- Are cosmetics made with fat from human corpses? Just in case you were wondering.
- Why wine ratings are badly flawed. (From Steve.)
- Britain’s new internet law – as bad as everyone’s been saying, and worse. (From Mark.)
- The Kirk Cameron action kit. (From Emory.)
- XKCD’s silent hammer. (From a ton of you.)
Ok, so I’m not the only one who thinks the “I taste hints of summer, bacon, and cheese doodles” and the like from wine tasters is bullshit.
I love Britain’s new Internet law. It’ll be exactly as effective as watching the whole country with video cameras; all it will catch is a bunch of dumbass criminals that don’t deserve more than a stern warning while the criminals that actually need to face punishment for their actions continue to walk around the edge of their view.
Such as by simply changing the “IP Reported to Tracker” in their Bit Torrent client to something other than their IP.
There is so much good wine out there for $10 or so I’ll never let a review or anything else entice me into paying more.
Fat for your face? They don’t have to kill me they can just suck it out via lypo I won’t charge them a thing.
Wine? I taste hints of nonsense. I like what I like in wine…its the whammy not the flavor that interests me.
The UK sounds like the US in its insane bid to over governmentalize. (no such word lol) Stop worrying about copyrighting and start worrying about kids reading and writing. Goodness forbid that the poor and unwanted get an education through updated technology!
Kirk Cameron Action Figure …er kit no friging comment. What an idiot !
Silent Hammer….lol.
You may scoff at the “fat for cosmetics” problem, but I know it’s true. I have a friend who’s sister knows a guy who went to college with someone who recently woke up in a tub of ice…
FOURTY POUNDS LIGHTER!1! And there was a note scrawled across the bathroom mirror that read, “Don’t move. Call the Krispy Kreme delivery number immediately.”
So there.
Mary Kay is PEOPLE!!!!!!!

@Zapski: Really, after the first time you see a man driving a pink car with a license plate reading “CME4MK”, is there any doubt left that he’s a cannibal on some level?
It’s already indisputable that some premium brands of soap are made from fat sucked out of vain, affluent people. That was shown in great deal in the award-winning documentary “Fight Club” a few years ago. If this is true, then I find it perfectly plausible that the cosmetics used by all our zombie and cannibal friends are made from the lard of freshly slaughtered rural people.
