OUTRAGE OVER PLANS TO BUILD LIBRARY NEXT TO SARAH PALIN. Almost 40% of Americans still support the idea of books Campaigners have described the project as insensitive and a deliberate act of provocation by people with brains. The issue is forming a dividing line in advance of November’s mid-term congressional elections with candidates being forced to declare whether they have ever been to a library or spoken to someone who has books in their home.

Meanwhile President Obama has caused unease within his own Democratic party by endorsing the library and claiming that not everyone who reads books is responsible for calling Mrs Palin a fuckwit nutjob nightmare of a human being. But Bill McKay, a leading member of the right-wing Teapot movement, said: “Sarah Palin is a hallowed place for Americans who can’t read. “How is she going to feel knowing that every day there are people going inside a building to find things out for themselves and have thoughts, right in the very shadow of her amazing nipples.” “Oh they would?

Evolution of Dance - By Judson Laipply. Australia contributes beer to international space culture. Australia doesn't even have a space program but a partnership between space engineers and a Sydney brewery aims to make damn sure we won't be beaten to the first space-certified beer (Moses 2010). Now it's not quite true that we don't have a space programme - we had a ripper one some time ago, and with the new Space Policy Unit, and funding for space research in Australia, we might be able to do something in this line again.

Still, point taken. Now for the beer. I have heard, and I believe there are some studies which show this, that altitude affects the sense of taste. This is why airline food is always so uniformly awful. A problem, you might imagine, exacerbated a thousandfold in space. Fine for astronauts who are trained for space conditions, but not so much for your affluent space tourist expecting a bit of luxury. So Saber Astronautics Australia and the Manly-based 4 Pines Brewing Company have formed a joint venture, Vostok, to develop a microgravity beer.

T-shirt Of The Fortnight #003: BEER. October 1st, 2010 | Work This is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull regularly in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I’ve said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt. Previously, this was a weekly gag. Summer was a bugger, and made us shift to monthly, and autumn is only looking slightly better. So we’re shifting to fortnightly. Until I either run out of dumb ideas or Ariana’s brain explodes. So, at the top and the middle of the month, I’ll post the new shirt here, and you can peer at it more at Anyway. We also now offer, at the same link, a great many perennial "legacy" items, which will be added to on a largely random basis.
