  • First off, Happy 2007 and welcome back to the internet. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do, so go ahead and ignore your workload for a couple hours. Unemployed patrons to the site, ignore the previous sentences.
  • A 41 square mile piece of Arctic ice shelf has broken off. The shelf was one of six major shelves remaining in Canada’s Arctic which had been a permanent feature for thousands of years. Can anyone guess why it broke off? Well, since global warming doesn’t exist, my best guess is that the polar bears have finally invented dynamite. God help us.
  • According to the Fatah secretary general in Lebanon, four attacks by Palestinian militants on Israel were blocked by a seemingly unexpected group - Hezbollah. That inconvenient revelation is exploding the heads of many anti-Hezbollah politicians. h/t Truthdig.
  • Honda plans to mass produce hydrogen-powered cars by 2018. The only exhaust will be water and good vibes. An awesome commitment, but perhaps they ought to make them boats instead since the ice caps will be gone then.
  • The Largest Minority has made it into the Carnival of Snark for my Heroin Sheikh post, so be sure to visit them. There are some pretty interesting posts from fellow bloggers there, with a couple almost as radical as me. Yeah, I said radical. Pay it forward.
  • If you’ve ever thought, “Sure I’m being bombarded by thousands of opinions on what Saddam’s execution means, but if there were only a page compiling the quotes of world leaders, my understanding would be complete,” then this page was made for you. h/t Crooks and Liars
  • A manuscript over 350 years old has revealed a lost antibiotic treatment for diarrhea from the extracts of a tree native to Indonesia. I could make a juvenile poop joke about it, but I’m better than that. No, really.
  • Gizmodo gives us the Top 10 Blogger Babes of 2006 and sadly, the link is safe for work. Keep in mind that not all bloggers are stunningly beautiful. I myself am horribly deformed and only forced to blog because I terrify small children and animals. I bet some of the bloggers on the list even shower regularly. Kudos to them.
