20 years ago
(the year I moved to Detroit), the
Tigers won the World Series. What should have been a proud moment for a city such as Motown quickly deteriorated, culminating in
this photograph of fan
Bubba Helms, which came to symbolize the riots that ensued (he later died of an overdose, following a failed suicide, broken marriage, mental illness, and addiction). Having a tradition of arson (
Devil's Night), (
1), (
2), during which some residents have
burned houses while others
protected,
bustin' caps to celebrate the New Year, and uneasy
race relations may have contributed, though sports psychologists point to
deindividuation (and
booze) when seeking to explain
hooliganism over the home team's victory.

Appropriate response

How Bush Did.
Later for the polls, pundits, and analysis. The five minute .wmv found
here sums up the President's performance. Partisan, sliced, edited, and damned
scary funny.

Scientists infuse endurance genes into mice.
Researchers say they have created a transgenic mouse with muscles like a marathoner, capable of enduring rigorous exercise for extended periods of time. Is
cloning and genetic engineering gaining a little more
acceptance? I for one would like to welcome our...ah, to hell with it...

Quit for the kitty?
Dr. Antony Moore knows smokers often won't quit to protect themselves or their children. But he hopes his new study tying second-hand smoke exposure to the most common kind of feline cancer will persuade some people to kick the habit. (via bko)

Curly and Motly are kinda cute, but Luncheon and Lambchop look might tasty.
The children from St Canices school in Westport New Zealand welcome you to Lambs Online, where ten of our students are ‘fostering’ 10 lambs which have been ‘adopted’ by a group of Japanese school children from their sister city in Amagese Japan. Each lamb has its own personal website and we invite you to follow their progress through the eyes of our students by clicking on the photos and links below.

Jihad vs. McWorld
I read this in
college, and it was recently talked about on
NPR. (I did a search on MeFi and couldn't find it linked). Interesting article written 9 years ago but significant today, addressing the
"brutal realities of Jihad and the dull realities of McWorld". Thoughts? (warning, loooong read)

Arnold had a full grill in Total Recall,
but
Hopes for manned — and especially a "womanned" mission to Mars — might hinge on teeth. The bone-weakening effects of zero-gravity environments might lead to permanent tooth loss, says a government dentist.

Brothel Goes Live on Net
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - Rio de Janeiro's Vila Mimoza (Pamper Village) brothel is propelling the oldest profession in the world into the 21st century. Within the next two weeks, the Vila Mimoza prostitution cooperative, just north of downtown Rio, plans to launch a Web site (http://www.vilamimoza.com.br) aimed at luring customers and making the "village'' a major stop on the tourism trail. Oh boy. Not much different than porn sites, but the "sex workers' labor movement in the 1970s" history tidbit could be interesting.

State Rep. Forwards Racist E-mail
A state representative forwarded an e-mail to fellow lawmakers this week that claimed, "Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity....There's a lot of it that's truth, the way I see it," Davis said. "Who came to this country first -- the white man, didn't he? That's who made this country great."
i don't know about you, but i feel dumber for having just read that story.
