Syfy is preparing to unleash Lavalantula on us, about … fire-breathing tarantulas, duh. It will star Steve Guttenberg, Leslie Easterbrook, and Michael Winslow, all of Police Academy fame.

hito was onto this long ago! Science Confirms The Bigger The Belly, The Better The Loverqueerty.com We’ve already established that guys with bellies drive us bonkers. Now, a new study confirms what we’ve always known to be true: That gentlemen with an inch (or two) to pinch make better lovers… At least when it comes to sexual stamina. Researchers at Erciyes University in Kayseri, Turkey have just completed a yearlong study that looked at the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and male sexual performance. Their findings: Overweight men with obvious bellies lasted an astounding five minutes — five minutes! — longer in the sack than their thinner brethren. A tota…

Far from pointing out that MsGuy's accusation of me as "refusing to own to his clearly demonstrated error" highlights his characteristically inattentive failure to observe that my just-previous post did precisely that by suggesting I be nominated for the Ig Nobel Prize, this post is to celebrate past winners of said prize. 1991 Biology – Robert Klark Graham, selector of seeds and prophet of propagation, for his pioneering development of the Repository for Germinal Choice, a sperm bank that accepts donations only from Nobellians and Olympians. Chemistry – Jacques Benveniste, prolific proselytizer and dedicated correspondent of Nature, for his persistent "discovery" th…

The incomparable Lennie conducting (after reflecting on) the Ode to Joy... ...with the Vienna Philharmonic, possibly the finest machine ever put together by the hand and mind of man. I had thought the recording conducted by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt leading the same orchestra was the sine qua non, but just stumbling across these Youtube bits makes me reconsider. Holy shit. Just noticed he does not even have the fucking score in front of him. Cojones. Brilliance.

Because it is about his favorite Prince and an adorable child... Btw, I was amused to read "I was chuffed to bits", I never heard that before and if it wasn't said by a little girl in the article, I would have thought it meant something totally different. 'I was completely over the moon': Little girl's delight at being hoisted onto Prince Harry's shoulders so she could see the bands at the Invictus Games closing ceremony Isabelle Nixon, five, was left upset after being unable to see the stage Adam Nixon, 31, had earlier captained Team GB to victory in basketball Prince Harry spotted the little girl and swung her onto his shoulders The royal then stayed and danced with I…

Heightens the drama all over again. (Article is from 2010; I just now discovered it.) Apollo 11 Moon landing film has sound restored A British filmmaker has painstakingly synchronised footage recorded during the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 with its corresponding audio. Video link here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-video/7900351/Apollo-11-Moon-landing-film-has-sound-restored.html This split screen montage combines footage from four different cameras used by Nasa to capture the moment Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon on July 20 1969. While the images captured 41 years ago have regularly been seen, they have almost always lacked a synch…

So the Scottish independence referendum is fast approaching. Wonder what posters here think?

Just for laughs I found this clipping/photo in a local newspaper. If my squash were that big I also would be proud of it. Or do I just have a dirty mind?

While we are busy wishing happy bithday to someone most of us have never heard of, why not wish our colleague Four Aces well? Last we heard, he was in the hospital. There's been no news since. I hope that he is following the board and sees this. If not, maybe Austin Mahone can pass it on when they get together.

"I came. . .all ye faithful." . . . For the third year, the “Orthodox Priests” are back with a new calendar to fill us with sinful thoughts. You can order the 2015 Calendar, the “Explicit” 2015 Calendar, and the making of DVD at their site. The theme of this year’s offering is Social Tolerance.

Well wearing a pair of high heels in the kitchen makes one a master chef then I think it's sad. I'm not going to watch Masterchef anymore where three male judges decide a winner based on one's appearance. That's why a female judge is needed in that show.

I have a chance to visit Isreal in a few weeks. I have dreamed of this for many years. It has been on my "bucket list" since I was 10 years old so I would love to check this off the list. The hotels are cheap now. But, would you feel safe in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv or other "holy" places now?

This cracked me up. Who's the queen? . . . . .

Do you know which are the most peaceful countries in the world? Since 2007 each year, the Global Peace Index has been issued by the IEP (Institute for Economics and Peace) and is a measurement of nations’ and regions’ peacefulness based on external and internal measures. Although it seems like the world is becoming more cruel, according to the Global Peace Index there are 20 most peaceful countries in the world.

Last night I watched Dancing with the Stars - "Dancing with the Who's Dat" as someone else posted here a few seasons ago. I was very disappointed at the scarcity of Eye Candy this time round. The only hunk contestant IMHO is Jonathan Bennett, who by the way is an out gay man. As for the professional dancers, thank God Derek Hough is back - cute as always, and Tony Dovolani of the incredible butt. Unfortunately I don't think Tony will be around very long as he is partnered with a 72 year old loopy lady by the name of Betsey Johnson - never heard of her. She is so bad that I doubt if she can last very long, in fact she may be the first to be dumped tonight. Oh well - l…

It's so nice to see Barbra having fun and doing something out of her comfort range to some degree. I thought this was brilliant. She was out promoting her new duets CD "Partners" on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLK275YCeQE

I'm neither for or against the issue of whether Scotland should or shouldn't separate from the UK. I've read some rather heated rhetoric on other sites about that issue and hope I'm not starting that here. What dumbfounds me, though, is that apparently this rather momentous issue can be decided by a majority vote and I'm wondering if those for or against the separation might comment on that issue alone. Most of US law stems from our colonial masters and we generally cannot take many significant actions (ratification of a constitution which required a 2/3rd's vote, amendment to our constitution which requires approval by 3/4's of the states, overriding a presidential …

Egypt issues stamps to mark new Suez Canal - but uses pictures of Panama Canal The multi-billion pound scheme to widen the canal was announced last month, but officials have suffered a series of false starts Egypt issues stamps to mark new Suez Canal - but uses pictures of the Panama Canal instead Photo: FACEBOOK By Alastair Beach 12:52PM BST 13 Sep 2014 telegraph.co.uk When the Egyptian government proudly announced plans to build a new Suez Canal last month, officials were so puffed up with pride that they took the time-honoured step of commissioning a series of stamps to mark the £2.4 billion project. But in an embarrassing start to the scheme, it appears…
