Well, to be more accurate, two of the three. House Corrino is gonna be done by the time I land in Maui…
I rarely go for epic sagas when it comes to my favorite books, but having read the first three Dune prequel books (“The Butlerian Jihad“, “The Machine Crusade“, and “The Battle of Corrin“), I have been ravenously consuming the final three prequel books that lead up to the events in the original Dune books written by Frank Herbert. It’s a great read, but not for the faint of heart because each book clocks in between 500 to 700+ pages.

Two things about this video are interesting — one is that Angel Matos (Cuba) decides that his disqualification is unjust (he had a minute to recover from an injury and the ref ended the gold medal match immediately as the minute ran out, even though he was clearly ready to go) and kicks the referee in the head! Not a very defensible approach to conflict resolution, eh?
The second thing that is interesting is that YouTube can’t host videos of this from NBC, but they can host the videos published by overseas media outlets. So, ironically, even though NBC is attempting to embargo all of their “exclusive” footage of the Olympics so that the only way you can see any of the events (after they have already ended) is to watch it on an NBC/Universal channel. How much do you want to bet that by 2012, it’ll be nigh impossible for any national media outlet to have control of its “product” like this? After all, if I can obtain the footage legally from a source outside of the USA, then there is really no advantage to having exclusive rights to the Olympics for NBC… unless, of course, they begin to sue YouTube and other video hosting sites to prevent them from making videos from other parts of the world available here in the land of the free and the home of the Internet.

From Carscoop…
In a nutshell, the participants had to put their lips on the silica gel nipples attached to a Chevrolet Lova (Aveo) without touching it with any other part of their bodies (…). The winner would receive a brand-new Chevy Aveo as a prize. The 120 contestants who took part had to do this for 24-hours taking a mere two 10-minute breaks in the course.

One of the things people (okay, just Yan) tease me about is my “addiction” to chicken nuggets. I’ve even posted my recipe for making a “one minute meal” with them to my blog, and I’ve even made converts out of those brave enough to get past the spicy scent of Slap Ya Mama and Tabasco.
So imagine my joy when I saw this article in the news:
That’s right, Usain Bolt eats chicken nuggets and he’s the fastest man in the world. Not the fattest man in the world. Ahem!
