During my junior year of college, I starred as Albert Einstein in Steve Martin’s hilarious drama, Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Set in 1904 before either achieves notoriety, the play pits Einstein and Picasso in a Parisian bar. During a pivotal scene, the barmaid, Germaine, learns Einstein is writing a book about a Special Theory of Relativity and asks him a series of questions about its subject matter, plot, comedic tone, and intended readership. Toward ...

Remember the Seinfeld episode about man-bras (bros)? I'm trying to forget it. But man-bras actually do exist, and here they are. Made by Japanese underwearier Wish Room, each man-bra promises support where you need it most: right at the tit. And as a man who's no stranger to trying on his girlfriend's bras while she's in the shower: I like to put on a little makeup too. Just foundation, eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lipstick -- ...

Remember when mom would come in your room and check up on you when you were sick. I do and the very thing I would always look out for was when she would put here hand on my forehead. No medicine in the world could match that. When mom does that I feel the fever leaving me that instant. Ah, just one of the fondest memories of my childhood. Now that I’m a parent I’d ...

I’m a boob gal. I totally am. Can’t help it. I like them. Get me drunk and I will totally grab yours. Hell. If I’m sober I just may grab them. I find them utterly hilarious too. (HA HA HA Utterly. Get it? Udder? Boobs? HA HA HA) If it wouldn’t get me committed to the psych ward I would probably deck myself out in a boob motif on a daily basis. Oh don’t look ...

Every man loves a set of boobs. They wanna hold them, squish them and even rub their faces in them. What? They do. You KNOW they do. Those buggers can keep their hands to themselves when there is a rack in the room. And if they do keep their hands to themselves you can be sure as poop that they want to touch. Why not give ‘em a set that they can cozy up to ...

Okay, so the wave of literal translations of music videos continues. This time it's Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, aka the Rick Roll song in case you've been a vegetable for the past year and just came to. And, if that is the case, it's good to have you back. But tell me -- was there a tunnel? Was a bearded man beckoning you towards the light? Did he creep you out at ...

We've heard about the touchscreen voting woes in West Virginia, where some voters reported that their votes "jumped" from Obama to McCain. In Tennessee, there are reports of votes jumping from McCain to Obama: Several Decatur County voters are concerned about problems with the voting machines at the Election Commission Office. Voters claim they tried to vote for McCain for President but the machine checked Obama instead. At least three voters encountered the problem when ...

Apparently suspended ceilings are popular in Russia because upstairs neighbors have a penchant for getting drunk and leaving the bathtub running all night. In Russia suspended ceiling is not only a stylish element of the flat interior, it can simply save your dwelling from flood made by the careless neighbors living above. Like in this case the practice shows that it is able to gather and hold all the water. Now the question is how ...

