Take it from Snee: I just heard … the worst band today

I awoke this morning to Creed.

The only way to start this day any s%&ttier would be to wake up with an actual human turd in either ear. (I prefer the left ear to compliment my earring.)

It should be noted that I possibly brought this on myself by programming my alarm clock to play Huntsville, AL rock station 95.1, The Rocket. In my defense: it is the loudest station in the area that will wake me up, and it’s not country, so I’ll shut off the alarm clock and not kill my wife and nearby animals.

But, Creed? In 2011? Continue reading Take it from Snee: I just heard … the worst band today

How humans got head

The human genome has been mapped, but that doesn’t mean that science is done poking around with our source code. Much like bebop and other free-form jazz, sometimes you have to find the genes that aren’t present to learn what separates us from our animal foes.

And that is how David Kingsley of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University School of Medicine in California and colleagues found the gene that makes beejers possible.

Also, something or other about our brains.

(P.S.: As you can tell by the category list, this story was really in our wheelhouse.)

They all look the same in the water, right?

There’s a-doin’s afoot in Japan, mainly those of the semi-cross-dressing kind at a bath house. It took the female bath customers quite a while to tell that there was a man in their midst. Recently, 49-year-old Yoshio Okawara, a security guard from Yokohama.

So how did a burly old security guard manage to slip past all the ladies? Okawara entered the bathhouse at around 3:30 p.m. wearing a coat and skirt along with long hair, causing the receptionist not to notice him. In fact, Okawara got changed in the women’s changing rooms and even made his way into a bath with several women before any complaints were raised.

People must have thought he was one ugly woman, or maybe he was really fat and it covered up all the …ahem…more noticeable features. Once a complaint was made by one of his fellow bathers, a male attendant restrained Okawara until police arrived.

Is it bad to be impressed that Okawara made it that far without being noticed?

Lady Gaga: Defender of decency

It’s looking like the world may never get to taste ice cream made from breast milk, aside from the youth of Siberia, where it’s the only way it can be served. The troubles keep piling up for Icecreamists, the makers of Baby Gaga, the breast milk-based ice cream that was supposed to go on sale in London.

Now, not only have U.K. health officials confiscated their product, but Lady Gaga sent them a cease and desist order threatening a lawsuit for naming a product something that sounds like her name. This is completely understandable, as the soft-spoken and demure Lady Gaga is known for her understated performances and upholding of the general morality.

There has to be a way to home brew boob ice cream.
