The age-old argument over the best way to cook the perfect boiled egg could be a thing of the past thanks to a new hi-tech ink logo going on shells.
After cooking begins, an invisible, temperature-sensitive thermochromic print appears in black to indicate when an egg is soft, medium or hard-boiled.
The eggs, developed by UK assurance scheme Lion Quality, will be sold in three different types of cartons.
The new logos will start to appear on eggs in the next few months. (Read more…)

Today I have a new category: Fam-spam. I have back-tagged some other posts for your enjoyment. I am not even kidding about this. Passed on unedited.
Food for thought.
Subject: Worth Remembering
Here is a truth to think about and also to be thankful for.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,Jesus Christ and the American Military.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Given the original Pudenda Shenanigans meme, I find her implicit intimate knowledge of bathhouse culture HIGHLY telling.
According to a transcript posted on Wonkette, yesterday’s edition of “The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch” featured guest Ann Pudenda Shenanigans saying of Bill Clinton’s perceived sexual proclivities, “I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality.” Then when Deutsch pressed Pudenda Shenanigans to elaborate, the two reportedly shared this exchange:
Pudenda Shenanigans: …I think anyone with that level of promiscuity where, you know, you — I mean, he didn’t know Monica’s name until their sixth sexual encounter. There is something that is — that is of the bathhouse about that.
DEUTSCH: But what is the homosexual — that’s — you could say somebody who maybe doesn’t celebrate women the way he should or just is that he’s a hound dog?
Pudenda Shenanigans: No. It’s just random, is this obsession with his…
DEUTSCH: But where’s the — but where’s the homosexual part of that? I’m — once again, I’m speechless here.
Pudenda Shenanigans: It’s reminiscent of a bathhouse. It’s just this obsession with your own — with your own essence.
DEUTSCH: But why is that homosexual? You could say narcissistic.
Pudenda Shenanigans: Right.
DEUTSCH: You could say nymphomaniac.
Pudenda Shenanigans: Well, there is something narcissistic about homosexuality. Right? Because you’re in love with someone who looks like you. I’m not breaking new territory here, why are you looking at me like that?
So wait — narcissism and “obsession with your own essence” are homosexual traits? Well hell, Ann…
…sorry we’ve never invited you to Pride.
Stay tuned for later Pudenda Shenanigans leaps in logic, when we hear she’ll claim Bill named his daughter Chelsea because “the Castro” and “West Hollywood” were both too wordy.

Finally. Now I want wedding pics with Reichen.
Lance Bass, the former ‘N Sync heartthrob, reveals that he is gay, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.
“I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys’ careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything,” says Bass, referring to bandmates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.
“I didn’t know: Could that be the end of ’N Sync? So I had that weight on me of like, ‘Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it’s bad.’ So I just never did,” he says speaking about his sexual orientation for the first time with PEOPLE. (Read more…)

The measure would make taking a pregnant teenager over state lines to obtain an abortion a crime punishable by fines and up to a year in prison. The girl and her parents would be protected from prosecution and an exception would be made in cases where the pregnancy endangered the teen’s life.
…
Democrats proposed several amendments during Tuesday’s debate, including one sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to protect such confidants as grandparents, clergy and others to whom a girl might turn for help. (Read more…)
Dianne Feinstein, as usual, gets it wrong. Clergy members are definitely going to be helpful in arranging an underground railroad for pregnant teens to handle the matter in a private and respectful way. Their famous for it.

I took this video while in Lyon France backstage at the Opera D’Lyon
The good news - bloggers in CT kicked Lieberman’s metaphorical ass in an interview and posted it to youtube.
The bad news: Barbara Boxer was there to endorse him - she was being as slippery as possible but she was still there and it’s sad.
Watch the interview
Update: Here’s the specific thing that they were hounding him on: Legislation that would require CT emergency rooms to provide emergency contraceptives. His answer, according to the NH Register (Link requires registration, check out bugmenot):
Lieberman said he believes hospitals that refuse to give contraceptives to rape victims for “principled reasons” shouldn’t be forced to do so. “In Connecticut, it shouldn’t take more than a short ride to get to another hospital,” he said.
In this video, Barbara contradicts that and claims the interviewer “misinterpreted it”.
Bullshit, Barbara.
