POPSOut in Hollywood: Starring Roles are Rare “The industry is persuaded that being known as gay will undermine your credibility both as romantic lead or an action star,” said Larry Gross, director of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California and author of a book on media portrayals of gays and lesbians. “They don’t test it,” he said. “We’re waiting for the Jackie Robinson moment when someone tests that assumption and discovers it’s not true.”

POPS How do you make the object of your affections fall in love with you? A person's smell provides clues about their genetic make-up. We are programmed to sniff out those whose genes are different to our own. This apparently helps ensure any children born will have broad immunity against disease. Those looking to impress should also keep conversation to a minimum and concentrate on their appearance. Research shows that 55 per cent of first impressions are based on how we look rather than what we say. Getting off the sofa and out and about is also important. 'Meeting a lot of people is key,' Mr Robinson said. 'Sitting there moping and eating chocolate is not going to get you anywhere.

POPSGreat Idea - Now Make it Even Better This bike, despite its cost, looks like a pretty great idea. It's much lower scale than getting a moped or scooter, but still provides power to get you around. Now if they really wanted to make this a great bike, they'd set it up so that if you pedal instead of using the motor, your pedaling charges the batery. Maybe that'll come in the next version?

POPSThe SECRET Warehouse from Indiana Jones with contents I use a similar concept in a role playing game. This was a HUGE list and hard to pare down to 1000 characters and have to skip some hilarious items like: Two strange electronic devices, found with a set of identifcation for "Commander Pavel Chekov, Starfleet." A heave metal box, 75cm on a side, painted in military green. Each side has the words, "This side towards enemy" printed on it. (Nuclear claymore mine) The "magic gun" that fired the "magic bullet" that killed JFK A large stone tablet, reconstructed from pieces, with writing on it. It is Hebrew and has Commandments 11 through 17 Microscope slide labelled "Turin Shroud section No. 325", with piece of material reading "Made In Korea" in tiny letters Snake Plisken's death certificate A searchlight with the sillouette of a bat on it and Universal Solvent (we think) (bring your own container) (hurry) (never mind...) A great and funny list

POPSChurches suffering from "spiritual Alzheimers" Is it just the interesting expression that makes me want to blog about this? It's certainly not the first time the phrase "spiritual Alzheimer's" has been used, but it remains a vivid expression nonetheless.
