My fellow sides of beef:

  • Bitter Old Punk - Slinging the liquor to all who will tip, and even some who won't, because corporate policy demands it.
  • Boobs, Injuries, and Dr. Pepper - Southern Haha. Oh, like it matters. Look -- boobs!
  • Cadet Spiff's Deep Space Log - Richard, you ignorant slut. You know how I know you're a nerd?...
  • Clublife - I sometimes work as a bouncer. I'll bet this guy could kick my ass, too.

  • Monalicious - Boston will never seem cold to me as long as this woman's there.
  • Pretty Helmet - Elizabeth in the Ham
  • Something Positive - One of the best cartoons ever. Funny, mean, and touching, usually within a single word.

  • The Sneeze - Home of 'Steve, Don't Eat It!' Enough said.
  • Wade on Birmingham - Someday, Wade will be under Birmingham. Or over it.
  • Wade un Birmingham - Non-Birmingham, presumably non-American Idol, non-boring, non-badly written
  • Waiting with Bated Breath - Not just for kids, Trix tastes great and is less filling.
  • Warren Ellis - Writer of stuff. Crotchety. Smokes a lot, so we like him.

TODAY'S DEEP THOUGHT:

At first I thought, if I were Superman, a perfect secret identity would be 'Clark Kent, dentist,' because you could save money on tooth x-rays. but then I thought, if a patient said, 'How's my back tooth?' and you just looked at it with your x-ray vision and said, 'Oh it's okay,' then the patient would probably say, 'Aren't you going to take an x-ray, stupid?' And you'd say, 'aw, get outta here,' and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill.

I want to be her…

LONDON, England (Reuters) — Music can be a mouth-watering experience for one Swiss musician who ‘tastes’ combinations of notes as distinct flavors, according to a report in the science journal Nature.

The 27-year-old woman known as E.S. is a synaesthete, someone who experiences sensation in more than one sense from the same stimulation, researchers said on Wednesday.

When E.S. hears tone intervals, the difference in pitch between two tones, she not only can see the musical notes as different colors but can taste the sounds.

‘This is a special case of a musician who, when she hears tone intervals, she has a perception of a taste of a tone,’ said psychologist Michaela Esslen, of the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

‘She doesn’t imagine the taste, she really tastes it.’

The case of E.S. reported in Nature is exceptional because seeing letters or digits in a certain color is more common in synaesthesia. It may also involve seeing a musical tone as a color.

But E.S. sees the colors and depending on the tone intervals a symphony could be bittersweet, salty, sour or creamy.

‘Whenever she hears a specific musical interval, she automatically experiences a taste on her tongue that is consistently linked to that particular interval,’ the scientists said in the journal.

They tested E.S.’s ability by applying solutions tasting sour, bitter, salty or sweet to her tongue and asking her to identify the tone intervals, a difficult task that requires musical training.

When the applied tastes corresponded with the intervals she was able to identify them quicker than other musicians.

“We found that E.S.’s tone-interval identification was perfect,” the researchers said.
