Also, bagged salad is on sale for a dollar at the grocery store

Suddenly I've overcome with cool sites and news, so here's a run-down of stuff worth sharing:

  • Great googlymoogly, the new Rosebuds album is available streaming in its entirety here. In addition, it is available for pre-order now - otherwise you can wait until April 10 to have a walk down to your favorite record store. If you don't know The Rosebuds, they're sort of guitar DIY-ishness except not as lame as my description made that sound. Although listening to the stream now, it sounds like they've mixed things up a bit this time around. You can listen to four of their songs on myspace too if you'd like.
  • Came across this chart entitled Religion and Sexual Ethics online today, republished as it originally appeared in the SF Chronicle in 1994. Notice how the Buddhists are down with just about everything and, say, the Catholics are down with NOTHING.
  • Umm, GodTube. It's like YouTube, only for Christians. Behold, the banana, the atheist's worst nightmare. Dan Savage offers a comparison:
    But... hmm... what else has a point at the top, for ease of entry, and is just the right shape for the human mouth? And is sometimes curved toward the face to make a whole other process even easier?
    Guess we should all be thanking the Lord for that as well. Well, not me personally. I'm a girl.
  • Finally, Neal Pollack relates the questions his little boy asked while Dad tried to teach him to play Millipede:

    "Daddy, why are there bugs?"

    "There just are."

    "Then why am I shooting them?"

    "Because they want to kill you. In this game. Not in real life."

    "In real life they want to suck my blood."

    "Some of them do."

    "Or eat poop."

    "Again, some of them."

    Heh. I can't wait for my son to start talking.
