Wisdom of the Ancients: Football Edition
Joe Montana climbs down from the mountain long enough to impart this nugget upon us: how to be clutch:During his football career, Joe Montana steered his team to 31 come-from-behind victories that left opponents stunned. Playing as a backup for Notre Dame, he once came off the bench with the score 30-10 with 15 minutes to play and led the team to a 31-30 win.
In the 1982 NFC Championship game with 4:54 left on the clock, Montana moved San Francisco 89 yards down the field and topped the possession with a miraculous off-balance pass to the corner of the end zone for the winning touch down.
Montana seems like the perfect professor to teach a class on how to be clutch, yet he says being ready for dire moments begins long before you get on the field.

I love Jalopnik's title: "Original Sin":The Cobra, eponymous with brutal performance, was in its day the most rabid street-legal car available. Cramped, noisy, and harsh, it's everything a sports car should be, with no dilution from the primary purpose of speed at all costs- it's a thinly veiled race car. This is to have been expected, as it was the brainchild of one of America's best race drivers- Carroll Shelby.In time, this train of thought begat the Shelby Daytona and the hopped-up Mustangs. And all was right in the world.

Set phasers for crispy!
Might laser-cooked bacon be the next great advance in cured pork technology?The bacon cooked well on the top layer, so well that it was slightly charred. After cooking the bacon was thinner after two passes, but didn’t shrink in width like it does with you cook on a pan. It’s possible that some of the top layer of meat was vaporized, but I assume mostly it was cooked.Or it's "the worms." Interesting idea, but...meh, the results -- odd texture, uneven cooking, and possible parasites -- doesn't sound optimal. I think I'll stick to microwaves, or deep-frying where available.
After two passes I stopped it, the top was already slightly charred, I think if I went any further it would have been mostly charcoal. Maybe a longer cook at a lower setting would make better bacon.
I did try it after the process, it was charred on top, undercooked on the bottom, but still tasted like bacon. I did get a mild upset stomach after, but that was probably psychological.

Pig flus + zombies + Battle Royale = Highschool Of The Dead
The illustrations by Shouji Sato were what originally caught my eye, and the more I saw Highschool Of The Dead, the more I wanted to learn about it.If you can distill out the Japanese manga/anime hyperbole, it has interesting thoughts into how the general population, media, and public services might respond to open pandemic.
Of note: the 1918 "Spanish flu" pandemic (the prior instance of H1N1) gets mentioned in Chapter 2. In conjunction with how zombies happen, you know it'll be a supergood apocalypse.
Not so sure of the legality behind this -- although I don't know where a genuine translation can be obtained -- you can read the manga on One Manga.

Zombification now has an explanation. Thanks Harvard, you bastards...In Night of the Living Dead, zombies are brought back from the dead by a "mysterious force" that allows their brains to continue functioning. But how exactly does a zombie brain function? Finally, a Harvard psychiatrist [-- Dr. Steven C. Schlozman, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a lecturer at the Harvard School of Education --] has the answers.More of the truth regarding this horror from the beyond can be uncovered in io9.

Because I'm teh suck at this
I can never dice onions without looking like a chimp off its meds, so I'll have to watch this a few more times to just seem on the meds.
Fonts + free = ???
Abduzeedo has a dozen free fonts laying around. Poke around a little and you'll find links to even more free stuff in addition to fonts, like Brushes and Shapes.There might even be a new Granola Mine banner in there somewhere...

Reason #4080 why GM (via Buick) is teh suck: in an era of poor economics and not-so-cheap gas they're proceeding with the "Enclave"...It's fairly obvious that this is a proposal for a large Buick CUV, but it's hard to tell exactly what model this'll eventually turn into given the conceptual nature and constant change within the automaker's design studios. Given that they've opted to build this in full size rather than as a scale model leads us to believe there might be something brewing here.If only they'd brought back the Riviera or Grand National, I might be driving a different car...

Mark Geragos: Smoking those rocks
It's bad enough that David Carridine died under strange circumstances, but his family and their attorney -- world-renowned ambulance-chaser Mark Geragos -- are forwarding a superawesome theory for motive: a kung fu cult...David Carradine was murdered by an underworld martial arts sect, his grieving family claims.Good luck with getting your truck back, Jack Burton.
The veteran actor was on the verge of exposing the secret sect when he was "assassinated" in a Bangkok hotel, they believe.
[....]
"David was very interested in investigating and disclosing secret societies, absolutely," Mr Geragos said on US talk show Larry King Live.
"What that means is connected to his interest in martial arts.
"And so there is a suspicion that, if there was some foul play, that may be the first area they should look."

Jamaica = Brokedick Capital of the World
According to Newsweek via The Frisky via F-listed:Doctors in Jamaica attribute daggering to a threefold increase in broken penises. As a result, government officials have banned any type of media promoting the dance, which simulates rough sex. Apparently, those who try to dagger in the bedroom—the same rowdy moves minus the “simulation”—are getting hurt.All three links were kind enough to include the youtube vid of Mr. Vegas' Daggering as an example.
Of course, if you've been around The Mine long enough, you know where to find the BEST. EXAMPLE. EVAR!
Cosplay: You're doing it right!
When cosplay is bad, it can be awful, but when it's good, it can be great.This particular portrayal of Street Fighter Cammy White is another one of those great instances.

Everybody's favorite fake-lesbian/fake-schoolgirl singing act -- t.A.T.u -- has resurfaced, minus the schoolgirl outfits. They've apparently stayed big in Soviet Russia -- they're MTV Russia Legends awards winners already, but have only been around for about 10 years, WTF? -- and are going to drop a plate on the decadent West sometime soon.But then the only thing they were really good at was the kissing.
