An apolitical oasis on election day
But first, something about politics: When this race between a phony and a tool is over, it'll be interesting to see how the most visible supporters of the "loser" will respond. I hope there isn't a cultural rift, but this is precisely the kind of election that can do just that. Reconciliation is every bit as critical to a successful democracy as equal rights in the process.
Oh, and if you're a tormented undecider, the Presidential Guidester might help.

As if you didn't already know, Americans are getting bigger and fatter. But you might not have known that humans can be, and have been, much smaller. Indonesian Hobbits. Interesting.

After reading this, I don't know whether to say Cooool or oh, shit.... You?

First: Cooool..... Actually, the innovation that I'm most excited about are the brain implants that wireless transmit to artificial limbs, giving someone the ability to "walk" as an able-bodied would. Same thing goes for the ocular implants that transmit to the appropriate section of the brain.
In other words...he's more machine now than man....
Speaking of real-life hobbits, that reminds me of JRR Tolkien, which reminds me of last week's annual list of the most highly compensated dead guys, which reminds me of a future thingy.org column for you to write...
...just how influential were the Beatles?? Now TWO of the top 5 dead income earners are former Beatles (Lennon #2, Harrison #5). To me, that's just ridiculous staying power. After being #3 for decades, Tolkien was bumped to #4 with the passing of Charles Schultz.
