Local climate skeptic mocked on Daily Show Some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a long time	Trina Stout	20 Apr 2007	Gristmill
Remember that wacky Federal Way, Wash. father who opposed showing An Inconvenient Truth in public schools? ("Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore!") Well, he's back, and on the Daily Show: Some choice quotes, in case you can't watch the video: 'The global warming we're experiencing right now would have to be God's wrath ... These are precursors to the rapture, which should occur in about, you know, 5 to 7 years ...' 'If you ha ...

TPM on Kerry on Colbert	David Roberts	18 Apr 2007	Gristmill
I'm sure lots of you follow TalkingPointsMemo, one of the earliest and still best political blogs on the net. They've started doing a (rather charmingly low-budget) daily TV show, and today they debuted a clip wherein they interview John Kerry before he goes on the Colbert Report. They also got some interesting footage from backstage. Here it is:

Shalom, goodbye This model is no longer untouchable	Yolanda Crous	18 Apr 2007	Gristmill
During college, I went through an ill-advised phase during which I tacked photos of supermodels I was never, ever going to look like on my dorm-room walls. One of my twiggy idols was Shalom Harlow, whom I loved because she a) really knew how to work the red lipstick and b) seemed like the least approachable person on the planet. No longer. This year, not only did she show up on the cover of Domino's Green Issue, she also (as Amanda Griscom Little reported) pop ...

Birds fight back Beaked inhabitants of the world, unite	Adam Browning	13 Apr 2007	Gristmill
In a disturbing development, there are indications that birds, apparently pissed at the concerted assault on their habitat, are organizing to fight back against the man they hold responsible. Also at issue are what birds claim are repeated efforts to shoot them in the head.'It's happened so many times that the old 'Sorry, I was drunk and cleaning my gun' routine just doesn't cut it anymore,' said Mal R. Duck in a recent interview. "He shoots his buddy and it ma ...

Tastes like chicken T. Rex with feathers	biodiversivist	13 Apr 2007	Gristmill
Yahoo News puts it this way: Based on the small sample we've recovered, chickens may be the closest relatives (to T. rex),' says geneticist John Asara of Beth Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, co-leader of a team reporting the discovery of faint traces of chicken-like bone lining preserved inside a dinosaur drumstick. Science says it this way: To address this latter possibility, we generated aligned sequences obtained from chicken collagen 1t1 (the most closel ...

Global warming floods London ... In Second Life	Chris Schults	09 Apr 2007	Gristmill
How did Grist miss this one last week, as reported by National Geographic News? Tokyo, Amsterdam, and the entire Mediterranean island of Ibiza were inundated with floodwaters today due to rising sea levels brought on by global warming. Oh: Or at least, that would have been the headline if events in the virtual world Second Life mirrored reality. A rolling flood temporarily swamped several areas of the online world as part of a campaign to illustrate the poten ...

Lame over The latest attempt to make learning about the environment fun is ... not fun	Yolanda Crous	09 Apr 2007	Gristmill
Starbucks and Global Green USA have teamed up to put together a new online game called Planet Green. The objective: Travel around a small town called Evergreen (Get it? Ever ... green ... ha!) looking for ways to save on CO2 emissions. The game reminds me of something that might be produced to teach small children about the dangers of sexual predators or crossing the street in heavy traffic. Well-intentioned, yes. A whole lotta fun? Heck to the no.The problem, m ...

Paper? They still make that stuff? Good one, Google	Kate Sheppard	01 Apr 2007	Gristmill
I'll admit it. Google's Gmail Paper April Fools Day gag got me late last night when I was all tired and groggy and indignant: 'Everyone loves Gmail. But not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well, you asked for it, and it's here. We're bringing it back.' Paper made from post-consumer organic soybean sputum? Genius.

Move your butt Speedboat powered with ass fat.	Clark Williams-Derry	18 May 2006	Gristmill
Uh, folks, is this story real? Saving the planet can be a real pain in the butt. Just ask Peter Bethune, who's powering his speedboat with biodiesel made of fat from his backside.That's right, Wired is reporting that some dude turned his own liposuction fat into a liter of biodiesel. OK, so he admits it's just a symbolic gesture -- part of a publicity stunt to promote renewable fuels. The main event is breaking the round-the-world speed boat record in a rad-loo ...
