Venus
It’s a GogBlog first, ladies and germs: three posts in one day. Sugoi! Anyway, today was the day of the Venus transit, an event that hasn’t happened since 1882. Lots of cool pics out on the web now. Even though I wasn’t able to see it where I live, I did celebrate by playing Bananarama over and over again, much to the dismay of my co-workers.

October Surprise
BoingBoing points out that October Surprise! is running a tongue-in-cheek poll on how Bush is going to pull off a re-election. It’s as funny as it is sad:
- Osama bin Laden captured!
- Spectacular terrorist attack on US soil!
- Vote is threatened by terrorist attacks, vote suspended due to red alert.
- Diebold Election Systems fixes the vote in battleground states.
- Escalation in Israel, Iran, or North Korea. US opens a new war front.
- US pulls out of Iraq in October, leaving the UN in charge.
- WMD’s found in Iraq!
For those who are interested in what the original October Surprise was, Google has your answer.

It’s pop, dammit.
An interesting map showing the distribution of pop, soda and Coke as terms to describe your favorite carbonated soft drink.
