If you think men go to extremes to get sex, you don't know bears.
In Grizzly Man, Warner Herzog's documentary of a man who lived with grizzly bears every summer for over a decade, Herzog says that some male grizzly bears will kill their cubs so the female will be ready to fornicate sooner.
Talk about a mood killer.

Brief Adventures in Online Dating
I like browsing the personal ads on Yahoo. Fun way to waste time. The company only allows you to browse a few of them before requiring you to fill your own profile, which I first did a year ago, starting an electronic duel between us that continues today.
What happens is that I fill out a profile with a multi-paragraph description. Yahoo grants me access for a few days while they review my profile. They review my profile. Then they reject it. Always. Which is fine, because by then I'm no longer interested in looking at ads. A few months pass by, I get curious again, fill out a profile, and...
I have yet to crack the Yahoo code. If I was seriously looking for a date, I'd be very frustrated. I'm on profile #7 now. Yahoo just doesn't like me. And I let them know in my latest profile, sent two days ago:
Description: I don't know why. It keeps rejecting my profiles. I understand the need for standards, but if they're going to block my profile just because I mention my crack pipe selling business, they should mention it beforehand. Okay, they did send me an email saying, "STOP WRITING ABOUT CRACK PIPES!!!" but that was too little, too late.
Today, I logged into my Yahoo email account, clicked on my Yahoo New Email button, and saw that I got an email from my friends at Yahoo. Yay! Guess what they had to say? We could not approve your profile.
The reason: Your intro or description was not accepted because it does not contain enough personal information.
If telling potential mates about my home crack pipe business isn't personal information, what is? I suspect they are just peeved that I refer to them as Yahoo, and not Yahoo! I'm sorry, Yahoo!, but besides the grammatical monstrosity including it would cause in almost every sentence, you don't own the exclamation point. It's not yours. Punctuation belongs to the people, not to a deliriously-perky company that attempts to cover its tortured soul with a glassy-eyed happiness that invokes an uncomfortable resemblance to the Church of Scientology.
I got to put that in my next profile.

From the Home Front
One of my Mom's hobbies is to send her children alarmist emails about the hidden dangers of the world. These emails share three qualities:
1. They are about a danger that I have never heard about, and never would have if she had not sent me this email.
2. The danger affects about 1 in a million people, if that.
3. There is absolutely nothing reasonable one can do to defend against the danger. The defensive action suggest in the email, almost always forwarded through a long chain of people before it reaches her and she broadcasts it to us, is drastic and involves making a major behavior change that is completely overblown considering the negligible risk of the actual danger. In the past, this has included "Don't go swimming in the ocean" (Summer of the Shark), "Don't answer the door at night" and "Always check under your bed for Black Widow spiders before going to sleep."
The title of the latest one, sent today? "FW: New Trick for Rapists, Please Read!"
A few years ago, I used to wonder why I'm so anxious that I need to take medication.

Calling All Math Majors
I've been thinking about the flash video below that explains the ten dimensions. The way the dimensions are defined, there can be no more than ten dimensions, because the 10th dimension is the infinity of all the infinite universes. But I remember reading of some string theories that propose the existence of more than 10 dimensions, most notably 11 or 26. Are these other definitions just different ways of categorizing the same thing, like instead of "5, 6, 7" it's "5a, 5b, 5c, 6a, 6b, 7a..."
Do I even want to know? Sometimes I like asking questions more than the answers. Questions are easy. Answers are hard. When I think about researching my own questions, part of my brain goes, "Woah, hold on there, Einstein. We haven't had our second nap yet Why don't you go grab that duck feather pillow there, and we'll think about this in an hour."

I ALso Love 'This American Life'
Especially now that they started offering podcasts of their show for free.
Each show will be offered as a free podcast for one week starting the Monday after it airs. After one week, you can buy it for $.95 from iTunes or Audible.com*.
Linky linkyI Love Keith Olbermann
He has a talent for giving scathing yet eloquent critiques that manage to avoid descending into a polemic rant because of the truth behind his accusations. This one deals with the Bush administration use of fear as a political tool. It's 10 min. long, but it's worth to at least watch the first 5 minutes.

