POPSThe Cheese That Bites Back continued: Those who do not wish to eat live maggots place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.

POPSBoing Boing: How I learned to love my persimmon tree Lots of good discussion in the comments - how to choose a persimmon, how to ripen them, things to do with them, why you do not want to eat underripe persimmons, and much more. Persimmons are a family favorite, and I guess we must just have dumb luck with ripening them - the problems people describe here with being unable to ripen them are all new to me. (For the record, the family persimmon-ripening method: Place persimmon stem-side down on the kitchen counter, not in direct sun. Leave it there. Pick up once or twice a day to check whether it's getting soft yet. *shrug* It's always worked for us - we've never needed any of the tricks people mention in this post's comments.)

POPSSaying "you should know better than to stand up for your rights" is abhorrent From a thread on BoingBoing, discussing 9/21/07, the day on which 19-year-old MIT engineering student Star Simpson walked into Boston's Logan International Airport wearing a home-made light-up sweatshirt, and asked an airport worker for information about a friend's arriving flight. ...in a persisting environment of anxiety over terrorism, a Boston Logan Airport worker mistook Star Simpson's LED-adorned wearable tech garment for a suicide bomb. That airport worker phoned Boston police. A small misunderstanding over a hoodie quickly became a surreal debacle during which police said they came close to killing Ms. Simpson.

POPSGoogle Designer Themes? Though its only themes for iGoogle, this initiative feels a bit like a philosophical shift; we know nothing gets passed Sergei and Larry, so lets see if this materializes elsewhere in Gtown. For what its worth, i think its pretty neat.

POPSFSM In the News Since converting from Christian Deism to Flying Spaghetti Monsterism last year I have found my fellow Pastafarians and I are being discriminated against in some unlikely places. YouTube has banned the user account of an FSM evangelist, and MySpace has even shuttered certain accounts of FSM devotees. Have I managed to convert just in time for a backlash against our faith? Will Pastafarians unite in a Pirate Jihad? These questions and more get answered in the following videos found on BoingBoing.