译者：莫尘你坐在侯机厅里，将《经济学人》杂志揉成一团，扔进满是污渍的垃圾筒里，等待着与朝思暮想的那人见上一面。你焦灼、兴奋。你坐立难安。然而，在你心里，还有一个萦绕不散、惹人厌恼的感觉。是令人难受的愧疚之情？很有可能：因为地球要承受你的爱带来的痛苦。 毋须置疑，旧金山的环境可持续发展的顾问会每月飞一次华盛顿，去看她的异地恋人。白天，她协助实施“绿色供应链"和“内化社会核心消费"（internalize core social costs），然而，这种“较短量长的生态意识"（eco-savvy）在她发出“来看我吧！！！"的e-mail时，便消失殆尽。可以说，她是个土食者（locavore）（见注1），但却不是个本地恋者（locasexual）。 让我们来算算这对恋人一月见一次所耗费的“成本"。由于在高空飞行的飞机排出的温室气体所产生的效应是地面交通工具的几倍，于是，每年，碳抵销公司（carbon offset company）(见注释2）都得处理近35吨由他们的浪漫旅程排出的CO2。即使均摊这一责任，我们的可持续发展顾问的生活方式对于环境造成的破坏，也是美国的人均油耗造成的环境污染的6倍，更是旧金山的10倍。（事实上，以她的情况，分手对环境的益处是坚持素食的10倍左右。） 或者，让我们假设她在纽约，于是她可以从纽约开车去见她的恋人。如此，这对幸福的恋人可以每两个星期见一次面了，然而，他们每年在95号州际公路（I-95）（见注3）上的独自旅行仍排放了3.6吨的CO2。 那么，诸如此类以爱之名的旅行到底产生了怎样的影响？调查显示，17岁以上的单身人士将近1亿。我们无法确知他们中有多少人在进行长途恋爱（long-distance relationships），但有研究证明，至少有1/4的大学生是跨城恋爱（dating out of town）。考虑到这个比率在普通民众会高出太多，因此我们只作个保守的计算，即在成年单身人士中的比率为1:15。以此，便有670万的未婚美国人在谈长途恋爱。加之，有340万两地分居但并不“分离"的已婚夫妇，因此，总共有1千万，或曰5百万对LDRs（异地恋人）。 如果他们都各有事业，然后每隔两个星期便从华盛顿开车到纽约见一次面的话，那么每年他们就要排放1800万吨的CO2。我们可以作个比较，如果完全取消掉美国境内所有的公共交通工具，那么，排入大气层的CO2将达690万吨。并且，1800万吨的CO2是全国采用可再生能源后，10年内减少的CO2的排放量的1/3，或者，是每年通过“合理采用"混合动力所减少的排放量的60%。假使这些人中，哪怕就一小撮的人乘船，哪怕只是纽约－芝加哥，或者洛杉机－丹佛，总排放量也会飙升到令人咋舌的地步。如他们所言，爱的力量让我们跨千山越万水，然而，它却是以牺牲地球为巨大代价的。 同样的环保逻辑早已出现于我们的饮食习惯中。土食运动（Local Food movement）敦促我们计算食物的里程——它从产地到饭桌的距离，——并且只吃方圆100英里内的产出的食物，以此来减少CO2的排放。那么，不也该发起一场本地恋运动（Date Local movement）？让我们算一算“性的里程"：为了和你约会，这个人费了“多少行程"？如果恋人就在100英里内，那么见面的“次数"大概是多少？如果这个运动蔓延至全球的话，就像在各地兴起的土食合作社或者今年夏天蓬勃发展慢食运动（Slow Food movement）（见注4）大型研谈会的话，那么，环保的功业便会上升数个台阶了。 一场坚决且全面的本地恋运动不止有益于环境。就像经济地方化的其它形式，放弃浪漫的空中飞行恋爱会带来许多意想不到的好处。其中之一就是减少人们的反社会（anti-social）性。将所有的闲暇时间都花在去另一个城市或者盯着摄像头里身在远方的伊人，也就是说，不是关在公寓里，就是在机厢里，而不是去公园，保龄球馆，或者酒吧，这会消蚀掉人们的公民认同感（civic commitment），破坏掉他们的社会支持网络（social support networks）。他们认识新朋友的机会变少了。而且，由于经常处于机厢的封闭空间内，他们对城市的情感便愈加疏离，在这样一种生活方式下，便不难理解，他们对奥黑尔（O'Hare）（见注5）天气状况的关注更甚于发生于他们眼皮底下的本城新闻。 注1：在2005年，由旧金山的四位妇女发起。她们认为，我们的食物来源应该控制在100哩内。 参见：http://blog.oup.com/2007/11/locavore/ http://en.wikiped... 注2：为减少温室气体而成立的一个机构，通过在他们所属地域内进行植树造林、敦促各界使用洁净能源、控制个人的二氧化碳排放量等等措施达到环保目的。 参见：http://www.trugreenglobe.us/index.html 注3：Interstate 95，简称I-95）是美国州际公路系统的一部份，共计跨越15州，是美国东岸的交通大动脉，位于东北部的路段更是因为大量的使用量而被称为东北走廊。经过主要城市：波士顿，普洛威登斯，纽约市，费城，巴尔的摩，华盛顿，里士满，沙瓦纳，杰克森维尔。 参见：http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/95%E5%8F%B7%E5 %B7%9E%E9%99%85%E5%85%AC%E8%B7%AF 注4：慢食运动是一项号召人们反对按标准化、规格化生产的汉堡等单调的快餐食品，提倡有个性、营养均衡的传统美食，目的是“通过保护美味佳肴来维护人类不可剥夺的享受快乐的权利，同时抵制快餐文化、超级市场对生活的冲击”。 参见：http://baike.baidu.com/view/95654.htm http://zh.wikiped... 注5：芝加哥的机场之一。添加评论相关文章： 寄小读者：如何当一名好男友 青少年如何成为一个好男友？ 如何更好更妙的与女生交往Contribute comment
