Stem cells... hot

Is it going to rain today? Will I need an umbrella? (I should add that as a child of New England I don't endorse this kind of weather report. Something I consistently miss about the Greater Boston broadcast area is that the TV weather shows (or showed, last I watched) actual meteorological conditions with barometric pressure and those little flags and fronts and high pressure and low pressure. New York City weather gives us a happy sun or a little cloud animation. And now these one-word weather Web sites.)
Feeling somehow similar: What online cartoons are funny today?
I'm enough of a geek "green-enthusiast" that I read this headline as "driving on saliva" and thought it was going to be about converting saliva into fuel somehow. Turns out it really says driving on salvia, which is not new (I remember Googling it when the health editor who sits behind me was producing this piece) but what I thought as I clicked through the related videos is that first time salvia trip videos are the new first time Two Girls One Cup videos.
A nice clear not-at-all-hard-to-read-through explanation of how the binary number system works.
Another before/after Photoshop job. I think the pose itself is so awkward you almost have to Photoshop it just to be fair.
I think if I'd invented the miracle tea bag I'd have used a different metaphor (like maybe the patch?) but it's funny that British scientists would come up with a tea bag-like solution to administer stem cells.
Random non-link bit: For the first time, after years of blindly and recklessly clicking every link with a catchy headline I caught a nasty trojan last week. Likewise, the old machine I have for my baby to practice typing the letter W has been incapacitated. I'm hearing similar reports from friends. Be careful out there.
My Commute Clicked series should probably be renamed "Things I read half of with the hope of reading more but we all know I'll never get around to it." As such: Roger Ebert eviscerates Ben Stein's Intelligent Design movie and Scientific American re-publishes an article from July 1959 speculating about the relationship between human-generated carbon dioxide and global warming.