Time Babies
I wish my thoughts were as evocative as the title, but alas, I am poorer than Yorick. Random musings:
* It would be neat to find out if there is any correlation between the frequency of a name chosen for a baby and the number of months before birth it was decided upon. Or if there is a correlation between the amount of time the parents took to think about the name and the obscurity of the name. I don't know what trend I suspect to find. "Daddy, where did you get my name from?" "Well, Recliner, we weren't expecting Mommy to go in labor so soon, and..."
* Some developing countries are growing so rapidly that it affects the time scale of technological adaptation, with some interesting results. For example, in India there are three times the number of cell phones that they are land lines. If India's economic boom had occurred twenty years ago, they would likely have the same landline telephone infrastructure as the U.S. and other countries. In a way, India has skipped over a rung on the technological ladder.
* I don't pre-screen my friends for an affinity for listening to NPR, or having an open mind, or liking to read books. But most of them do. There are some activities and hobbies people have that correlate to their likability (in my eyes), even though I often end up liking the person before learning of these hobbies.
There are also some activities and hobbies that have absolutely no relation to the person's personality or character. It doesn't matter a bit if my friends share these interests. Taste in music comes to mind. I don't think one's taste in music says anything about a person. I have never felt more or less connected to a person based on what bands they favor. It's as irrelevant as hair color, or number of siblings, and that strikes me as really odd. What does that say about music?

The Internet TV Archive
It's called "TV Links", but I like my name better. Lends a sense of grandeur.
It's a hodgepodge of links to TV shows online. Most the shows are currently running or have recently aired, but there are some links to some ancient oddballs too. Like Legend of Zelda: The Animation Series. (Actual line from show: "LINK: Well, excuuuuuuse me, princess.")

Warning
I saw a baby stroller with this warning label: DO NOT LEAVE STROLLER UNATTENDED!
If you have to be told by an inanimate object not to abandon your child, are you even in the market for a baby carriage? I think these parents, when perusing the chart of baby transportation options, saw "burlap sack" and said, "Hoo yah. Let's roll."
There is no point for a dumb warning label when it can be dumb and funny at the same time. "THIS STROLLER IS NOT A MAGICAL DEVICE THAT RENDERS YOUR BABY INVISIBLE IN TIMES OF DANGER. IT WILL NOT SOUND LIKE A CAR ALARM IF SOMEONE STEALS YOUR BABY. DO NOT LEAVE NON-MAGICAL STROLLER UNATTENDED. ALSO, BY NON-MAGICAL, WE ARE NOT IMPLYING THERE IS A MAGICAL VERSION OF THIS STROLLER. MAGIC DOES NOT EXIST. STOP VOTING FOR TAX CUTS. THE NATIONAL DEBT IS $8.5 TRILLION. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE $8.5 TRILLION IN MONOPOLY MONEY. BRAD PITT LOOKS LIKE A CHUPACABRA UP CLOSE. BRITNEY SPEARS USES HER BABY AS A HOOD ORNAMENT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH MAGIC ANYMORE. GOOD NIGHT.

OMG!!! INTERNET GAMBLING BANNED!
Except that it hasn't been.
Last week, Sen. Frist attached the "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act" to a port security bill at the last minute. The act was allowed to be attached to the bill late at night on a voice vote, and the port security bill was signed into law by President Bush on Friday.
While there are literally millions of Americans that play poker online, I suspect the media initially picked up the story because of the economic ramifications. Online gambling is taxed and regulated in the U.K. and most of Europe. Poker company stocks traded overseas lost around 60% of their price and billions of dollars in market value.
Money is a great quality for any story. It's one of the Three Media Musketeers, along with sex and violence. Now if only Rockstar Games could create a video game that allows you and a friend to bet on how quickly you can beat-up hookers. They wouldn't even need a clever name. They could just call it "Money-Hooker-Smash" and make a fortune.
The media's initial handling of the story made me realize how easy it is to fool editors. Although the act is named, "Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act" the act doesn't make it illegal to play poker online. It's still legal. The first 3/5 of the bill's title is a lie. The law makes it illegal for U.S. banks and credit card companies to directly transfer money to and from overseas online poker sites.
Yet the act's name says Unlawful, Internet, and Gambling, all in the same sentence. So, according to many news outlets: "Internet Gambling Made Illegal" (or, in a nod to nuance, "Internet Gambling Made Practically Illegal)"
Perhaps it's unfair to except accuracy immediately in a 24/7 news environment. Check 1: The words were in order. Check 2: Screw it. We got check 1.
If the act was titled, "Gambling Internet Unlawful Act Enforcement Poodle" and the AP ran a photo of a pink poodle in a cop uniform beating up a computer playing poker, then I'd have more of a case.
The arguments against online gambling are absolutely ridiculous and inconsistent with how we treat similar activities. If you can day trade from the privacy of your home for as much money and as long as you want, why can't you do the same with online poker? You can even play for much lower stacks online than live. The minimum stakes at a casino is usually $1/$2--every online site offers games for $.10/$.20.
Alcoholism is a terrible problem, but that doesn't mean we should ban alcohol. We tried that before. It's called...I forget. I had too much to drink tonight. But if our government isn't going to stop me from crashing my car into a 7-11 and run around the store naked with a Slurpee cup over my crotch, then it has no business trying to discourage people from gambling online.
Most arguments by poker players in support of online poker playing are sound, although some of them try too hard. My favorite is one I heard on a poker radio show: "By letting us gamble at home, it keeps us from driving drunk on the streets." Way to win the hearts and minds, guys.
There are a lot of interesting background nuggets about the situation.
* Sen. Frist's motivation. He has been continually pandering to the religious right to secure their support (and dollars) for his Presidential run. Remember Terry Schiavo?
* Anti-gambling groups have been trying to get a bill like this passed for years. One reason they haven't been able to up until now is because the now-disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff worked to prevent any anti-gambling ban that would hurt his clients, the Indian casinos. Abramoff's work tainted online gambling in a way. "If he defended it, then it must be bad."
* While the bill is difficult to enforce, and most poker players use third-party payment system already that aren't affected by the law, public online gambling firms have pulled out of the U.S. market, which is 1/2 of the total online market. The reason is that, as publicly-held companies, their operations and relationships with banks can't have any hint of illegality or being involved in a legal gray area.
* PartyGaming, a public company with a 50% market share in the U.S., has pulled out of the market, leaving a huge vacuum for private companies to seize.
* Most of poker's recent popularity has come from televised poker shows. These shows get a significant amount of revenue from online poker sites. It's unclear how many of these shows will survive now that some companies no longer operating in the U.S. has no reason to advertise in the country.
* There are a lot of angry, life-long Republicans who play poker and say they aren't voting Republican this year because of the bill. I don't think it will affect any elections though. There's a big online tournament on Voting Day.

