trendspotting : throat-slashing!

you might recall joel's little internet rule of three, wherein he sees something on the internet three times, and assigns some kind of arbitrary and excessive significance to it. well, he's not the only one with an eye out for today's hottest trends. i'm here to tell you about a little observation i've made, involving the latest fashion in rage: throat-slashing.

allow me to illustrate:

first, this white guy slashed his cab driver's throat just because he said he was a muslim! theeeeeenn, this guy slashed his college's dean's throat, just because he was possessed by satan! and last night, a diplomat was found on the floor of his apartment in the bronx, dead from a throat-slashing, just for being a nicaraguan!

point is, if you have any hope of earning the approval of your peers this fall, head on out and pick up the season's must-have accessories: a sharp knife and a short fuse.

FREE LINDSAY!

auburn is the best!

a few quotes from the 'gameday' crew, about their experience on auburn's campus last weekend:

"the fans are great, the campus is beautiful...i love it here."

"auburn might be the most charming campus, town, atmosphere and environment in all of the southeast...it's just a great mix of tradition, academic emphasis and football."

"we've always said, and we said it last night in our production meeting for gameday, auburn is one of the most respectful crowds in terms of its fan base...i think that there are two reasons for that. not only is it the manners of all the people here, but i also think there is a respect and appreciation for the sport itself. obviously, everyone loves their team, but i think they love the sport as well. you don't find that everywhere."

so we're the best AND the most polite. SUCK ON THAT YOU A-HOLES!!!!111 YEAH! WAR EAGLE!!!!

this is hypnotizing and sort of beautiful.

A Canadian university student has done what Leonardo da Vinci had only dreamt of: piloted a human-powered "wing-flapping" plane! Called an ornithopter, and the inspiration for modern day helicopters, the machine was first sketched by Da Vinci way back in 1485 and never actually built.
