Out of the Blue

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm now a Motorcycle Safety Class dropout, but I have to say I definitely intend on going back, this is a great idea for anyone who rides, even if you are already experienced (which I am not). Want a good reason? It was pointed out that a study of motorcycle accidents found that in 90% of the cases, the rider was self-taught. I think such classes (which also carry a point reduction benefit) are given in around 48 states here in the US.

Today's Media of the Day is another stroke of genius... worth the 15 or so minutes it will take to watch (Here... have a wine cooler).

Link of the Day: Smart-Ass Guide to New York City. Flash required. Even includes an animation of that Cyclone recently discussed in this space.
Story of the Day: Laura Buxton's balloon found by another Laura Buxton (Ananova). Thanks Andrew Arace. How come I get the feeling the statistician from Bath University they quote as saying "the odds against such a coincidence were a million to one, if not more," didn't even make the slightest attempt at doing any sort of statistical modeling on this one?
Weird Science: Scientists Make Dry Beads of Liquid Water (ABC). Thanks Jesh.
Weirder Science: Scientists prove farts spread germs (Ananova).
Wild Science: What's Next: Glasses So Smart They Know What You're Looking At NY Times free registration required. Thanks Jonathan C. Forster.
Media of the Day: Universal Studios Spoof (iFilm). Star-studded spoof, narrated by none other than Trey Parker. Thanks Frostnick. Here... have another wine cooler.
