Keith Cantrell was so impressed by the Body Worlds exhibit at the Oregon
Museum of Science and Industry, he volunteered to have his body put on
display after he dies.
Yeah, really. Link.

Why is Norv Turner still coaching?
Why is Norv Turner still coaching?
Rivers. Norv needs some help, and the word around the league is he's getting it if he likes it or not, but he just can't run a whole team. He can't even notice Ryan Matthews is missing in a crucial overtime situation. He can't manage a clock. He needs help.
But, Rivers likes Norv. And he's willing to tell the owners that. And people who like the Chargers like Rivers, so it's our own damn fault we have Norv. It's easy to hate Norv, but at the same time the Chargers had an awesome turnaround once they scraped up Jared Gaither from KC. They stopped getting Rivers hit every play, and stopped losing.
Maybe Norv is better than he seems. After all, people were calling for Tom Coughlin's head after the season, and he got his second ring. Against Tommy and Billy, so he has that going for him. Which is nice.
But Norv needs to get better with his own teams. The Redskins, well, that's not the coach that made the mistakes in free agency and the draft. The Raiders? You want to blame Norv for Al Davis? Unfortunately he's now painted himself into the succeed with AJ Smith category. That's like surviving with five dingos and five cats for a year in some caves. I'll bet on the Newts.
Norv has some rings from somewhere in Texas, but maybe he can help a team that matters get one. Weirder things have happened, like Eli beating up Billy twice. Or Jizzel marrying Tommy.

The Fox Effect
This pretty well sums up why we're stuck where we're at with politics. Everyone seems to hate corporate money, but everyone seems to be swayed by financial interests. The Lieberals obviously need this money, so they can buy off Satan until they can make sure rMoney has secured the nomination. End corporate money!
Oh, but if you have time, please click my ads while commenting furiously about how wrong I am.

AT&T Ad from 1967
From the April 1967 issue of Popular Science, page 1. You can now read every issue of every Popular Science magazine in history due to a partnership between PopSci and Google. The ads alone are pretty awesome, but some of the articles are even better. The April 1967 issue has a feature article on how helicopters can relieve traffic problems, as well as an article by Walter Cronkite about what the year 2000 will be like, and letters about things like poor TV and radio reception.
I could spend the next year or two just looking for amusing ads.
