One too many drinks left you dizzy? Put your hand on something stable. The part of your ear responsible for balance -- the cupula -- floats in a fluid of the same density as blood. "As alcohol dilutes blood in the cupula, the cupula becomes less dense and rises," says Dr. Schaffer. This confuses your brain. The tactile input from a stable object gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more in balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive, this works better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor wisdom.

Playstation 3 price cut by $100, 80gb version due soon... now who didn't see THAT coming?

Looking to jump-start sales of its PlayStation 3 game system, Sony (SNE) has cut the price by $100, to $499, and plans to introduce a $599 package with a larger (80-gigabyte vs. 60-GB) hard drive and one game next month.
Most analysts were surprised at the price cut's timing and size. "We would have figured $50 by Christmas and $100 by next spring," says Richard Doherty of research firm The Envisioneering Group.​

Williams Syndrome: They Like To Talk.. and Talk.. and Talk... :zzz:

If a person suffers the small genetic accident that creates Williams syndrome, he’ll live with not only some fairly conventional cognitive deficits, like trouble with space and numbers, but also a strange set of traits that researchers call the Williams social phenotype or, less formally, the “Williams personality”: a love of company and conversation combined, often awkwardly, with a poor understanding of social dynamics and a lack of social inhibition. The combination creates some memorable encounters.​

Would you have paid $500k for Dog.com? Alex Tabibi did and he has an amazing portfolio that most of us would "kill" for.

Alex Tabibi’s business card features a dog, a horse, a bird, a ferret and a fish.

Call Tabibi, a former oncologist, the Noah of the Internet. His ark: a burgeoning online catalogue empire called UnRealEstate. Formed in 2002 with his brother Carlo, the company sells a slew of products through a collection of sites with generic yet specific URLs--such as Bird.com and Ferret.com--and splits the revenues with product suppliers.

Tabibi's grand plan: to own a blizzard of niche markets online--first in the pet-supply realm, then later covering everything from fountains to solar panels. "We want to be the market leader in whatever niche we enter," says Tabibi, 38.​

Tips From A Pot Dealer! Must Read

A budding Manhattan pot dealer named Peter Dagostino was arrested last year and police found a refrigerator in his apartment stuffed with 88 pounds of marijuana. They also found a list of specific "dos and don'ts" on how to succeed in the drug business. Apparently, a "don't" he forgot to add to his list was "Don't leave a written outline of your criminal enterprise for police to find." Dagostino also had some helpful advice from a fellow dealer. The New York Post explains:

Authorities also found a two-page letter from a fellow criminal acquaintance - full of juicy tips on how to not get arrested while dealing dope.

"The telephone is poison!" reads one tip by the buddy of Peter Dagostino, a 56-year-old musician and recording-studio owner.

"Leave no prints on the interior of the storage box, any packaging material or any paraphernalia," reads another... (more)

Ask a fish head anything you want to
They won't answer they can't talk

I took a fish head out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay to get it in

They can't play baseball they don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers they don't play drums

American Psycho isn’t a political commentary on the Bush Administration or a Huey Lewis music video. Rather it’s a tour-de-force performance by Batman’s Christian Bale. In probably one of Bale’s best on screen performances, he plays psycho womanizer Patrick Bateman who will chill you with this line from the movie:

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable… I simply am not there.

Then again, maybe this description fits many of the common people you meet on the street. Next time someone passes you by on the street with an empty hello, be sure you glance quickly over your shoulder. It may save your life.
