Why is there even a Finnish GWAR imitation to start with?

1. Via Bookslut, an accurate and zingful description of "guy lit", the brother of "chick lit". Edit: The link I entered earlier doesn't work because the Chron wants you to pay for that article.
   
   
2. Today's quote on immigration insanity is from Arizona's governor: "Show me a 50-foot wall, and I'll show you a 51-foot ladder." (Molly Ivins)
   
   
3. The 'Vark points to an adrants article about the "Morgellons disease" phenomenon that suggests it's a big ol' hoax. I have my suspicions too, since it's 1) totally crazy and 2) a sudden big new thing on the internet.
   
   
4. Blunders! Failures! Science Oopsies! DEAD MALLS!
   
   
5. "Thanks" to do_not_lick for alerting me to this miracle diet based on an important book which everyone should read.

Someone tell those ninnies that his name wasn't Da Vinci! It's like saying, "What would Of Nazareth do?"

The article has since retracted the comment on Morgellons, as the CDC actually does recognize it as a syndrom.

Yeah I saw. The unanswered question for me is whether the current Internet buzz on the stuff was created by some ad agency. It looks way too much like that.
