Ralph Fiennes Says Twitter is Destroying English...
Yo. Sup? Cool. Anyhoo, a rabbinical Ralph Fiennes told a crowd at the BFI London Film Festival that modern language “is being eroded” due to “a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter.” #whatever #shutupvoldemort More »

These Ads Are Trying To Sell You On The Notion Of...
The South African edition of Marie Claire put together a “body issue,” and asked ad agencies to come up with concepts where the thing being advertised is loving your body. An interesting twist from a ladymag — usually such publications are blamed for fostering low-self esteem in women. More »

High Speed Liquid and Bubble Photographs by Heinz...
It never ceases to amaze me: just when I think I’ve seen every possible permutation of an artform or technique—be it figurative sculpture, stop motion animation, or in this case, high speed photography—somebody comes along and manages to do something radically different. German photographer Heinz Maier says that he began taking photographs less than a year ago in late 2010. He claims...

The Writing Process Is a Numbers Game
You would think that it would be a words game, but it’s not. It’s all about numbers.
We’ve all seen different definitions of the writing process. One thing they all have in common, though, is that they begin with ideas and end with words on paper (or screen).
While the normal stages: prewriting, writing, revising, editing, and publishing are important and should be followed, there is one topic...
5 Rules About Conjunctive Adverbs
Many words and phrases are similar in function to the conjunction and, but they’re not exact replacements; they even belong in a different grammatical class — adverbs. But because of this similarity, they’re called conjunctive adverbs or adverbial conjunctions. When considering using any of the special adverbs discussed below — the simplest and most common among this subclass — with or in place...

Herman Cain Produces Best/Worst Campaign Ad Ever...
Here’s a brand new Herman Cain campaign ad, starring chief of staff Mark Block, that was just posted, unlisted, to his official YouTube channel. As far as we can tell, Block is drunk, and outside an Olive Garden? And the cameraman is some guy with an iPhone, also drunk, whom Block met at the bar? But, really, the horrible panning and cheap...
Dude Proposes On Greatest Delta Flight Ever...
At first we thought this video of Arvin Shandiz proposing to Alexandra Williams, who he met on a Delta Air Lines shuttle, was adorable. However, after hearing the flight attendant’s announcement at the end of the video, we’re just cranky. Why do we always wind up on flights with stinky dudes and unruly children rather than cute couples who...

The Era of Procrastination
Although procrastination is conceived as a problem by the scientific community, there is not much consensus regarding the nature of this issue. Scholars have been arguing for decades whether procrastination is a rather uncontrollable phenomenon that happens merely on a whim or if it can be classified as arousal, avoidant, or decisional, for example. In any event, statistics since the early 1970′s...

The Cure for Math Anxiety Might Be in Your Head
For students who tense up when presented with a math problem, nothing is more annoying than hearing that the problem is “all in your head.” But the latest research in Cerebral Cortex suggests that the most compelling cure to math anxiety might actually be a little bit of psychological preparedness.
