A genetics expert carries the entire human genome on his iPod. Now that’s just cool.

Thanksgiving Marble Magnets!I spent the morning scouring the Internet for images to use for some Thanksgiving marble magnets. I’m going to print them out on a color laser printer and then put the magnets together this afternoon. In case any of you would like to do the same, I’ve provided my image sheet for you…

It’s Public Service Announcement Day. Here’s another one for you fellows: Don’t set your laptop directly on your lap. It could burn your genitals. Snookums and I are still laughing at this guy’s claim that he was just “writing a report” fully-clothed. Uh-huh. Anyone bothered to check his ISP logs?

Note to aspiring New Zealand politicians: Don’t knit in Parliament. How funny is that? My favorite part of the story is the end: “Retired parliamentarian Marilyn Waring, who admitted to knitting 32 garments during her nine years in parliament, said in her autobiography it had been the only productive thing she had accomplished in the…

Ladies and gentlemen… I give you The Return of CouchCam! You may be lucky enough to see me sitting down there watching the cricket and knitting. (Note: the Australian local time is printed on the image, should you ever want to know what time it is here.)

Oh dear God. Some English couple got high on GHB and the guy ended up yanking out 18 of his girlfriend’s teeth. And what was the bit about her being dressed in a clown suit? I’m gonna have nightmares about that. (Link courtesy of Jann).

New Poll: Now I’m thinking about my new DVDs. For those of you that watched the show, which guy did you like the best? When I was Angela’s age, I was all about Jordan. Now that I’m older and more mature, I’ll go with the sensitive nerdy Brian Krakow type every time. (I’ve also thrown…
