Sunday Scraps 41

1. EQUALITY: How can we combat the misguided and preposterous belief that allowing gays to marry will someone lead the way to people marrying toasters, dogs, and dead people? A handy diagram to hand out to all your idiot friends.

2. LIBRARY: Flavorwire has a highly subjective list of the 25 most beautiful college libraries. I’m not going to argue though, because Harper is #8.

3. PUBES: Ever wonder about the history of pubic hair? Yeah, me too. The Atlantic takes a historical approach the current trend of ripping it all out.

4. FASHION: Blogger Marissa at New Dress A Day buys heinously ugly dresses and revamps each and every one to make something contemporary and wearable. And she does this every day.

5. ADORBS: Even babies who don’t know any words can mimic the speech patterns of rap music. So freaking cute (and so is the dad….).

6. LEGO: Lego is launching a new line of girls toys called Lego Friends. Businessweek investigates the origins of the new line and Lego’s history with shoving the pink crap in the corner.

Sunday Scraps 11

1. SPORTS: In the wake of a whole bunch of sports-related gay friendliness, Charles Barkley added his two cents, “I’d rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can’t play.”

2. PUBES: Pornstar Ashley Blue just published a memoir, Girlvert. Fifty limited editions actually have one of her pubic hairs embedded in the cover. What ever will they do next?

3. FOOD: Guess how many calories in an average school meal? I’ll say this, it’s embarrassingly high and embarrassingly low in nutritional value. GOOD Magazine has a comparison between school meals and prison meals. Who comes out on top?

4. NEWS: This Newsweek piece does a good job of laying out the rising price tag of disaster journalism against the backdrop of slashed budgets, “Covering Charlie Sheen is cheap; covering Afghanistan is expensive. Boots-on-the-ground reporting may win awards, but it doesn’t pay the bills.”

5. GRAY: Oddity Central has a profile of Daphne Selfe, an 82-year-old supermodel whose career has only gotten hotter as her hair has gotten grayer.

6. TUBE: Ever wonder how the intricate televisions schedules are created every fall? Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about balancing the comedy blocks, crime dramas and reality drivel.
