Delicatessen
I watched this one on the Netflix Instant too. Lots of pretty great moments!
sarahbibi:
Long before award-winning director Jean-Pierre Jeunet showed the world his talent with Amelie, he directed a film called Delicatessen which was released in 1991. While still incredibly whimsical and aesthetically pleasing, Delicatessen just can’t match Amelie. That being said, I never expected it to do so...
One of my favorite songs by The Smiths. This is really good!

– I wonder how this will translate to those a little bit older than the youth he’s talking about here — how living our Working Lives in the realtime stream will help or hinder us as we pass through our adult lives and careers.

Seems reasonable to me.
ideleteme:
When I take the totally unreasonable and crazy precaution of removing peanut products from my cabinets, I make sure to replace them with a fully loaded gun. Sometimes a beehive. And then I refill whatever water has evaporated from the tub, throw in some new pieces of candy, and make sure they sink to the bottom. After that, I restock the colorful bendy straws right next to toxic...
What's up with all these kids being allergic to...
I’ve often wondered this myself.
jayparkinsonmd:
Approximately 3.3 million Americans are allergic to nuts, and even more, 6.9 million, are allergic to seafood. However, all told, serious allergic reactions to foods cause just two thousand hospitalizations per year (out of more than thirty million hospitalizations nationwide). And, at most, only 150 people (both children and adults) die...

Cee-Lo covers Band of Horses. →
SO GOOD! I want an mp3.
Band of Horses are honored to report that the one and only Cee-Lo Green has lent his unparalleled vocal styling to a cover of “No One’s Gonna Love You!” Zane Lowe premiered the song today on his BBC Radio 1 show, calling it “the hottest record in the world.” You can listen to the track by launching the player here and skipping to the 30...
Tooth regeneration gel?? →
Scientists have developed a gel that rebuilds teeth. It could replace drilling & filling as the treatment of choice for cavities.
The gel or thin film contains a peptide known as MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Previous experiments, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that MSH encourages bone regeneration.
Bone and teeth are fairly similar,...
