Been sampling the ‘fruits of my labor’ recently and am proud to say that Alcohol 120% proof is a fine vintage.

I find that it’s best to heed the use of protection when using such a powerful and intoxicating potion, but that’s just me.

To hell with the commercial backup, it’s dead. Just because someone wants to backup their own data, the RIAA and Hollywood get their undies in a bunch.

It sounds as if that idiot Ralph Nader is once again tossing his hat into the presidental ring. This jerk doesn’t know when to just shut up already and the Republicans in DC are giddy with joy that Nader wants to help them out again this year. This BS happened four years ago too and look what has happened to the country since! Nader’s retortic is about as far right wing as a ‘liberal’ can get. All his running will do if fracture the opposition to ‘King George the 2nd’, whom intends to oversee his reign at least four more years. Now he has a liberal lackey to legitimize his rule.

Nader’s hatred of America first started when he cursed GM for producing the Corvair. Sure they eventually killed it’s production but Nader made it his national stepping stone has been drudging up worthless drivel ever since.

Hopefully Osama will surrender before November so we can keep our ‘Commander & Thief’ in office, after all he was appointed by God. (As referenced in RollingStone)

As Feb. 29th happens this year, I’m embracing the idea whole-hog…(er….whole hearted-ly). It seems legit and I don’t mind the whole premise behind it. But hopefully in 4 years I won’t be even remotely considering the idea. Check out Snopes for more details. Maybe the boyfriend part would have to come into play quickly though too.

Ran into a neat little tool at overLIB, for which rules can be found here. (Note the hover-over the word here?)

Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don’t always know what others are really feeling.

Although fake smiles often look very similar to genuine smiles, they are actually slightly different, because they are brought about by different muscles, which are controlled by different parts of the brain.

Fake smiles can be performed at will, because the brain signals that create them come from the conscious part of the brain and prompt the zygomaticus major muscles in the cheeks to contract. These are the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth outwards.

Genuine smiles, on the other hand, are generated by the unconscious brain, so are automatic. When people feel pleasure, signals pass through the part of the brain that processes emotion. As well as making the mouth muscles move, the muscles that raise the cheeks – the orbicularis oculi and the pars orbitalis – also contract, making the eyes crease up, and the eyebrows dip slightly.

Lines around the eyes do sometimes appear in intense fake smiles, and the cheeks may bunch up, making it look as if the eyes are contracting and the smile is genuine. But there are a few key signs that distinguish these smiles from real ones. For example, when a smile is genuine, the eye cover fold – the fleshy part of the eye between the eyebrow and the eyelid – moves downwards and the end of the eyebrows dip slightly.
