The New Yorker, September 12th, 2011.
I’m way too old for this show, but I’ve really been enjoying MTV’s “Awkward.” It’s just really cute and charming.
Dear America,
Send bread. ASAP.
Thanks,
Brooklyn, NY
This Hurricane Irene insanity has been great for local stores and supermarkets. The rush to buy just about EVERYTHING (except brussels sprouts) has emptied supermarket shelves, hardware stores, gas stations and liquor shelves in my area of Brooklyn. I imagine the same goes for most of NYC.
Very soon we shall find out if all this hoarding and prepping was worth it.
Be safe y’all.

lol amazing. i had to go to sam’s club for diapers yesterday and i wound up buying a thing of cold cuts just because i thought my cart looked too empty in comparison to the 10 billion other people there. but we already had bread and water! also booze.

This hit my dashboard and I said OOH! out loud.
Clearly we have reached Threat Level Midnight: Agent Michael Scarn and Catherine Zeta Jones must be notified of this.
We’ve expanded the “HIGH” threat level category from eastern North Carolina northward to New England. Computer models are currently trending toward a forecast solution of rare potency for the Northeast. Irene is a serious and multi-hazard threat for the major metropolitan areas of the Northeast along and east of the I-95 corridor. This includes New York City. This hurricane has the potential to produce flooding rains, high winds, downed trees (on houses, cars, power lines) and widespread power outages. Significant impacts along the immediate coast include high waves, surge and beach erosion. For North Carolina, odds are increasing that the main impact will be confined to the Outer Banks and elsewhere in extreme eastern NC The threat level for the east coast of Florida has been decreased to medium as it appears the Sunshine State will be spared from the worst of Irene.
Oh, fuck me sideways.
GUESS WHO IS HEADING TO DC JUST IN TIME FOR THIS! THIS GAL.
Ugh. I really didn’t miss big hurricanes getting all the way up here.
Jesus Christ, Trace Cyrus is procreating? That’s scary. Well, at least the kid has a chance of looking like Brenda Song.
Well Fox News, maybe once on a blue moon you get a homerun.
Holy shit, Fox did something right for once.
I love it!
Jeez, this is the second time I’ve reblogged a Fox News commentator recently. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
What Pete Wentz really whispers in “Dance, Dance”
GUYS SERIOUSLY
THIS IS LIFE CHANGING
I THOUGHT FOR 6 YEARS HE SAID SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
god bless everything fall out boy chooses to be
i lOVE THEM SO MUCH
Oh my God.
he would.
lololol
Me too, confessor. Bernadette and Amy have been such a welcome addition to the show.
Andre, stop doing this! Every time we have a little tiff, you go and run in the bathroom.
Andre, you embarrassed me in front of my friends at Red Lobster! >:(
One of life’s greatest questions finally answered: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
“It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first.”
It turns out there’s a protein, ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), that’s only found in the ovaries of chickens that is crucial to the formation of an egg’s shell.
OC-17 coverts calcium carbonate into calcite crystals, which in turn form the shell. No OC-17, no shell, and since OC-17 is only found in chicken ovaries, the chicken had to have come first.
Well, shit. Huh.
Science. Kicking ass and answering all the questions.
It was a world first and revealed that one potential purpose of the protein ovocledidin-17 is to speed up the production of eggshell within the chicken so that in 24 hours an egg is ready to be laid.
“What we have really identified is that the protein seems to accelerate the crystallization process so it can make that eggshell appear far quicker. In simple terms it accelerates calcite formation,” Freeman said.
They also found that the egg can’t be produced without the protein ovocledidin-17 in the chickens’ ovaries, so that means that the chicken must have come first. Right?
“Obviously, it’s not really what we were trying to get out of our simulations, but it’s an interesting question isn’t it?” Freeman said.
Rather than putting an end to bickering over the true order of the egg, the researchers were trying to understand more about how shell is formed so that they can apply their findings in other disciplines, including medicine.
“The quote my colleague John Harding always says is, ‘could we ever be as clever as algae?’” Freeman said.
“They produce these wonderful shells that protect them in the North Sea. That crystal structure is far in advance of anything that we as humans can create in the lab,” Freeman said, adding, “We can’t make a human skeleton in the lab…”
Perhaps one day they will be able to. And perhaps one day someone will conclusively put an end to the argument – was it the chicken or the egg?
Science. Neat, but not always big on the absolute conclusions.
