EZB8, House4Sex in Athens

Sifting through the Archinect discussions, I came across EZB8, House4Sex. Some guy in Athens is supposedly offering free room & board to girls provided that they be "the landlord's lover for a night." Genius in every man's eyes dick.

AE follows A&F's culturally ignorant design.

Just over a year ago, Abercrombie pulled its questionable "Chinaman" shirts from shelves, and this week American Eagle follows suit with its Ganesha chappals. You'd think the people smacking on these trendy images would learn a thing or two after the Nike Allah sneakers in the late 90's. [additional article]

Creative storytelling at Flight404.com. Visited this link a long time ago from the forever-in-hiatus K10K when it was a white splace page with a vector drawing of a plane, now it's a great online story.

Stanford's distributed client isn't looking for extraterrestrial life. Instead it's trying to find out how proteins fold, which "is a holy grail of modern molecular biophysics," through computer simulations.

Armageddon in 30 years? Okay, so maybe hyped up a bit, but there's a 1:500 chance that whatever's out there might hit us. For now scientists don't know if it's really an asteroid, or just some leftover shuttle parts. [via SlashDot]
