HEAT-MA-GEDDON 2012 - Sweating it out without power at 107 degrees in DC...

No power since Saturday, people fighting over ice and gasoline, downed trees and powerlines right in front of our house, the LoveBus struck by a huge fallen limb, and sweltering heat in the triple digits, combined with power outages to last for another week: this is how the motto "Terror,Spass, und Buergerkrieg" gets a whole new meaning. Good thing daddy's got a brand-new gas-powered chain saw - so bring it on, Motherfuckers...

BTW, the suckiest part is being totally OFFLINE: no telephone, wireless coverage in and out, no WiFi available, no email or FB updates possible. Running the car to charge the iPhone while temporarily enjoying a blast of a/c: the little guilty pleasures.

If anybody wants to get in touch w/us: Texting to cell works most of the time, calling the mobile numbers sometimes. Otherwise watch out for smoke signals from burnining cars if it really takes the electric company a week to restore service...

It's Evolution, Baby...5 Signs Humans Are Still Evolving

We Have Blue Eyes

Originally, we all had brown eyes. But about 10,000 years ago, someone who lived near the Black Sea developed a genetic mutation that turned brown eyes blue. While the reason blue eyes have persisted remains a bit of a mystery, one theory is that they act as a sort of paternity test. “There is strong evolutionary pressure for a man not to invest his paternal resources in another man’s child,” says the lead author of a study on the development of our baby blues. Because it is virtually impossible for two blue-eyed mates to create a brown-eyed baby, our blue-eyed male ancestors may have sought out blue-eyed mates as a way of ensuring fidelity. This would partially explain why, in a recent study, blue-eyed men rated blue-eyed women as more attractive compared to brown-eyed women, whereas females and brown-eyed men expressed no preference.
