odd news link dump

not much kicking a-my way, so i thought i'd hit up the news resources for some good old link fun.

quite a while back, adam had a story about make-up and attractiveness. this article reminded me of it. the results of the study are interesting, but i'm hesitant to say that clothing is an outward sign of fertility.

this story makes me sad. i can't imagine having to deal with fear of reprisal every day just because you want to make an honest living. and, in all honesty, it reveals a bit of why i didn't like working in the court schools.

this article makes me think that bush and putin are really cut from the same mold. perhaps it's why they don't seem to like each other very much, too much alike. "Putin called the Novaya Gazeta reporter's contract-style slaying Saturday "a crime of loathsome brutality." But he drew the ire of Politkovskaya's admirers when he also portrayed himself as a victim and implied that her articles had damaged Russia."

who killed the electric car? well, the l.a. times keeps printing articles about companies doing it, so i guess no one. although, i think everyone involved would say that it's hardly a booming industry.

"they're the wrong trousers grommit!"

this stinks. apparently, it has nothing to do with test scores.

these may be the worst ten reasons not to go to a psychic.

"gimme back my son...errr...rock!" stupid tsa.

Soooo, are professional boxers, UFC fighters, and wrestlers not allowed to fly because their bodies are dual purpose objects or whatever?

I wonder, if Max Baer was still alive, would he have to go everywhere by bus after killing two men in the ring?
