meme (giant jellyfish):

They poison fish, sting humans and even attack nuclear power stations. They are 6ft wide, up to 440lb in weight, and they are pink, slimy and repellent. They sound like rubber monsters from a Godzilla film, but they are Echizen kurage, or Nomura’s jellyfish, an authentic horror of the deep about to launch its latest assault on Japan.

Four years after they last caused havoc, and for reasons that remain mysterious, an armada of the gelatinous giants is gathering in the Yellow Sea off China and the Korean peninsula. It is expected to drift into the Sea of Japan in the next few months.

“The arrival is inevitable,” Professor Shinichi Ue, from Hiroshima University, told the Yomiuri newspaper. “A huge jellyfish typhoon will hit the country.”

In 2005, fishermen looking for anchovies, salmon and yellowtail began finding huge numbers of the jellyfish in their nets. When the Nomuras grow larger than a metre in diameter, half a dozen of them can destroy a fishing net. The fish caught alongside them are poisoned and covered in slime and rendered unsaleable.

meme (by the ears):

Not For Sale: There are 27 million slaves worldwide right now. Here’s a map of where they are.

For many people, awareness of modern slavery—especially slavery in America—began with John Bowe, when his article“Nobodies” was published in the New Yorker in 2003. That was subsequently followed by a book of the same title, part of which became the basis for This American Life #344 “The Competition.” Here’s Bowe on NPR’s Marketplace as well.

Now ethicist David Batstone (interview) is devoting his time to abolishing slavery, through his book Not For Sale, and through co-founding the Not For Sale Campaign, which “equips and mobilizes Smart Activists to deploy innovative solutions to re-abolish slavery in their own backyards and across the globe.” Here’s an excerpt from the book.

meme (favorite worst movies):

Choose Me (1984) was written and directed by Alan Rudolph, and oof, is it awful. But it’s also very difficult to quit. The scenes are nicely filmed, surprising things keep happening, but then what actually happens makes no sense, and the characters it happens to are drones. Rudolph assistant-directed Altman’s Nashville, so that explains the Altman-esque pacing, camera work, and floating mikes—everything good about the picture. But Rudolph must also have the tinnest ear in Hollywood—or is the whole thing farce? Who knows?! Maybe I should watch it again. Starring John Larroquette as a sex-starved motorcycling bartender, Rae Dawn Chong as the worst poet in the world, and Keith Carradine in the lead role as a compulsive liar who wants to marry every woman he meets.

meme (honey bunch):

When it was found in Ancient Egyptian tombs, it looked fresh - so somebody tasted it. Honey can last thousands of years without spoiling, a remarkable feat for a foodstuff. These antibacterial and antioxidant qualities of honey have been applied to food preservation for years, but the medical community is just beginning to look closely at how this can be used to assist in healing. In particular, Honey from Australia and New Zealand seems most successful in helping large wounds heal without infection. This is due to particular plants that the bees frequent, which provide greater antibacterial qualities to the honey. The FDA has even approved honey-infused bandages for use in healing. After the buzz of medicinal leeches and medical maggots, I'm glad there's a natural therapy that doesn't creep people out.

meme (man not superman):

She missed normal men. Lois wanted someone normal. That’s how I won over a class act like Lois Lane — it was the fact that I was a mere mortal.

I first met Lois at a charity penny arcade event. At one point in the evening, as I stood hunched over a pinball machine,

I looked over to my side, and there was Lois Lane just standing there, watching me.

The left flipper wasn’t working, so I tried to keep the ball on the right, but when it came down the left,

we yelled like a couple of kids rolling down the side of a mountain together.

“I’ve always wanted to reach in there and hold the silver ball in my hand,” I said.

“I never thought of it that way,” said Lois,

and five minutes later she was ripping open an empty pack of Clorets and writing her number down on the white inside.

Lois was the kind of woman I had always dreamed of. Even her name — so cool and crisp — Lois Lane. It pierced my ear like an arrow.

Lois was the kind of woman who made you feel like “I am a man who dates Lois Lane,” and as simple as that sounds, it is the best way I can describe it.

