Curses!
Steven Pinker on swearing.
Customers From Hell
Bookmine book store has posted a list of stupid customer queries that sounds strangely familiar. When I used to work at Tower Classical, I received variations on these, ranging from "Do you have Taco Belle's Canon—with real cannon?" to "Do you have any records Mozart recorded before he died?"
Cyborgs In the Mist?
Fused protein/silicon chips may point towards a future where wetware becomes a reality. Forget a he-man rig—I want a hi-fi that's a direct neural implant. Just not the 1.0 version, thank you.
D.B. Belches Worst Vile Drivel On Ten Oceans
That's an anagram of "Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code." Oh drat! I just gave away answer #4 on this important cultural quiz. And, if you haven't already done so, read Tony Scott's hilarious review of the movie from yesterday's NY Times.
D'oh, a beer
The Melbourne Symphony plays music on VB bottles. My kind of musc.

Damn Paparazzi!
Huckleberry wants to be left alone.
Dance Like A Monkey!
I've never been a huge New York Dolls fan, but I like the energy of this single—and I love the cameo by the Flying Spaghetti Monster at the end of the clip.
Dance Monkey, Dance
A short film by Ernest Cline. This monkey says yay! Or should that be "oook"?
Danger, Will Robinson!
There's a new worm in town: WORM_SOBER.AG. This baby is toxic and can self propagate. You have to execute it to install it on your system, though. So far, it has been spread through emails puporting to come from the CIA or FBI, claiming that you've been detected "visiting over 30 illegal Websites." You're then asked to download and answer a questionaire. The other version hides as videos of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.
Dangling Conversation
Is the art of conversation really dead? Carlin Romano doesn't buy it, despite a few recent books that eulogize it.
