Mixed Feelings, in which Science! does things to your Brain! A man gives himself a magnetic sense, people learn to see through their tongues, and learn to fly. Fact, not fiction. It's the future! (courtesy of jwz)

It's Raining 300 Men. Possibly the gayest thing in the history of gayness. (courtesy of surliminal and 0olong)

How We Learned to Stop Having Fun. Which I don't necessarily believe, but makes some interesting points about culture and depression. If only we had data about suicide levels in ancient Rome.

A new story that should probably be entitled people = shit. Because a study has found that most people are now convinced that global warming is down to human causes - but are unwilling to actually do anything about it on a personal level. A better argument for government action I have yet to see.

One last link

EMI starts selling non-DRM downloads. Which is _great_ news if they weren't putting the price up by 30% at the same time. And only making them available in AAC format. And only at 256kbps. Which means it'll take up twice as much space on my MP3 player. I don't actually _want_ them that high quality when it means I only get half as many songs to carry around with me. It's a plot, I tells ya, a plot to make us all go out and buy bigger iPods!
