Uh...
...10 Ig Nobel prizes awarded Thursday night for quirky, funny and sometimes legitimate scientific achievements, from the mathematics of wrinkled sheets to U.S. military efforts to make a "gay bomb."
OK, so is a "gay bomb" a bomb that makes those it contacts gay? a bomb that only kills gay people or a bomb that's disguised as a large, vibrating pineapple?
The U.S. Air Force won the Ig Nobel Peace Prize this year for its proposal to develop a "gay bomb" -- a chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers want to make love with each other, not war with the enemy.

Boy, if this technology really existed it would certainly deepen my fear of, and bring more meaning to the term, dirty bombs.

SNL Actually Does Something Funny?
So this Saturday was SNL's season premiere and I actually caught a couple of the skits with Jeff and Amber. Is it weird that I want to start shaving lines in my hair like Kanye?
It is pretty funny stuff.
"It's got champagne in it!"

Does this sound bullshit-ty to anyone else?

Headline: Woman may have accidentally killed herself after airport bust
"According to investigators, it appeared as though Ms. Gotbaum had possibly tried to manipulate the handcuffs from behind her to the front, got tangled up in the process, and they ended up around her neck area," he said.
When you're handcuffed with your arms behind her back your hands are near your hips. That's how its done. To bring them in front of you you have to past them behind your legs and over your feet unless you either 1) have no cartilage in your shoulders or 2) are willing to endure the horrendous pain associated with dislocating your shoulder. And even if you've managed to endure 2, or were born a freak like 1, what exactly would you be doing with your handcuffs that would wrap them around your throat? "Ok, now if I could just squeeze my wrists out of these cuffs, damn I need more leverage, I know I'll push the metal chain against the softest part of my body which is crucial for both breathing and blood flow. Oh no! I'm dead!"
In other news, I'm totally going to Tase Chu next time I see him.
