POPSRemember Cassette Tapes? These Are Amazing! Ghost in the Machine: "In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher's (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging." : )

POPSWhat Britney Spears Can Reveal About Alzheimer's
More: When volunteers saw names such as Britney Spears, George Clooney, and Marilyn Monroe, those who were at the highest risk of developing Alzheimer's - those with both the genetic makeup and a family history - showed high levels of activity in the hippocampus, posterior cingulate and regions of the frontal cortex, all areas involved in memory. The control group showed the opposite pattern. Their brains became more excited when they saw unfamiliar names, which included Irma Jacoby, Joyce O'Neil and Virginia Warfield. That could mean that the at-risk people were working harder to recognize the well-known celebrities, compensating for already damaged or destroyed neurons that were no longer functioning, while the control group had to struggle only when trying to place the names of noncelebrities, recruiting more nerve cells and connections, racking their memory banks and recall centers. Other signs of Alzheimer's were not present yet allowing for earlier detection.

POPS"Computed: The world's most beautiful woman" more: Kleb's team spent six months deciding on the most perfect female ears, before finally choosing those of Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie as the best in the world. The lovely Lindsay Lohan was selected as having the most perfect nose, while Bernice's golden-blonde hair came from Jennifer Aniston. The hypothetical super-beauty's cheeks are based on those of Halle Berry. "Halle's surname is Berry, but her cheeks are like two lovely ripe apples," quipped Kleb. And for a mouth? "There we went old school," said Kleb. "Our analysis showed that the most perfect mouth belonged to none other than Marilyn Monroe." The final composite, pictured below, has now been revealed to the public for the first time. The McGill team will continue their work, to give Bernice a body that will match her beautiful face. "I can't say too much," said Kleb, "but I will tell you that the left breast belongs to Scarlett Johansson.

POPSU.S. Aircraft Carrier Named After Michael Jackson
"Mr. Cooper, sir, Jackson was not only a celebrity, he was a political icon as well. He knew alls about voter registration, ballot boxes, absentee voting, and voter fraud. Michael knew that votes was more powerful than lyrics, and that voting was more important than Karaoking." Cooper replied that some years back there was a movement to name a battleship after Marilyn Monroe and the measure was voted down. And just recently there was a request to name a U.S. submarine after Elvis Presley and that idea was shot down as well. "But Anderson, my man, let me splain somethin' to ya. Those two peoples were both white." "And?" "And let me finish my statement white boy. Neither Elvis nor Marilyn could dance like Michael could. Neither one had the amazing foot moves that MJ had, and neither Elvis nor Marilyn had their own amusement park complete with pettin' zoo for the little childrens." "Reverend, with all due respect, I am afraid that I'm gonna have to say that you fella
