, starts with 1 finger, and every 4 weeks does its own oil change. It's just a pity the management system is so fucking temperamental. From Nony

Firefox 3.6 Fix - Open New Tabs in Far Right | Firefox Facts - New to Firefox 3.6, when you are on a page, and you want to open a link in a new tab – rather than opening the link in the far right of the tab bar, Firefox will now open the link right next to the tab you are in. Now, while this might be convenient for some, it is a feature I don’t really need. So here is how you can disable the new “Insert Related Tab After Current” tweak in Firefox 3.6. From Nony

Pope under fire for transfer, letter on sex abuse - Germany's sex abuse scandal has now reached Pope Benedict XVI: His former archdiocese acknowledged it transferred a suspected pedophile priest while Benedict was in charge and criticism is mounting over a 2001 Vatican directive he penned instructing bishops to keep abuse cases secret.The revelations have put the spotlight on Benedict's handling of abuse claims both when he was archbishop of Munich from 1977-1982 and then the prefect of the Vatican office that deals with such crimes — a position he held until his 2005 election as pope. Who here thinks the pope was into sexual abuse himself? From Nony

Antimatter Supernova -The Biggest Bomb in the Cosmos - We've recently seen the largest explosion ever recorded: a supergiant star two hundred times bigger than the sun utterly obliterated by runaway thermonuclear reactions triggered by gamma ray-driven antimatter production. The resulting blast was visible for months because it unleashed a cloud of radioactive material over fifty times the size of our own star, giving off a nuclear fission glow visible from galaxies away.

Morons With Signs - Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I believe in this whole-heartedly.And I appreciate anyone who has the gumption to protest despite their handicapped abilities to articulate what they oppose. Their right, and ours, to a freedom of speech is something few in this world can savor. Another right we should not forget to savor, though, is the right to mock them.Some of these signs have been floating around the internet for a while and could be called classics, others are new. They just needed to be collected in one place. Please enjoy, and share it with your friends. From cw

Beck On POW Captured in Pakistan: “Just Shoot Him in the Head” - Beck was, needless to say, a little confused. He said the U.S. had captured the second most important member of al-Qaeda today. In fact, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, second within the Afghanistan Taliban only to the group’s leader Mullah Omar, was captured near Karachi about ten days ago. Of course, there is a big difference between the Taliban and al-Qaeda, not that we should expect Beck — or for that matter the corporate media — to notice the difference From milkmaniak_NLI

NeoCons’ Nazi Hero: How Carl Schmitt Spawned Fascist America - According to Schmitt, the ultimate power of government is not to be found in legislation, but in the executive power to abrogate or suspend legislation. What matters is not the rule, but the exception, and "sovereign is he who decides the exception." Schmitt's aphorism describes how Hitler in fact took power, with the unilateral abrogation of civil liberties in Germany. From milkmaniak_NLI
