Astronomers need your help
A team of astronomers needs your help. It’s not terribly easy to get computers to distinguish between galaxy shapes, but fortunately humans are not only very good at it, but seem to actually enjoy gazing out in to space. So, go to galaxyzoo.org, look at a few pretty pictures from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey , and help classify millions of galaxies and aid research in to how they form and evolve while you’re at it.

Stormtrooper bike helmet
Luke Pannell, a UK university student, created this “Breathe Air” bike helmet with a built-in air filter. It helps you with your asthma. And it helps you look like a Storm Trooper.
It covers the cyclist’s nose and mouth with a shield behind which the filtered air circulates.
Used air is expelled via a plastic tube when the cyclist exhales.
The helmet, called Breathe Air, was created by 22-year-old Brunel University industrial design and technology student Luke Pannell.

Build bigger boobies from belly blubber! But how do they know to stop growing?
The funniest part is, if stem cells can be used to grow big ass boobs, the US will be all about it… but to help quadriplegics to walk again, and a multitude of others not have to live with debilitating disease? pfft, who cares!

Hey! Hey! You! You! Gonna File A Lawsuit!
The Rubinoos recently filed a lawsuit against Avril Lavigne, claiming that her song Girlfriend (Youtube) plagiarized from their song, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (mp3). An authorized cover version of the Rubinoos song performed by Lush and retitled "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" has even more similarities to the Lavigne song. Now that the teeming millions on the Internets have gotten into the act, YouTubers are now arguing whether Lavigne is a plagiarist, whether the Rubinoos plagiarized from the Rolling Stones, and whether Ms. Lavigne plagiarized a second time. Now that Web 2.0 has made it easier to uncover musical copycats, I’m hot on the case of Bob Marley vs. The Banana Splits.

The Censored Eleven
The Censored Eleven is a group of Warner Brothers cartoons that have been withheld from syndication because of their racial stereotypes: Hittin’ the Trail to Hallelujah Land (1931; info), Sunday Go to Meetin’ Time (1936; info), Clean Pastures (1937; info), Uncle Tom’s Bungalow (1937), Jungle Jitters (1938), The Isle of Pingo Pongo (1938), All This and Rabbit Stew (1941; info), Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs (1943; info), Tin Pan Alley Cats (1943; info), Angel Puss (1944), and Goldilocks and the Jivin’ Bears (1944).
Somehow Tokio Jokio (1943; recap) didn’t make the list.
The "Twelve missing hares" are 12 politically incorrect Bugs Bunny cartoons that weren’t aired during Cartoon Network’s 2001 June Bugs Marathon: Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt (1941; info), Any Bonds Today? (1942; info), What’s Cookin’ Doc? (1944; info), Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips (1944; info), Herr Meets Hare (1945; info), A Feather in his Hare (1948; info), Mississippi Hare (1949; info), Frigid Hare (1949; info), Which is Witch? (1949; info), and Bushy Hare (1950; info), Horse Hare (1960; info). ("All This and Rabbit Stew" is on both lists.)
Bug Bunny does an Uncle Tom parody in Southern Fried Rabbit (1953; info).
Warner Brothers included "Southern Fried Rabbit" uncut on Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4, with this disclaimer:
The cartoons you are about to see are products of their time. They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While the following does not represent the Warner Bros. view of today’s society, these cartoons are being presented as they were originally created because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed.
Oh, also here’s a copy of the full version of 1942’s Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd vehicle “Fresh Hare“, including its habitually censored ending

Armless woman refused service at McDonald’s
Rockford, IL woman Dawn Larson, who was born without arms, was refused service at a McDonald’s drive through, because the staff refused to let her take her food away with her feet (she uses her feet to drive, handle money, etc). The staff were vociferously revolted by the woman’s disability.
McDonald’s head office response? A $10 gift-certificate.
Dawn says her disability’s never stopped her from leading a normal life. “I do everyday things like everyday people.” But on November 3rd, she says that changed. Larson pulled up to the McDonald’s drive through on Kishwaukee Street and ordered food for her and her sons. She drove to the first window, gave the cashier her credit card with her foot, and pulled up to get her food. Dawn says, “The first girl said, ‘Girl, you ain’t got no arms’ and the manager said she couldn’t hand me her food and she just kept sticking to the fact that I didn’t have no arms and she was disgusted by it. I had the right to eat my dinner and feed my kids and they took that away from me.”
Larson says the manager eventually agreed to hand Larson’s son the food. But she says an incident 3 and a half moths later at the McDonald’s on 11th Street didn’t end that way. Larson claims an employee there refused to even do that. “I paid to be discriminated against and I paid to be disrespected and I paid to not even have the right to eat my food.”
Larson says McDonald’s sent her a 10 dollar gift certificate in response to her complaint. Now she’s suing the fast food corporation to prevent anyone else from going through what she did. “That’s saying McDonald’s condones and urges people to treat the handicapped that way. I don’t want that message to come across. I want to fight for my rights and my kids rights and have these things changed.”

“A Compound From Olive-pomace Oil Gets 80% Slowing Down Of HIV Spread”
In the past, various possible treatments and methods have been suspected of helping combat AIDS, which have later been proven correct. Other, less reputable treatments have also been claimed to work, the likes of which descend towards malpractice, pseudoscience and criminal negligence. But in a turnabout, the olive oil element of South Africa’s controversial treatment, deemed to be "Africa’s Solution", actually helps as well.
