News You Can Use: So Who's That Hawt Ad Girl?

Thanks to the internet you need never again go through life wondering who that hot girl in the ad you watched repeatedly is. Or where she does her laundry.

Because these days there's a blog for every possible niche, kink, and quirky interest. And no matter how freaky you are, there's still a group of like-minded freaks out on the web who manage to take it all a little too far.

And don't thank me - thank DrewM.

How To Get Along With The Opposite Sex

And here Neo-neocon points to some tongue-in-cheek advice to both men and women.

If you ask a woman a question, don't interrupt her response by saying, as you impatiently tap your fingertips on the nearest table, "Get to the point." The point you don't get is that our intricate narratives - interlaced as they are with our multi-layered interpretations, embroidered with the richness of our subtle observations, and enhanced by our exquisite cascades of details that might well have entirely escaped your notice, and without which your understanding of life would be the poorer - are what an answer is to us. As Walter Cronkite used to say, "And that's the way it is."

I so wish Mrs. Maetenloch could tell me what happened each day with a title - 'Intrigue at Work' -  and a summary - "They announced the new program and Mary is so unhappy she's transferring and Jane may quit" - followed by how it all went down which may then include the details of the dream she had last night and what's on sale at Kohls. But alas I know that can never be.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon - 4,500 Built And Still Going

The first YF-16 flew as part of the Light Weight Fighter competition in 1974. Of course, back then it was a General Dynamics product. It wasn't until 1993 that Lockheed acquired GD's aircraft business, including the F-16. To celebrate the delivery of the 4,500th F-16, Lockheed Martin released this video.

Given the sheer numbers of F-16s produced and their popularity around the world it's very likely there'll be F-16s still flying in 2050.
