Elvis Weinstein and yours truly, along with some friends who came along later to make the show great: the beloved Frank Conniff and the scathingly brilliant Mary Jo Pehl.

Snitter: Snook's Twitter - Snook.ca
Welcome to Snitter! Snitter is "Snook's Twitter": an Adobe AIR-powered application for twittering. Twitter let's you post small 140 character messages letting people know what you're up to.Mashup of the dayI built Snitter for a couple reasons. First off, I wanted to take AIR out for a spin and see what it could do. Secondly, I find using the Twitter web site frustrating at times because it doesn't offer up features that I've always felt could be easily added. So, I've gone ahead and built an app with the features that I've always wanted

Hearing 'Messages' Embedded In Noise Could Be Early Sign Of Schizophrenia
Hearing 'Messages' Embedded In Noise Could Be Early Sign Of Schizophrenia
During the "babble task," participants listened with headphones to overlapping recordings of six speakers reading neutral texts, which made the words virtually incomprehensible. The participants were asked to repeat any words or phrases that they heard. Only four words--"increase," "children," "A-OK," and "Republican"--were consistently reproduced.Eighty percent of the participants who "heard" phrases of four or more words in length went on to develop a schizophrenia-related illness during times that they were not taking olanzapine, said the lead author, Ralph Hoffman, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry. In contrast, only six percent of those in the study converted to schizophrenia-related illness if the phrases "heard" were less than three words in length.

Their are 55 stickers in the set, which basically covers the gauntlet of the whole monster funny cars thing (the Kustom Kulture movement, Ed Roth's Rat Fink, Stanley "Mouse" Miller, as well as stuff like the Aurora model kits: Dracula's Dragster, Frankenstein's Flivver, Wolf Man's Wagon, Mummy's Chariot, Godzilla's Go Cart and King Kong's Thronester), though it skews it a little.

Keep your eye on the ball - MediaFile
While both men and women focused primarily on Brett’s face when asked to find a picture of him on a baseball site, one of the sexes also fixated on what the researchers coyly termed his “private anatomy.” The revelation that the wandering eyes belonged to the males was embarrassing enough for the men in the audience, but researchers Laura Ruel and Nora Paul had a further humiliation in store. They got the same results when they repeated the experiment with pictures on the American Kennel Club site.

Fact or Fiction?: Chewing Gum Takes Seven Years to Digest
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the human body cannot do much with these rubbery concoctions, resilient. Chewing gum "is pretty immune to the digestive process," Milov says. "It probably passes through slower than most foodstuffs, but eventually the normal housekeeping waves in the digestive tract will sort of push it through, and it will come out pretty unmolested."Fact or Fiction?: Chewing Gum Takes Seven Years to Digest: Scientific American

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Astronomers who stumbled upon a powerful burst of radio waves said on Thursday they had never seen anything like it before, and it could offer a new way to search for colliding stars or dying black holes.They were searching for pulsars -- a type of rotating compacted neutron star that sends out rhythmic pulses of radiation -- when they spotted the giant radio signal.It was extremely brief but very strong, and appears to have come from about 3 billion light-years away -- a light-year being the distance light travels in a year, or about 6 trillion miles.Radio burst from space mystifies astronomers | Tech&Sci | Science | Reuters.com
