Nudity optional

Imagine my surprise to discover there's a nudist club in Cincinnati, a park called Paradise Gardens (www.nudelife.com). No, there aren't any nude photos, but the activity schedule includes several dances that sound like they think it's more fun to wear clothes:

Toga Dance

Toilet Paper Lingerie Dance

Costume Contest

Pajama Dance

Circus goat walking on a wire

From Uncle Sandy. Gives a whole new meaning to "sure-footed." (The video, not him.)

Heartening word piece

This has 5 million plays on YouTube, and chances are you're one of 'em. Whether you are or not, I hope you'll enjoy. Nicely done.

Remix of Alice

Okay, children of the Sixties, this is it. Repeat after me: "TOO freaking MUTSCH!"

Seriously.



(Thanks to the odd design site Booooooom.)

VocaPeople

This is making the rounds of perpetually forwarded emails. I don't think it's as stunning as some folks say (the emails say "NO INSTRUMENTS! JUST HUMAN VOICES!", but it's fun.

MIT geeks create a virus that makes a battery

Not kidding. From EcoGeek.org:

Those crazy lab rats at MIT are attempting to radically diminish the cost of producing sophisticated nanotech cathodes and anodes by enlisting viruses to do the hard work for them. ...

The team at MIT genetically engineered viruses to excrete certain proteins. Those proteins then react with chemicals introduced to the environment to create complicated structures. Proteins are very good at directing compounds to create complicated structures...like life forms.

The viruses, in effect, pull the needed compounds (gold and cobalt for the anode and iron phosphate and carbon for the cathode) into nanowires....

Unless EcoGeek is twisting the truth (how would I know?), this sounds closer to reality than one might think. Go read the post, if you wish.

Well yes, that would explain it.


When we remember we are all mad,
the mysteries disappear
and life stands explained.
