featherynscale: Schmendrick the magician from The Last Unicorn (Baphomet...who?)
List of the day: Top Five Really Nifty Things I'm Not Going To Do, Because I'm Already Too Damned Busy. (You can do them, though, if you like.)

1. Steampunk my keyboard. Even if I do have an extra M-type "clicky" IBM keyboard in the office. (Make the noise! I live for the noise!)
2. Organize the Kansas City Drinkin' and Discussin' Weird Shit Society, in honor of my failure to organize a Drinkin' and Discussin' Weird Shit Evening in honor of the passing of Robert Anton Wilson.
3. Write "The Kaballah of Household and Personal Services". ([livejournal.com profile] kittenpants and I were driving last night and pulled up next to a van labeled "Adonai Beauty Salon", or some such thing. Discussion ensued of whether that was an appropriate godform for hairdos, and if there were appropriate godforms for other service agencies, say, pest control. The hairdo one broke down in an impasse: are hairdos related to Kether, the Crown? Or are they a function of Tiphareth, Beauty? Does it make a difference if they are Really Big Hairdos, with glitter in?)
4. Organize a zombie flashmob.
5. Join the Science Scouts. Even to earn the "inappropriate nocturnal use of lab equipment in the name of alternative science experimentation / communication" badge.

Newsflash: Smart chicks get crazy laid, says the Boston Globe (and it ain't so bad being a smart guy, either).

More dispatches from the No Shit, Really File, as interpreted by this article's author, and then re-interpreted by me:
- Highly educated people tend to form more egalitarian family/love relationships than less-educated people.
- The level of equality in a relationship seems to be correlated to its stability and the level of satisfaction reported by the partners. (No shit, really? If people don't treat their partners like servants, the relationship is better? Who would have guessed?)
- College educated women both give and get more oral sex than less educated women. (No statistics on how people with college educations and penises fare in this area, but one can imagine, I suppose. Also, this was an example cited by the reporter as "being more adventurous in bed". That alone speaks volumes about American sexual repression.)
- Men are less likely to be misogynistic asshats than ever before. Women are less likely to be tolerant of men who are misogynistic asshats than ever before. (Again, no data on how women treat men, or how men tolerate women, or how anybody who isn't in a heteronormative monogamous gender-normative relationship relates to their partner(s), but hey.)
- Other interesting stuff. Read the article, would you?
