Remember the soldiers in Afghanistan version of Telephone I posted yesterday? The Smoking Gun did some digging.

Or not. Depends on whether you trust a guy who was blabbing to the tabloids shortly after Michael Jackson died, and now claims in a TV interview that Michael would "approve" of him "setting the record gay straight."
On a related note, someone once thought Michael would look very gay in the year 2000.

Musical comedian Tim Minchin has recorded a really NSFW song about the pope. It's childish and silly...but damn catchy! All together now: F%@K the motherf%&ker!

Bette recorded with Dylan in the 70's (she did a cover of a Dylan song on her Songs For The New Depression album) and this "fly on the wall" recording from 1975 is fun and fascinating, and a must-listen if you are a fan of either or both. I love the part near the beginning where Bette says she can't sing the line "I ain't no monkey" but Dylan makes her. She also takes a dig at Paul Simon!

Apparently the shutter speed of the camera is accidently synced to the speed of the rotors. And before you jump in, yes, video cameras do have a shutter. And if you want to argue about it, you can join the nerdy discussion going on HERE.

Yeah yeah I know. Mental health is no laughing matter. But sure, if you can't laugh you'd go mad.

Using a system of sliding walls and folding furniture, this Hong Kong apartment can transform into whatever room you need it to be. Twenty four combinations in all apparently.
(I think I posted about this apartment ages ago, but not this video)

The 81 year old holy man claims he has not eaten or drunk anything in 70 years (and also didn't speak for 45 years at one time) and yet he is extremely fit and healthy. He says he gets nourishment from a goddess who pours life-giving elixir through a hole in his palette, which of course sounds completely impossible/implausible/insane, but his claims are being taken very seriously by India's Defense Research Development Organization, who are hoping to learn his secret for military application. He's currently being studied and monitored around the clock by a team of doctors - one of whom thinks he may be getting his nourishment from the sun!
The round the clock study from April 22 to May 7 will cover all aspects of physiology and biochemistry. The saint is kept in isolation at a special ward in the hospital and even mediapersons were kept out of bounds.
Talking to mediapersons at the hospital, Dr Sudhir Shah, a neurologist, and Dr Ila Wazgan of DIPAS said the main aim of the project is to study how a human being can survive without consuming food or water and not passing stool or urine for so long.
Dr Shah, who had conducted a similar study on the saint in 2003, said 'There are incidents of prolonged fastings in our country. But they have been taking some water. In the case of Jani, he is not taking any food or water. What is medically more important and baffling is the fact that he is not passing stool or urine'.
The saint has informed the doctors that he has rare 'Kundalini' power (serpentine energy), a Yogic feat.
Explaining the rationale behind the study, Dr Wazgan said ''If we can find out the reason or unveil the mystery behind Mr Jani's survival without food and water, the study may help in working out strategies in managing calamaty-struck people, soldiers deployed at extremely hostile terrains like high altitude mountains and places with the scarcity of water and food''.
