The Debunker: Are Bats Blind?

In November, we set our clocks an hour forward and officially say good-bye to an hour of daylight every evening. From now until spring, we're going to be spending most of our non-working hours in the dark: commuting home from the office when it's dark, making dinner when it's dark, meeting friends when it's dark, getting the kids to and from a million stupid activities in the dark. Ken Jennings, of Jeopardy! fame, is going to brighten this gloomy month with the light of knowledge, debunking some long-held myths about other nocturnal urban wanderers: the birds and critters you might see on a streetlit November night.

Music Monday: Songs About Desserts

Happy Music Monday! Everyone loves desserts, right? Even your favorite rock stars love desserts! That’s why it was so easy to assemble today’s tribute to pie. Cut yourself a slice, won’t you?

Led Zeppelin - Custard Pie

 

Like all things Zep, this song is technically either about women, drugs or hobbits. But just this once we’re gonna take it literally. Just for today, we’re pretending this song is about actual pie.

Remember, you can post any dessert-themed song in the comments. But you get bonus points if you can find a pie song Scott overlooked. See you after the jump! There’s pie!

D’Angelo - Devil’s Pie

 

Music Monday: We Honor Jacob Cats

Happy Music Monday! Today we honor the birthday of Jacob Cats, a Dutch poet. You all love Dutch poets, don’t you? Sure you do! And that’s why you’ll be joining Scott in this cat-themed tribute today. Or else.

Squeeze - Cool For Cats

 

Jacob Cats studied law, and was almost married, but caught a form of malaria just before he took his vows. He moved to England to consult the doctors there, but to no avail. He was finally cured by a traveling doctor who may have been a fraud!

Today’s your day to salute the great Jacob Cats. See you after the jump!

The Beatles - Three Cool Cats

 

Music Monday: Butts Butts Butts Butts Butts

Happy Music Monday! It's me, the professed butt-lover and belove'd forum moderator, adq! I'm... I'm so sorry to you all for this week's selections already. I feel like it might be unnecessary to preface this with a warning, but these songs have NSFW lyrics and videos (depending, I guess, on your W).

Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back

Oh my god, Becky, let's get this one out of the way. Sir Mix-A-Lot has provided us the quintessential butt song and karaoke favorite of thousands of aspiring "singers". It's led to the oft repeatable adage- "I enjoy large posteriors and I am incapable of deception" or something like that.

But, no doubt you've heard that one a million times already, that's only the tip of the gluteal iceberg, more after the cut!

Bissell Deep Cleaner Premier RANDOM

Oh, no! That thing we had sold out! So out of our desperate attempt to be rich love for giving you options, we've added a bonus sale for today. Consider it a gift to us from your wallet to all of you who were hoping for something like this. This is your chance to help us look good to our bosses get a little something for yourself, okay? Thank you You're welcome.

Bissell Deep Cleaner Premier - The head of government for the state of Bissel Deep Cleaneria, a small oil platform off the coast of Cuba. He's kind of a jerk. You don't want to hang out with him.
