POPSScience confirms it: driving a Porsche really does make you more of a man A creative and elegant study has found that for men, driving a Porsche (and presumably other high-end, powerful vehicles) increases your testosterone levels, even -- and here's the kicker -- if no one ever sees you drive it. That means it's hard-wired, not just a "social construct." (That's what this author says, anyhow, though it's not obvious to me that that's the only explanation.) The post then goes on to say, interestingly, that this is going to be a big problem for auto designers of the future who want to be environmentally responsible, because, presumably, environmentally responsible cars aren't sexy. They'll have to "figure out how to make hybrid and electric cars cool." As in, like, raise-your-testosterone-level cool. My question is, why? Is the post implying that if electric cars don't get sexier, then we'll just continue to destroy the environment? Are those really the only two options?

Gamble noted Pendergrass' charitable work for people with spinal cord injuries, his performances despite pain and his focus on the positive in the face of great challenges. He never showed me that he was angry at all about his accident," Gamble said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "In fact, he was very courageous.

POPSDigging Out The storm prompted our Governor to declare a state of emergency in West Virginia on Saturday. I was on the road with a crew from 9 to 5 in charge of snow removal and one of my clients actually measured the snow for me--20 inches worth of it. The interchanges were horrible at one point with abandoned cars and trucks everywhere.

POPSI (used) love what you do for me - Toyota! Zoooom! If you see a Toyota coming at you or behind you... look for an exit until they fix the gas pedals in some of their most popular cars. So much for legendary Japanese quality - their recall record now is about the same as everyone's. Grin - wonder what they'd do if 4 million customers showed up Monday and demanded: Fix it now Toyota!

POPSPanasonic PC batteries for hybrid cars Panasonic has been making lithium-ion batteries for laptop PCs for a while now — but it just announced that it has discovered a new technique to bind them together in order to power electric cars. This makes it one of the first major electronics companies to branch into advanced battery making for automobiles, which was dominated by big automakers.

POPSStrategic Resources & Short-term greed! Adam Smith would roll over in his grave! He's known for his work "Wealth of Nations". I wish some of those in love with a fantasy of "de-regulation" and laizez-faire capitalism had actually learned a bit about it. Many years ago Khrushchev said, "the West will sell us the rope to hang them with!"... Many laughed. Of course that was before we embraced ideological idiocy as a national religion. What if hunter-gatherer ran the world? (pssst... They Do!) http://culturalengineer.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-would-hunter-gatherers-run-world.html
