HUMOR: Chicken Philosophy WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD??? Plato: For the greater good. Aristotle: To fulfill its nature on the other side. Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue?

American Civil Liberties Union | The 8 Most Ridiculously Badass Protesters Ever Photographed Image found by the awesome Strigoi Another protester in the anti-Mubarak riots, Flaming Scarf Guy looks like he walked straight out of an anime (that he just firebombed). The context is unclear even in the original Al Jazeera photo, so we can't say if he caused that explosion, or if he just sort of appears out of the ether whenever there is an explosion. Plenty of people see this picture and make jokes about that old action hero cliche: Cool guys don't look at explosions, they just turn and walk away. You can fight the riot cops. This is yet a third Egyptian protester, and this image completes the most epic trilogy since Lord of the Rings. This dairy farmer was protesting the EU headquarters in Brussels over rapidly falling milk prices. You knew he was coming. You knew because he's an internet staple by now.
Book-A-Minute Classics Got another book report to do? English teachers have the inconsiderate habit of assigning mammoth-sized works of literature to read and then actually expecting you to do it. This wouldn't be so bad except that invariably the requisite reading is as boring as fly fishing in an empty lake. Half of those books don't even have discernible plots. "That's nice," you say, "but I don't believe you." Latest additions: 4/6/12 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. And, on Book-A-Minute SF/F...

The Pixel Project 10 Best Photos From This Summer's Most Scantily Clad Movement An unwitting officer in Toronto “helpfully” advised women that, to not be raped, they should “avoid dressing like sluts.” His stupid comment inspired people in Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Sydney, and many more cities to organize SlutWalks, a series of marches based on the idea that sluts don’t cause rape, rapists do. Here are some of the best photos so far: Photo found on Moxiebird.com. April 3, 2011, Toronto, ON. Photo by Michael Courier. Photo by Daniel. Photo by Stephanie Vaughn. Photo by Anton Bielousov.

A no vote in Scotland could leave England begging for mercy | Deborah Orr There's a pattern here, of sorts. Tony Blair became bored and frustrated with domestic policy and – heartened by success in Sierra Leone – decided that it was much more exciting to apply himself to exporting liberal democracy around the world. Hideous, inexorable foreign "adventures" followed, of course. Gordon Brown also struggled with the detail of home affairs, most notably in his desperate, off-the-cuff pledge of "British jobs for British workers". David Cameron, too, seems to find the minutiae of domestic social policy tiresome and intractable. Never mind that the two impulses are at odds with each other – Cameron rejecting, even mocking, the idea of a constellation of nations being stronger in one case, and insisting that a constellation of nations is more resilient in the other. Of course, the perceived simplicity is deceptive. Still, the immediate advantages of goading Scotland are manifest.
