Jet Li has joined the illustrious dubious ranks of those martial arts stars playing opposite themselves in a film–including Jackie Chan and Jean Claude Van Damme. But instead of playing a long-lost twin brother to himself as in the other films, Li’s actually himself squared–another version of Jet from a different parallel “universe.” That’s right: Only Jet Li can kick Jet Li’s ass. Borrowing from the Many Worlds interpretation of Everett’s Relative-State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics, The One showcases a scenario of what happens when events in these different universes become intertwined.

One for the road
Sausage Fest
You only get one dinner sausage. Apparently that is enough to set off some inmates in Hobbs, N.M., proving once again that those male prisoners really like their meat.
Unholy alliance
Even though the War on Animals has been going on for more than a year now, there are still people out there who question its purpose. “What’s the point?” they ask. “Animals are stupid and aren’t really ganging up against us in a global form of King of the Hill.”
Oh really?
A baboon at a Lithuanian zoo named Mitis not only saved a chicken that was going to be fed to other animals in the zoo, he made friends with the chicken. Mitis has even eaten chicken in the past, but has looked beyond that to make friends. Next, this blog expects Mitis and the chicken to have offspring, probably called babickens, and do their part to take over the world.
Touch ‘em while you can
Sarasota County, Florida, is entertaining a proposition that would keep patrons 6 feet away from strippers.
Oh, yeah, and they want to ban alcohol from the strip clubs, too.
This effectively turns the nudie bar into your teenage years: watching porn in a dank, poorly lit environment; unable to buy booze; and surrounded by all your friends who want to masturbate.
Sounds swell, Sarasota.
Schooling the schools of thought
A new study shows that the differences between liberals and conservatives may differ in more than just their political views. They actually have different ways of thinking.
The study says conservatives like order and are more consistent with the decisions. Liberals, on the other hand, adapt better to unforeseen circumstances and don’t mind ambiguity.
Also, members of the Green party have brains made from 100 percent recycled paper. Libertarians, however, refused to be tested, because it would mean taking off their tin foil hats and allowed the government to hear their thoughts.