At first I was a novelty. In the beginning, Lois would kiss my forehead and tell me she loved how squishy my arms were.

Once, I even gave my nipples eyelashes and smeared lipstick around my belly button. Lois swooned as I made my fat gut sing her sweet songs of love.

meme (word):

white lie

It’s based on the ancient Western idea of polar opposites, represented in popular culture through white meaning good and black its evil antithesis. We have white magic, for example, beneficent magic that’s opposed to the malign black variety. The term white paternoster meant a prayer or charm recited to protect against evil at night (of which one version that survives is the old children’s rhyme “Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Bless the bed that I lie on”). The opposite was a black paternoster, a spell recited to conjure up evil spirits or devils.

Along the same lines, a white lie is one that lacks evil intent, as opposed to a black lie, which is most certainly malevolent, though normally we don’t bother to specify that lies are evil. A white lie is harmless or trivial, frequently one said in order to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. The term is first found in the eighteenth century, when it suggested something slightly different:

A certain Lady of the highest Quality ... makes a judicious Distinction between a white Lie and a black Lie. A white Lie is That which is not intended to injure any Body in his Fortune, Interest, or Reputation but only to gratify a garrulous Disposition and the Itch of amusing People by telling Them wonderful Stories.

The Gentleman’s Magazine, 1741.

Anna Kane, 5, of Alton, Ill., top, Sophie Allaway, 4, of Glen Ellyn, Ill., center, and Grace Kane, of Alton, Ill. gaze down from The Ledge at the Sears Tower in Chicago. This enclosed glass ledge juts out from the 103rd floor of Sears Tower, which is the tallest building in the Western Hempisphere. (Tribune photo by José M. Osorio / July 1, 2009)

Three layers of half-inch-thick glass were all that separated me from what looked like Matchbox cars and tiny people about 100 stories below.

My stomach was queasy, and my heart pounded. But the view from this glass box -- about the size of an elevator -- was breathtaking and terrifying, especially for someone who fears heights.

I'm standing on The Ledge, the four new enclosed glass boxes that jut about four feet from the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower. The latest addition to the 110-story high-rise opens Thursday. From the glass boxes, visitors get a nearly panoramic view, from Wacker Drive below and up to 50 miles in three directions on a clear day. The boxes can hold at least 5 tons each, about the weight of an elephant, and they can retract into the building when the windows get washed.

The idea to suspend glass boxes 1,353 feet in the air spawned from all the forehead marks on the glass walls of the 103rd floor, known as Skydeck Chicago, general manager Randy Stancik said. Visitors just love looking down, so the Sears Tower decided to give them an unobstructed view.

Harness A Team Of Oxen

Field	Agriculture
Went Obsolete	First half of the 20th Century in North America
Made Obsolete By	Cheap tractors
Knowledge Assumed	How to handle large domestic animals without injury
When useful	If the tractor breaks down; after the bomb

To plow a field or haul your Conestoga to Oregon, you need animals. Oxen are cheap, being gelded bulls, but mules, donkeys, and horses have also been used.

The ox harness is usually carved out of wood, and features a stout draw bar which is set about the beast's neck with a smaller dowel curved to fit around the neck and pegged into place. The leads and reins are then attached to the draw bar, and to the tool or vehicle you want to pull.

Horse collars are usually made out of leather, but the principle remains the same.

This editor's grandparents used animal labor to tend their farms in northern and central Kentucky at least until the end of the depression. Cheap John Deere, Ford, and Alliss Chalmers tractors at first supplemented, and then replaced the animal labor.

WHOLE THEORY OF BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE
posted 9:46 AM

'My whole theory of beautiful language holds that it comes from nameless, groups of people looking for a more expressive way to say something. I'm always thankful to get a note where someone praises a sentence I wrote. But what I really want is the kind of genius that takes "I'm leaving" and turns it into "I'm ghost" and then takes "I'm ghost" and turns it into "I'm Swayze." Seriously, what kid decided to pull "Ducat" out of obscurity (at least obscurity for us 80s city kids) and use it as easy as bread, or ends, or greenbacks? Who decided that a gun should be called a "heater" and then a "toaster" and then finally a "biscuit"?'
