30 Very Funny Books--Seriously It's a dreary day, so I thought I'd indulge myself and come up with a list of my favorite comedies. A caveat, however: this is not a fancy English-professor-y list of the finest, most exquisitely crafted, most erudite or intellectually sophisticated works on paper in the language. This is a list of the books that make me laugh until my mascara starts to run. These are books to read over your first cup of coffee or just before you go to sleep . Remember: a day you've laughed is day you haven't wasted--even if you didn't get out of bed. Some days you need a jump-start to get to the funny parts of life. You've probably heard of most of these titles, and maybe you've already read several of them. You ready? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. And of course this is just the beginning.

Just another awesome Friday music-round to get you going (CBS News) So I have been dying to put this one out all week on The Feed, but managed to (barely) abstain from doing so in order to put it in your latest edition of the Friday Music Round-up. Phew, I can finally do it! First up, K-Pop sensation Psy is back with another amazing music video, this time featuring singer Hyuna that will have you mesmerized, confused, laughing and so much more all over again. Check it out. We first featured Korean music sensation Psy here on The Feed two weeks ago, and have seen their meteoric rise to international fame since that time. And they have managed to hit it out of the park again with this latest video that has us continuing to bounce our heads to the beat and occasionally scream out "Gangnam Style" for no apparent reason. Second in our round-up is one that hits close to home for us here at The Feed since it deals with a lot of the names and faces we tend see on the Internet. © 2012 CBS Interactive Inc.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." Copyright: Kevin Harris 1995 (may be freely distributed with this acknowledgement)

How To Speak Italian And Not Sound Like A Tourist In Italy If you’re heading to Italy, don’t be the person who doesn’t know a word of italian! Remember the old saying : when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That means that it’s worth the effort to try and fit in with the Italians and, like anywhere else, rhetoric is the key to getting things done – just as long as you know how to use it. “Allora” All-or-ah Not often used as a conversation starter, ‘allora’ is perfect for keeping interest during debate and discussion. “Boh” Bo Clearly, slang is one of the most important aspects of fitting in. “Andiamo” On-Di-Ah-Mo You’ll be rushing when you get to Italy. “Basta” Bas-Ta You’re tired, it’s been a long day, or your full and the waiters are still bringing out more food. “Quanto Costa” Ku-anto Cost-ah ‘Quanto Costa’ is how you ask for prices in Italy and it is an invaluable tool if you’re, well, purchasing anything. Was this small lesson useful?

John Hopkins Researchers Make Stem Cells From Blood Cells Stem cells are a miraculous cellular material that can be used to repair nerve damage, or even grow brand new organs. Researchers from Johns Hopkins Hospital may have discovered a new way to create stem cells using your very own blood cells. This newly developed method could actually revert adult red blood cells back into stem cells as though they came from a 6-day-old embryo. Technically, scientists have developed reverted blood cells back into stem cells before by using viruses to deliver state-reverting genes. The new process developed by the Johns Hopkins researchers, as published in PLoS One, circumvents the risky need for viruses by using plasmids, rings of DNA that, according to Johns Hopkins, "replicate briefly inside cells and then degrade." Once the plasmids attach themselves to the blood cells they insert four additional genes into the cell. The research sounds promising, to say the least.
