Why is male country music like “hot girls in teeny tiny shorts I will make you my wife, bear my children, front porch, family values, casseroles” and female country music is like “oops I killed my husband”

Some Low Notes

You know Thurl Ravenscroft as the man who voiced Tony the Tiger saying "They're great!" for so many years. You probably also know him for the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" (even though he was discredited on the single). however, you've heard Ravenscroft in many songs and movies. Listen to his lovely bass singing in this compilation. (via Nag on the Lake)

How Feathers Evolved

We now know that many dinosaurs had feathers; the question is, why? They couldn't fly, but for some reason, they developed fluff that eventually became feathers. There must have been some benefits from the plumage that eventually helped birds to fly. One of my favorite science writers, Carl Zimmer, explains how this may have happened. (via Geeks Are Sexy)

Colonial Salem

Some people don't take criticism well. During most of history, it was a pretty simple matter to silence a woman or get revenge against her. It wouldn't surprise me a bit that this is exactly what happened in a few cases. This comic is from John Atkinson at Wrong Hands.

Carroll Prat and his Laff Box

Charles Douglass was the man who developed laugh tracks for TV sitcoms. He built the Laff Box, a gadget he used to mix the appropriate audience reactions to "sweeten" the story. Audio engineer Carroll Pratt trained under Douglass, and later computerized the Laff Box, added stereo capability, and formed his own company. Watch Pratt editing a sitcom to enhance the laughter in this video. (via Boing Boing)
