Aww, It’s So Cute (Part II)
The Hello Kitty 9mm Semi-Automatic Pistol (with matching holster!)
When I showed the picture of the Helly Kitty AR-15 Rifle, a Facebook friend suggested such items should instead be called "Goodbye Kitty." I'm not sure how the Sanrio corporation (which holds the rights to Hello Kitty) would feel about that, but it makes sense to me.
Goodbye Kitty should also speak with a basso profundo voice and an Austrian accent.
SCIENTISTS: Dieting makes your brain eat itself!
Aw, It’s So Cute!
Mass Revision now available on NOOK!
You know how salt is bad for everybody and we all need to eat less of it?
Not so much.
Just one more reminder that most diet advice is wrong.
I've been aware of this evidence for some time, but it's nice to see Scientific American publicizing and editorializing on the issue.
SCIENTISTS: “Dieting is stressful and makes you irritable and angry”
And in other news?

Proposal to End Subsidization of Student Loans
Hmmm. Let's see if we can think this through:
1) Government ends subsidization of student loans.
2) Students have to pay more per loan.
3) Students have to think more seriously about taking out a loan.
4) Students take out fewer loans.
5) Colleges have more pressure on them financially.
6) Colleges are forced to make prices more attractive to students
since they can't count on government subsidies on loans.
7) College rates go down.
8) Useless college programs and administrative bloat gets cut.
9) Some students decide not to go to college.
10) These students go to work instead.
11) Work helps economy.
12) These students also not saddled with enormous amounts of debt from
bloated college costs.
13) Colleges don't have as much pressure to dumb-down degrees to the
point anybody can pass since everybody is expected to go to college.
14) Quality of education goes up.
15) Devaluation of college degrees from the fact everyone has them
stops and college degrees improve in value.
16) Government pulls back ever so slightly from an area of the economy
and allows natural market forces to sort things out (to a degree).
17) One less reason for the government to keep more of our money as taxpayers.
