I came across this article full of huge, engorged words that all seem to say one thing: Watermelons have viagra-like effects on the human body. That last sentence started with the words ‘I came.’ Can you believe it?
Here’s your homework assignment: have sex tonight. Consider this the control for our experiment. Now, eat as much watermelon as you can this week, copulating again on Saturday. Same partner. Same positions.
We’ll check in again at the end of the week to see how things came out. Came out. Double whammy.…

Music Festival, and support Alexis Rosenzweig, a creative entrepreneur trying to bring a quality indie summer fest to the city of Brotherly Love (See her with shades and a walky-talky in pics below).

Tomorrow (05/07/08) at 2 pm, Lucky Dragons and a few cohorts are playing in the East River Amphitheater (Cherry St. @ FDR Drive). Lucky Dragons is a one man, two laptop and plastic recorder operation with a serious emphasis on audience participation and creating interactive audio applications. It’s one of the few laptop projects out there that sounds human and organic.

Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver, colloquially known as the Naked Chef for his simple recipes, teaches a live audience how to determine the gender of adorable baby chickens. The audience then sets off on separating the boys from the girls, gleefully examining the birds’ tiny yellow bottoms.

We couldn’t help compare it to Black 20’s Sheffield Quigley. Quigley was the first professional myspace photographer. This is no lazy sunday, but we really enjoy how they classify types of social network photos and how they might have been created.
Another great facebook video comes from the UK, set at someones door step, displaying the discomfort and possible downside to friending…
