In a major victory for the fast food industry, a federal judge on Wednesday dismissed a widely watched suit in which McDonald's hamburgers and french fries were blamed for children's obesity. U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet said the plaintiffs, including a 14-year-old girl who is 4-foot-10 and 170 pounds, failed to show McDonald's Corp.MCD.N products presented a danger unknown to consumers. He also cited concerns the case could "spawn thousands of similar 'McLawsuits"' against all types of restaurants...

Fossil Hunters Find Remains of What They Say Was Four-Winged Dinosaur |
|
Posted by on Thursday, January 23, 2003

|
|
Paleontologists have discovered the remains of what they believe is a four-winged creature that glided from ancient trees above its dinosaur cousins long before two wings took over to power flight.
The small animal called "Microraptor gui" -- in honor of Chinese paleontologist Gu Zhiwei -- was about 2 1/2 feet long and had feathers covering its legs that were similar to the feathers in its wings. The fossils were dated to 128 million years ago. ...

Before he figured out how to create actual flesh-and-blood creatures, God made some prototypes: mechanical cows and cats and dogs that were quite happy roaming the earth.
By the time the living, breathing models were perfected, God's robots weren't so eager to step aside.
This trippy creation myth plays itself out in Andy Murdock's LOR. A work in progress, LOR is one of 15 animated films currently screening at the Sundance Online Film Festival. ...

Boy Bands Take Techno Hit |

Posted by on Thursday, January 09, 2003

Salon has an interview with Justin Timberlake of boy band *NSYNC, who complains that nobody has written a computer virus to honor his band, or his more recent solo career.
"Girl singers seem to get all of the attention from computer viruses," said Timberlake. "Britney has one, J-Lo has one, and now even Avril Lavigne has one that sends people to her Web site. I don't see any *NSYNC virus out there giving us free publicity."
The Virus Writers' Union released a statement denying their responsibility for this problem. "We aren't obligated to publicize any particular musicians, it's up to the individual virus writers, and right now our members do tend to be teenage boys. Anyway, *NSYNC is one of several bands mentioned in the GVW virus." (Via SlashNot.com)...

Southern Cali college girl, Michele bemoans her "itty-bitty boobies" and asks the world to decide whether she should surgically acquire a set of bodacious ta-tas by donating to her online implant fund. So far the fund has swelled to only $19.36, hardly the push-up Michele was hoping for and pretty far from the $4500 she needs to get [more inside] her Wonderbra. But perhaps Mefites have a silicone dollop of charity left after the holiday season. Then again, maybe this isn't the breast, er umm, best way to spend your charity dollar.

OGLETHORPE, GA-- Alex Dunn, 39, father of 15-year-old Drew, slipped into his son's bedroom for one more look at the liner notes to his Britney Spears album Monday. "Just like to see what my son's into these days," said Dunn, perusing the photo-packed booklet accompanying Spears' Oops!...I Did It Again for the fourth time in as many days. "I bet he'll put this on the moment he gets home from JROTC drill practice in an hour or so." Upon hearing a car pull into the driveway, Dunn, who has previously browsed the liner notes to his son's Mandy Moore and Christina Aguilera CDs, put the Spears disc back exactly where he found it and quickly left the room...

An Aussie Answer to 'The Two Towers' |

A kilometre-high solar tower, to be built in the Australian outback by EnviroMission Ltd, will become the world's tallest structure when completed in 2006. Designed by Jorg Schlaich of Schlaich Bergermann und Partner, the solar tower (or solar chimney) operates like a hydroelectric power plant, but uses hot air instead of water, and it could provide enough electricity for 200,000 homes. Time calls it one of the best inventions of 2002, and I think it's one of the most ingenious ideas I've ever heard. Another solar chimney project was planned in Rajasthan, India, but its current status is unknown.
