Hitchhiking on the Information Super Highway

This the weirdest thing ever: the US Military looked into (but did not fund the acquisition of) developing non-lethal weapons intended to spread hormones in enemy soldiers so intense that they would stop fighting and start fucking each other. I'm not surprised that the government wastes money in a homophobic fashion, since there are so many instances of it wasting money on military crap and also of being homophobic, so the combination isn't a shocker. But what seems beyond naive is the notion that hormones of such a level could exist. If there were hormones that would instantly cause you to want to fuck the person next to you regardless of gender or how you feel about them....don't you think the millions of perverts in this country would have come up with it already? Given the extent to which there is a will out there, they would have found a way. If North Korea was intending to take out San Fernando valley with an ICBM, porn enthusiasts would have had a working National Missile Defense shield up in the blink of an eye. This is just another instance of proof that every high level governmental organization needs an official post for "Vice President of Common Sense" who can veto stupid shit. If this city would have had one of those, it wouldn't have spent millions trying to contain the threat of a bunch of flashing Mooninites signs. We wouldn't have attacked a different country than the one housing the people who attacked us, and pizzas would be bigger. And so on.


A few other things I stumbled across:

The White Stripes are releasing upcoming album Icky Thump on USB drives that are built to look like Jack and Meg!! Weird.


You know how it is kind of hard with Etch-a-Sketch to draw a straight line? Well, for it me it is, anyway. Look at this guy who drew a realistic picture of Lebron James with one. Astounding the different media artists can work in.
