No, we are not talking about disappointing sex. The Chilean quake shortened the day by 1.26 microseconds and moved the Earth's axis by 8 centimeters. To keep that in perspective, winds and ocean currents also cause the Earth to wobble on its axis, often by magnitudes thousands of times greater than this earthquake. ...

The muddy-colored liquid is bhang. The single cup is shared and it doesn't touch lips. Bhang recipe here. Photo of what can happen at the Holi festival after drinking bhang. WikiPedia article on the Holi festival. If I grasp this correctly, the king of demons was trying to kill his own son, Prahlada, who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. After many failed attempts, the king of demons ordered Prahlada to sit on a pyre on the lap of his own sister, Holika. Holika would be safe because she had a fireproof shawl. ...

Here you can view an interactive 26-gigapixel panorama of Paris. This one's a notch or two above any previous multi-gigapixel panoramas I've seen. First, the resolution is even better. But in addition, there are more interactive elements and they are explained! Several major landmarks are labeled with an Info icon which you can click. There's also an index of landmarks. Click one and the image zooms in to the landmark. On the down side, it has cheezy music. On the up side, the cheezy music can be turned off. One question I have is if someone can identify for ...

I’d like to start out with the guys this week, only because Lee Dewyze sang Fireflies. If you don’t recall – this was my song recommendation that I talked about only a few days ago. I think Lee did a satisfactory job with the song, and obviously enough to get him into the Top 12 – but I seriously think that his look was enough to get him in there even if he’d done a worse job. But now that I’ve talked about Lee, let’s carry on with the rest of the contestants. Ladies: The only two worth mentioning ...

This week in pop culture and law is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan and her quest to sue E-Trade for airing this commercial:Lindsay claims the commercial infringes on her right of publicity (a celebrity's right to prevent others from profiting from her name, likeness, voice, or image without paying for it). Why? Because the ad refers to a "milk-a-holic Lindsay" and whenever we hear the name "Lindsay," we automatically think of Lindsay Lohan. Puhlease, it's not like that baby has red hair, a DJ girlfriend, a self-tanning product, leggings, a history or car wrecks, or a DUI. That, ...

Doesn't anyone else find it rather suspicious that suddenly, after a little media coverage, Toyotas seem to be running amok? Either the cars have all be "activated" by a secret transmission that turned on their KILL ALL HUMANS function, or people who couldn't get on reality shows 'cos they didn't have a big foil balloon have found a new path to notoriety. Woman Crashes Toyota Into Church, Blames Stuck Accelerator Connecticut, March 10 Yet Another Toyota Prius Goes Rogue, Smashes Into Wall New York, March 9 Toyota Prius Runs Wild At 90mph With Stuck Accelerator San Diego, March 8 etc... etc... Funny how this ...

Smoking cigarette glasses! Studded g-strings! Telephone hair! I... I... I don't have the vocabulary to explain these things to you. Just watch. It's a nutty new world that Gaga and Jonas Ackerlund have created, featuring hot jailhouse lesbians, hippie biker bars, and MURDER. Not quite as catchy or iconic as "Bad Romance" but folds nicely into her growing canon of work. LOVED IT! What do you think? Worth the four months of waiting, and ten minutes of running time? ...

Finally the full version of the ad for Calvin Klein's new X underwear featuring celebrities  Mehcad Brooks, Kellan Lutz, Hidetoshi Nakata and Fernando Verdasco that I have been talking about for the last several weeks has been released. In it, all four hotties say some version of "Do you wanna see my (bleep)?" I think the answer is "Yes, please!" (Especially Mehcad and Fernando.) ...

Today's RecipeYep, we're cooking again. This time, I found a little something with a pork loin, broccoli and garlic....This tasty little number is Pork Chops with Garlicky Broccoli. I bought two pork loin chops from the butcher, some chopped garlic, fresh broccoli, low-sodium soy sauce, and rice, followed the directions, et voilà. The broccoli turned out so tender and yummy in the garlicky soy sauce, and the chops cooked just right with a little searing on the stove top then 10 minutes in the oven. I'm constantly amazing myself with how these things turn out.We finished the ...
