Columbia Business School doesn't like Ben Bernanke. The Previous Link is a
Music Video from Columbia Business School. No Billy Joel, but it is a music parody. You might not like music parodies which is A-Okay, but this is a financial focused music parody from a business school improv group. It made me smile wanely a few times, but I still enjoyed it. You might not. I am sorry if you do not. If you don't, maybe you would like a video about
munchkin kittens.

Those of us who were born in the 1970's have a number of indelibly permanent shared experiences. Relive a few of them with

So we've already learned how babies are made in
Germany. But we haven't seen

Satyajit Das was discussed
earlier on Mefi. This

At what point do you get a perma? I'm not going to link back to the post, but Reklaw's Harry Potter post was out of line on a major level.
Am I overreacting?

September 30th, 2002, scientists intercepted a 10 minute radio burst from the galactic center, 26,000 Light Years away. 77 minutes passed, and it repeated. And again. The signal repeated 5 times that evening.
Some think those signals are
weird mysterious.
Others think they are
interesting mysterious.

Does the self linking ban apply if you move a clip from someone's page onto your youtube to save their bandwidth?
The video in question isn't theirs, it's simply someone hosting a clip from a tv show.

So it started with the
original (NSFW) Eric Prydz video . Then we got a
Parody (NSFW?) of the original. Now we have a completely different band doing a
Sequel (NSFW). Hughes Corporation revisits the leg warmer plight of the original song. A continuing saga...
