LN has stolen this book from me, (first book of mine I could get her to read (apparently no time until the school year is over.) So they are making a movie. YAY!

Awesome YouTube videos of bad engineering/construction

This one is thru work - probably water hammer from heavy rains.

And I like watching the athletes do their best to not get HIT in the FACE with GIANT BOARDS.

This one is more just reasonably cool - Plane crashes onto baseball field

NYC Condom Animation

Cute advertisments for the risque NYC branded condom. Sponsered by the... New York City government??

YouTube - Hallelujah Nuns

From my Momma. But you can watch it anyway.

PS LN - I am talking to YOU

Seannibal's Flickr Dump

Just wanted to give all of you my flickr.com site. It will hopefully tell you a story, like, for instance, what I have been doing with my time that was not blogging.

Ask questions, and you will be answered. Perhaps in picture format, but answered nonetheless.

Male birth control pill soon a reality - Men's Sexual Health Guide - MSNBC.com

OK, OK - it's an old article

but nonetheless there are two interesting parts to it:

"Brown believes many men will see “their pill” as a good idea and will want to use it.“It is time for men to have some control. I think it would empower men and deter some women out there from their nefarious plans,” says Brown. “Some women are out there to use men to get pregnant. This could deter women from doing this. An athlete or a singer is someone who could be a target and they could put a stop to that.”

Hey - can't the athlete be responsible enough to not go crazy with the ladies? He also wants it for his 17 year old kid.
Secondly:

“An injectible or an implant (similar to Norplant for women) will be the first to be approved. The big studies are now under way,” says Dr. Christina Wang, who is heading up the clinical trials of MHCs at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

You're kidding me. The name of one of the male birth control doctors is Dr. Wang.
