If you missed last nights episode of Rove, he had Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly on the show. Those two guys crack me up, and I’m super keen to get to the cinema to see Step Brothers.
When I saw the ‘pole’ I got ready to count the ‘pole’ jokes.
Part 1 of the Rove interview [...]

Following my previous flatulence flirtation, I decided it was time for some research. Three cheers for the internet!
Obviously combining science and flatulence was the holy grail for Dr. Michael Levitt, the American gastroenterologist who conducted ground breaking research in the odour of flatulence.
Dr. Levitt is a pioneer, and his studies on the potency of farts [...]

Call me an early adopter if you like, but I just had a hunch that there was a market for belly button lint out there.
My suspicions were confirmed this evening when I paid a visit to my Squidoo Lens and saw this eBay auction appear on my lens.
