1.	Berocca: stay sharp?. My wife Kelly just returned from London Fashion Week with several packages of Berocca, an effervescent over-the-counter nutritional supplement sold by Roche "for hectic lifestyles." She says it's all the rage there as a vitamin source, energy enhancer, hangover remedy, and all-purpose pick-me-up. (The Berocca slogan is "Stay sharp!") It's mostly B vitamins and doesn't contain any caffeine, sugar, or ephedra. That's probably why it didn't seem to affect me too much. But it does taste great, kinda like Tang. Link

1.	Mykeru.Com on anti-gay editorial. This is a wonderful evisceration of a hilariously dunderheaded editorial against gay marriage that appeared in The Daily Mountain Eagle Online of Jasper Alabama. The editorial was written by the paper's copy editor, Susan Sanford. Sanford (quoting from the Bible): "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." -- Revelation 20:12 Mykeru: Uh huh. How about this one: "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." -- I Corinthians 14:34-35 (NIV) How many times do you think Susan Sanford has been disgraceful in church? Do you think she ran this by her hubby? Link (Thanks, bywayoftheroad!)
