FUCKING. CORN.

Eggs. Did you know that eggs produced today are Omega-3 DEFICIENT?? Yes, because you see, before we started force-feeding chickens CORN, they used to eat bugs and green leafy vegetables, and produced eggs RICH in Omega-3. So now Omega-3 is being ADDED BACK IN by who-knows-what processes... if commercial farmers would just let the chickens eat what they're supposed to eat, there would be no issue with the healthiness of eggs.

My generation has been completely fucked over by agribusiness, and our parents suffer for it too. Heart disease, diabetes, and all the other "Western" illnesses are going to afflict us like no other generation. Thank goodness I've changed my diet to avoid all that shit as much as possible.

You see, the corn chain (I'd call it a food chain, but that would be a LIE) we're consuming from now has completely upset the normal balance of things. Two fatty acids exist in a yin-yang kind of system in the body: Omega-6, and Omega-3. Your body is basically expecting a 4 to 1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio, and the corn and corn products that ubiqitously permeate everything create a 50 to 1 ratio with these fats in food and feed products. The fat balances in our livestock have changed too - we are what we eat, people. And we... are CORN.

NO MORE CORN SYRUP. DOWN WITH CORN!!!

Dr. Anthrax

The accusations being levelled at the scientist who died recently sound a lot like what you'd expect to hear about the demise of a supervillain.

If any of it is true, the guy is apparently a mad scientist who mailed a bunch of anthrax around because he wanted the chance to test his anthrax vaccine on humans. Which essentially is an act of domestic terrorism; something we've seen plenty of before, and will see more of again. It is terrible that this guy is dead - we'll never know whether or not he did it or what was in his head. I suspect that the investigation must have some leads that led them to suspect an inside job; but what were his real motivations? Was he just a lone actor, and did he pull the whole thing off by himself - or did he have accomplices? Did he have backing from some other outside agency/political entity? How did he avoid capture/suspicion for so many years? Did he really commit suicide... or did somebody help?

This is crazy, crazy stuff. It's like the world's turning into a Tom Clancy novel.

Legal iPhone tethering???

Nullriver just released a $10 app to the App Store that allows you to use the iPhone as a cellular modem.

YES.

Okay, AT&T... please listen to me. I am the victim of an Internet access monopoly in my area. Even if you have to charge me $25 more a month for "really Unlimited Unlimited plan" or even just "Extra Unlimited" because my "Unlimited" plan doesn't allow for tethered cell modem usage - I WILL PAY IT. Right now I am paying $45 a month for cable Internet and the transfer rate sucks due to over-consumption of my network node and bad management. All I really care about is having Internet access for my laptop!

OMG this would be the best thing ever. I so totally want to cancel my Time-Warner account and save myself $600 a year.
