I have just received word that Karen Jackson has given birth to a son. From Dad (aka Ryan) -

At 5 pm on Aug 4, William (Will) Earl Jackson II (named after my grandpa) was born. . . He weighed in at 8lbs 10 oz and is 20.5 in long. Mother and baby are both doing fine.

No red hair yet, so that is good.

If for some reason you decided Will Ferrell driving Nascar wasn't worth your cinematic ten bucks -- maybe a brain tumor or low bloodsugar or somebody you know was having a baby-- here are the trailers for Tenacious D and the pick of Destiny and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, both of which debuted in front of it, and were rather hilarious.

In other movie news, Danny tried to resubmit the beerfest trailer, so I guess you could go watch that again.

From Miolla: Prommel and I were talking about this on Sunday while at Hooters while Dave Atell sat 10 tables away from us. The evidence is too overwhelming. Could be a sad day for all of us.

Clarett arrested... again. He was found with 4 loaded guns after leading the police on a chase after an illegal U-turn. I think it's great that he's still hanging out in Columbus. Reliving glory days, eh Maurice? - TEDecker

Part of me wanted to mark it unsafe for work, but here's nothing unsafe for work about it. Just treat it like you would any other article about a woman with two vaginas

A frient of mine sent me a link to this Wikipedia entry. Apparently a game was released for the Atari 2600 that involved ejaculation. Please note: A gender-reversed version of the game was later released as Philly Flasher, in which the player is tasked with controlling two men as they attempt to catch drops of breast milk lactated by a woman. - JTemp

I can't really do any better than the write-up itself (JTemp):

Scott Gibson, 44, was returning from the grocery store with a gallon of milk when, as he told cops, he was surrounded by "5 fat black girls" in the parking lot of a Kentucky Fried Chicken.... He realized it was no joke when the "rotund robbers" began "pelting him with a flurry of chubby fists."

All Miolla: You know how I know you're gay? You just watched this clip from America's Got Talent.

And proved it by allegedly sexually harrassing a team executive. You're the man, Isiah. If only sexually harrassing women was an indication of a good GM. -TEHouston

Rollins sends in this friendly reminder to mark you calendars. Rational people predict nuclear war on August 22. Yeah, that's 11 days from now.

This was a freelance journalist kidnapped in Iraq. I realize it's from the Christian Science Monitor, but it was linked to from cnn.com.

From Everyone (but using Ryan's text) - As of 4pm, if you click on msn.com, cmu is on the homepage. The article is about the New Ivy League Schools that have come about due to a surge in the number of total college applicants. We all wonder if it lists THE Brian Hendrix, from bhendrix.com, as an alumni.

Ryan and I both add - Who frickin' cares? (JTemp)

Residents in Maine found the carcuss of an unknown animal.

"It was evil, evil looking. And it had a horrible stench I will never forget," she told the Sun Journal of Lewiston. "We locked eyes for a few seconds and then it took off. I've lived in Maine my whole life and I've never seen anything like it."

The animal is suspected of killing a rottwiler and doberman pinscher

Phillies Aaron Rowand breaks ankle in collision with Chase Utley.

This is the dude who went crashing into the outfield fence to make a catch and broke his nose doing so. Then, in true blue-collar hero style, he said that without question he would risk injury in the future to make a play if it helped out his team. Oooh, that instant karma done got you, son.

Something Jaiman submitted four times... these are not pictures from our party.

Website predicts future air fares.

The article links to it, but the actual website they are talking about is www.Farecast.com. How it works:

"The site predicts future fares through a complicated algorithm that meshes data on historical fare patterns with recent development and planned future events. Depending on factors such as volatility, seasonality and supply and demand in each market, Farecast also reports how confident it is in each prediction."

My take: The next time Oof and I fly to the World Cup, we can use this instead of checking expedia daily over a span of three months.

Note: I checked this article as 'Tech' because I had never designated a submitted story as 'Tech,' and frankly, I just wanted to see what it was like.

Thanks, Richard! - TEB

Plan B can now be sold OTC. There are a couple of stipulations for you details-type people. Whoever is purchasing has to be over 18 and must do so at a pharmacy. There will be no beer and Plan B runs, at least not at the same store. However, it doesn't say whether that person has to be a female, which could be good news for L Rod.

-TEB, who was going to hell way before the L Rod comment.

Rollins reminds us that it's that time of year again. Beloit's College Mindset List has arrived. Prepare to feel the years.

While he probably won't be a driver, Laura McClure Houghton and her husband Andrew passed this along:

Well, the day finally came. We'd like to announce the birth of Calder James Houghton on Friday, August 18th, at 8:04 AM. He weighed 8 lbs, 9 oz., and was nearly 22" long.

For interested parties, Calder has a blog where both his parents are posting.

Why horseback riding is dangerous, by the Freakanomics guy

“Each year in the United States, an estimated 30 million persons ride horses. The rate of serious injury per number of riding hours is estimated to be higher for horseback riders than for motorcyclists and automobile racers.” -ed (I'm back in the country)

From miolla.

Pittsburgh DJ, Girl Talk, is making his mark on the indie music scene. The easiest way to describe this guy's body of work is calling his songs mashups of extraordinary size. It's almost fun to just play Name That Sample while listening. Here's a video for his song "Friday Night."

-I'm a fan of the late 80's/early 90's inspired color scheme. It screams linear video editing machine. - TEB

Will and Charlie threw a nice little bash a few weeks back. Jaiman was kind enough to take some pictures and Bhendrix was kind enough to post them here.
