Can Coke vs. Bottle Coke
Is there a difference? “The great taste of Coca-Cola is the same regardless of the package it comes in,” they insist. Rather, they say, “the particular way that people choose to enjoy their Coke can affect their perception of taste.” Sure, most people would agree that the cola is indeed delicious and refreshing, and pouring it into a glass or serving it over ice could influence the sensation of its flavor. But is it possible that the subtle variation in taste that some notice among aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles is more than just a psychological effect of their soda-consumption rituals?
Given that the formula is always the same, yes, according to Sara Risch, a food chemist and member of the Institute of Food Technologists. “While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur,” she says. For example, the polymer that lines aluminum cans might absorb small amounts of soluble flavor from the soda. Conversely, acetaldehyde in plastic bottles might migrate into the soda. The FDA regulates this kind of potential chemical contact, but even minute, allowable amounts could alter flavor.
Your best bet for getting Coke’s pure, unaltered taste is to drink it from a glass bottle, the most inert material it’s served in. Even that’s not a sure bet, though. Coca-Cola maintains strict uniformity in processes in all of its worldwide bottling facilities, but it concedes that exposure to light and how long the product sits on store shelves may affect the taste."

"Supergod"
"Supergod is the story of what an actual superhuman arms race might be like. It's a simple thing to imagine. Humans have been fashioning their own gods with their own hands since the dawn of our time on Earth. We can't help ourselves. Fertility figures brazen idols, vast chalk etchings, carvings, myths and legends, science fiction writers generating science fiction religions from whole cloth. It's not such a great leapt to conceive of the builders of nuclear weapons and particle accelerators turning their attention to the oldest of human pursuits. Dress it up as superhuman defense, as discovering the limits of the human body, as transhumanism and posthumanism."

Concept App
I acquired strep throat at work recently and I thought what next? Mono? Cooties? It gave me an idea that a COOTIES app would be fun. You download that app for your iPhone, customize your cootie and then exchange it via an iPhone bump with your friend if they have the app. Kids in school could run around and ask each other if they had 'cooties'.

Comedian Sued By Mother-In-Law
This may be a PR stunt, but it is genius - "Croonquist told the AP that there was a time when her in-laws would laugh at her jokes, "They played my tape at Passover one year, and they loved it," but that things changed after she posted information on her Web site promoting shows in New Jersey that the in-laws said gave away their identities. She says she'll drop any parts of her routine the family finds offensive, but refuses to meet their demands for damages."

The Standard NYC
"If you've got it, flaunt it!" at the exhibitionist-friendly Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District. Even hotel staffers and managers get in on the act, workers said, stripping down and posing provocatively in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows to draw attention to the hotel, which straddles the city's new High Line Park.
The X-rated windows have infuriated some families, neighbors and visitors to the High Line. The hotel's management responded by saying it would make "a concerted effort to remind guests of the transparency of the guest room windows.
Since then, onlookers have reported seeing men masturbating, professional porn films being shot, and couples engaging in sex in full view of park-goers below.
