Look for gorillas to take over the streets of London on September 27th. It’s the fifth annual Great Gorilla Run to benefit Mountain Gorillas in Africa. (via Arbroath)

Facebook Ads Target You Where It Hurts. Contextual ads know where your insecurities are, and someone is always willing to sell you something for it.

Terminator vs. Robocop vs. Predator. A great editing job makes a whole new movie. A very violent movie.

Woolly Mammoths found in Russia have North American genetic markers. The evidence points to migration across the land bridge going both ways, but the question remains: what killed off the Siberian strain of mammoths?

  1. My roommate was great freshman year. She was NEVER there. She went home EVERY weekend (seriously — I think there were maybe 2 weekends in the entire year when she stayed) and plenty of times during the week she went home too (she only lived about 40 minutes away). She transferred the next year.

    My next roomate was my best buddy. We quickly figured out that if we wanted to remain best buddies that we COULDN”T room together. So I switched rooms with another girl who happened to have a single. And I lived happily ever after. (although I miss my former roomie…Bettina if by some chance you’re reading this, I miss ya buddy.)

  2. first off, Facebook loves to tell me to lose weight. if not lose weight it asks me to meet guys since i’m apparently a lonely single girl. it pisses me off as well.

    second, i love my roommate. we got paired randomly last year and can still manage to live together this year. we aren’t best friends but we get along without any problems.

  3. Holy crap, I can totally relate to the Facebook ads story. I’m getting married next month and for the last 18 months, I’ve been getting bombarded with the “Don’t be a FAT BRIDE” ads. No wonder why I feel like shit about myself four weeks away from the big day.
