] Since when was it cooler to be Canadian? Oh, its always been cooler. (Is that a pun??) Actually there is an interesting thread on BoingBoing about this article. A bunch of Euros basically saying "Its BS, no one over here is going to screw with you, USA Today is just stirring the pot, etc...." As well as several funny stories about Americans pretending to be Canadian, esp. IN Canada. :) [Werd....Canadians....we are keeping it real - Nano] RE: USATODAY.com - Ugly sentiments sting American tourists |

Welcome to the exhibition of rediscovered works by the mid 20th century illustrator A.C. Radebaugh. A very cool exhibit, soon to open in Philadelphia, displaying lots of futuristic graphic artwork from the 1950s. Flying cars, urban airships docked at skyscrapers, and more. This stuff is almost propagandist in its technological optimism. [Damn this looks cool. Anyone feel like a road trip?:) - Nano] Radebaugh: The Future We Were Promised |

Stupidity should be cured, says DNA discoverer - New Scientist |

Fifty years to the day from the discovery of the structure of DNA, one of its co-discoverers has caused a storm by suggesting that stupidity is a genetic disease that should be cured. Watson of "Watson and Crick" provides undeniable proof that intelligence cannot be measured on a single graduated scale. [wow....well, for one, Watson always likes to stir things up. And he definitly will succeed with this statement. To assume that low IQ is a disease that can be cured is a bit wacky though. If people started to believe that, they would never try to learn something new, and they could goof off in school, because whats the point when their IQ is "out of their control". It is pretty amusing that he said this though...I tend to think that he is just kind of joking around, especially since he added the statement about genetically engineering all girls to be pretty. In rebuttle, Watson, what about making all the guys hot, huh?!?:) - Nano] Stupidity should be cured, says DNA discoverer - New Scientist |

This is extremely belated. You may have noticed the orange XML icons in the lower right corner of some of the MemeStreams pages. We've added RSS support. This means you can view MemeStreams using RSS aggregators and headline scrollers (AmphetaDesk, NewsMonster, Faust's Friend). The topic pages and user weblogs are supported. The XML icons link to the RSS output. However, you can reach it by adding "?type=rss" to the end of a MemeStreams URL. Rattle did this feature in some sort of insane 24 hour coding binge. He deserves props. [rattle: "Its time I got back.. Its time I got back.. And I don't even know how I got off the track.." -weezer] You can now submit your MemeStreams page to weblog aggregators like Blogdex and Daypop. We'll be turning the main page in to these services this weekend. [Yep....Rattle is definitly hardcore:) -Nano] MemeStreams has RSS support! |
