Good morning!  This is an amazing story to start your day off with - a woman lost her ear to cancer, so her doctors grew her a new one (using her own tissue)... on her arm!  F*ck yeah, science!  (CBS)

Does sugar really make kids hyper?  I've always been suspicious of that old myth myself.  (Mind the Science Gap)

Great Godtopus!  Turns out the vampire squid may not be as fearsome as its namesake after all.  Dig these gorgeous shots of it in action!  (National Geographic)

I'm feeling the science imagery this morning.  Here's a stunning collection of photos taken of/from space this past month.  (Time)

In honor of Pi Day, here is something mathematically-themed: How To Predict A Celebrity Divorce! (Time)

Also in honor of Pi Day, here is some pie. Yum. (Neatorama)

Tis a sad, sad day for fans of the enormous volumes of Encyclopaedia Brittanica. They have stopped printing. Pour out some alphabet soup in memoriam. (The New York Times)

Of course, you can still access Brittanica online. Sorry about your soup. Now they can update more quickly and stay up to date when we all bring back these obsolete words. (Matador) Thanks, Mel Biv Devoe!

Wednesdays Are For The Dogs. Sorry.

Well, a good day to you all!  I hope you're having a halfway decent week.  Onto the links!

A horribly ugly Pekingnese was named Best In Show at Westminster last night.  Seriously, those dogs are scary.  (ESPN)

Well, okay, dying your old white Macbook is one do-it-yourself project I don't recommend trying, but I'm linking to it anyway, just in case following advice ain't your bag.  (BrainDeadLock Labs)

Hey, maybe it's the background that makes all those formal prom photos look so awkward.  Then again, maybe not.  (imgur)

I abhor camping. Bugs, noises, people farting in the tent, animals threatening to steal your stuff, no thank you. For those of you that do enjoy camping, here is a way to build a simple camping stove with a log, a saw, and some newspaper. (Lifehacker)

I had never seen a James Bond movie until Daniel Craig and his fine ass filled out the role. Of course, I knew about Mr. Bond's amazing, beautiful, extremely fast cars. A United Kingdom exhibit, and this link, allows you to stare at all of Bond's sexy cars. (Wired)

Are you in the market for a new gadget or three? I find that when I research an upcoming gadget purchase there are too many opinions out there and not enough facts. Here is a breakdown of the best gadgets, from cell phones to home theater receivers. With cited sources! (The Wirecutter)

Helpful hint: When job hunting, avoid cover letters with profanity and name-calling. (Gawker)
