Evil Biologist
I'll use the blog as our e-mail system since everyone else is T.C. for the SPT blog now that the weather's nice.
Want to watch a movie Sunday night? Maybe a decent one? Maybe cook some food?
Also, I passed out during the first Life of Birds, so let me know if you still want to hold hands and eat some popcorn.

"Music Thing: Scrambled Hackz
Each week Tom Whitwell of Music Thing highlights the best of the new music gear that's coming out, as well as noteworthy vintage equipment:
It's like Karaoke gone wrong. You sing into the mic, but something very different comes out of the speakers. It's a jerky, warped version of MC Hammer trying to sing what you sang. Scrambled Hackz is a cobbled together mixture of ordinary hardware and extraordinary software, running across three programming languages.
Sven König, who designed it, calls it a Realtime-Mind-Music-Video-Re-De-Construction-Machine, and does a great job of explaining the whole system in this video (Also available here on YouTube). First, a source track is chopped into slices, each 1/16th of a beat long. Each slice has it's sound spectrum analysed, and is dropped into a database.
The fun starts when new audio comes into the system through the microphone. It is similarly sliced up, in real time. Each chunk is compared to the database, which starts spitting out chunks of the original source track (and it's accompanying video) to match the audio input.
In fact, singing doesn't work that well - the system certainly can't match words intelligibly. But human beatboxing into the mic sounds incredible, turning your boom-ka into kicks and snare drums from the original track. As an interface for a sampler, the human voice is a lot more intuitive than a keyboard and a bunch of knobs.
Sven has used the system (loaded with a ghastly collection of 80s hits) for live performance, and as a hysterical gallery installation. He's planning to release the software, currently a mess of C , Python and Pure Data, under the GNU GPL once he’s cleaned it up."

A Dozen New Rules for 2006
more e-mail from the grandfather...
1. Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: he's mowing my lawn.
2. Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout? Luckily, it was only a finger! If it was a whole hand, Congress would have voted to keep it alive.
3. Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: Lucky Bastards.
4. Ladies, leave your eyebrows a lone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.
5. There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some Bourbon over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.
6. The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande, half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.
7. Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. Its right above the crack of your ass and it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.
8. Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."
9. If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.
10. No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking up the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the middle class version of looting.
11. No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.
12. When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.
I received this shit in the mail...
And then did this...I think I accidentally caught the Devil, dammit.

The truth about "Texas Cold"
Hi, Mike: Lone Star Beer should always be served very cold. The colder the better, but of course, not frozen. Our beer is shipped and stored not refrigerated. After being refrigerated, it should not be allowed to get warm or hot and then refrigerated again. It should be stored in a dry, not too warm place.
The word Cerveza is Spanish for beer. It was just a fun thing added to our packaging making it pretty unique.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty to our fine product, Lone Star, The National Beer of Texas.
LONG LIVE LONGNECKS!

Science Monday (or O, those freaky deaky Dutch)
Here's a little article I came across that I thought was of general interest to the greater public...it's by Schultz, W.W. et al. (a group from the Netherlands), published in 2005 in the British Medical Journal.
Abstract
Objective: To find out whether taking images of the male and female genitals during coitus is feasible and to find out whether former and current ideas about the anatomy during sexual intercourse and during female sexual arousal are based on assumptions or on facts.
Design: Observational study.
Setting: University hospital in the Netherlands.
Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging was used to study the female sexual response and the male and female genitals during coitus. Thirteen experiments were performed with eight couples and three single women.
Results: The images obtained showed that during intercourse in the "missionary position" the penis has the shape of a boomerang and 1/3 of its length consists of the root of the penis. During female sexual arousal without intercourse the uterus was raised and the anterior vaginal wall lengthened. The size of the uterus did not increase during sexual arousal.
Conclusion: Taking magnetic resonance images of the male and female genitals during coitus is feasible and contributes to understanding of anatomy.
Here's Figure 2 from the manuscript, and the relevant descriptive text. Wow!
Figure 2:Midsagittal image of the anatomy of sexual intercourse envisaged by R L Dickinson and drawn by R S Kendall.
The first careful study since the sketch by Leonardo da Vinci is of the interaction of male and female human genitals during coitus was published by Dickinson in 1933 (fig 2). A glass test tube as big as a penis in erection inserted into the vagina of female subjects who were sexually aroused by clitoral stimulation (occasionally with a vibrator) guided him in constructing his pictorial supposition.
Here's a picture of the "boomerang" penis shape described in the abstract

more alcohol = lowered productivity (a blog expose)
Contagious yawning, the onset of a yawn triggered by seeing, hearing, reading, or thinking about another person yawn is a well-documented phenomenon. The mechanisms that drive contagious yawning are as yet unknown, but there is recent evidence of a link between contagious yawning and self-processing that is negatively impacted by schizotypal personality traits. The neural substrates involved in contagious yawning, however, are unknown. Here, using fMRI, we show that viewing someone yawn evokes unique neural activity in the posterior cingulate and precuneus. Because of the role these areas play in self-processing, our findings provide further support for the hypothesis that contagious yawning may be part of a neural network involved in empathy.

The Hurricane Has Landed!
After a night of excessive alcohol and poor life decisions Harry's mother found herself face down on the vomit-stenched couch in a parlor room full of clothes.Harry did his best to console her, arm draped across her back just so, but inside he was sad. For weeks Haryy hadn't seen his mother, and this is the quality time she promised to spend with him? Just look at his face, look how disappointed he is.
Before you go feeling too sorry for that little cat, keep in mind he's a bit of a hyporcite himslef. Lately he's taken to food like mommy did the sauce. Nearly doubling his weight, Harry now weighs a portly 10lbs. Just last week a binge on Alley Cat left him puking on Elliott's couch, too bloated to move.
PPDeez nuts!
What's with us owing money for the internet? I thought you went to Pharmaco to pay for the 'nett.
Seriously, ain't this blog making enough bank to pay for the connection yet? Maybe it's time we started selling SPT merch too.

$10 blow-jobs from latino she-males
are you guys getting these right now? or were wednesday night's activities too taxing?
Liver Regeneration.....ummm, is that what you call pissing yourself?
Now, I am not going to say that I am dissapointed or upset at any of your actions. In fact, I am unbelievabley proud of you boys for sticking it out two months. Two glorious months of productivity, early rising, smiles and healthy livers.
Now, I hear some nasty rumors; rumors of puking, blacking out and pissing oneself. Surely when you first decided to tackle this proverbial monkey on your backs, it was to clean up your act, not fucking binge on booze a few weeks later. Look in the mirror at yourselves.
Chill out boys, save some partying for Saturday when I get home. Hey eyes, thanks for puking on my bed shitbag. And Sammy, just because you're a cripple now, doesn't mean you can get away with that shit.
And Miguel, just, turn it down a little...for god sakes, just a little.