Movie Recommendations?
My desire to move out of my Mom's house is debatable by the fact that I signed up for Netflix's free two-week trial and arranged all my speakers so the sound waves would form a nexus directly over my bed, on which a bank of pillows has been thoughtfully placed.
It's been a while since I've rented a lot of movies, so I need some recommendations. First, here are mine:
Movie theater: Little Miss Sunshine. It's hilarious, heartfelt and lives up to the glowing reviews.
Rentals: Full Metal Alchemist. It's a Japanese anime series (English dubbed) about two young brothers on a request to restore their bodies into their original, human form. I watched 13 1/2-hour episodes so far and it keeps getting better. The series' creators wholly adapted the language of film, and it shows up in all facets of the story telling, from the camera angles used to the evocative music.
Dodgeball: Ben Stiller: Evil Dodgeball guy. Vince Vaughn: Good Dodgeball Guy. That's pretty much the whole movie. The movie has a lot of funny, silly moments that somehow makes its formulatic elements more comforting than annoying. If this movie were a food, it would be pizza.
Battlestar Galatica: If you like TV science fiction, this is your best bet. Hot pilots, gripping drama, and robots. What more could a sci-fi fan ask for?
Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale. I've watched the shortened Comedy Central version of his stand-up three times. Besides the fact that his jokes are hilarious, I admire him for choosing to be funny without using crutches like cursing or taking cheap shots at ethnic groups.
Okay, so what do you recommend? Post a comment with your picks.

Whoever Said "You Can't Go Home Again"...
...never met me.
I couldn't find a place before my lease ended at the end of September, so I moved in with my Mom for a week or so. Or a month. Or a year. This place is a trap.
The problem with moving in is that, in my old home, I lived in a dingy townhouse with a moderate-sized and cramped common areas. In my Mom's house, I have my sleeping room, my changing room, my storage garage, my storage basement, and my guest room. Tina is visiting for the weekend, and in the spirit of generosity, I decided to let her stay in my changing room rather than my guest room, which, to be honest, doesn't allow one the full range of comfort a guest should expect in another person's home.
My best hope for getting out of here was a few days after I moved in, before my comfort items were unpacked and my Mom's efforts to get me to stay with her by cooking nightly meals for a while took hold.
I know it's not good for me to stay home, but it's easy. I feel like I'm on vacation. Driving 45 min. each way to walk dogs for a few hours is a pain, but I know if I stopped it would just make it easier for me to dilly-dally. I dilly enough as it is in my life. I don't need to dally.
One motivation for moving out is that I'm turning 30 in two months. I really don't want to be living with my Mom when I'm 30. Arbitrary in a way, yes, but if I'm still living with my Mom in two months, I might as well quit my job and dig up a 2005 Holiday Hecht's catalog so she can start dressing me too.
