Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii
A New Zealand judge has removed custody of a nine year old girl from her parents so that her name — Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii — can be changed. A few others that got flagged:
Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter “and tragically, Violence,” he said.

Human Speech Traced to Talking Fish
During midsipman mating season, houseboat owners in San Francisco Bay have complained that their homes vibrate from the humming, which sound like a high-speed motor running underwater.
Hear all about it here. Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that fish fucking and human speech have a common origin. “I couldn’t see in that cave so who needs eyes? I’m over here, baby.” Sounds like a damn Italo Calvino story.

Mamihlapinatapai
A single word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego
It describes a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start. Ending up mutually at a loss as to what to do about each other.

Does anyone remember promise rings? Well they’ve made a comeback, mostly with the teen generation. They symbolize commitment, especially for couples too young to get married. They can also symbolize an unbreakable friendship bond. A gift of these and a bunch of fresh blooms will go a long way in any relationship, even friendship.
Thsrs
A thesaurus for short synonyms. Ironic Sans:
Popular new social networking services like Twitter, where users write extremely short messages about whatever’s on their minds, present a challenge: How can you intelligently get across a complex thought in just 140 characters without needing to use ugly abbreviations (e.g. “w/o needing 2 use ugly abbrev’s”)?
If only there were a service that helps with the struggle of rewriting a 146-letter message to fit in a 140 character limit. Well now there is: Thsrs, the thesaurus that only gives you synonyms shorter than the word you’re looking up. Just enter one of the longer words in your message, and Thsrs will suggest shorter words to use instead.

Free Speech Online
A quick overview of the differences between free speech on and off the web.
Dutch photographer Maarten Dors met the limits of free speech at Yahoo Inc.’s photo-sharing service, Flickr, when he posted an image of an early-adolescent boy with disheveled hair and a ragged T-shirt, staring blankly with a lit cigarette in his mouth.
Without prior notice, Yahoo deleted the photo on grounds it violated an unwritten ban on depicting children smoking. Dors eventually convinced a Yahoo manager that — far from promoting smoking — the photo had value as a statement on poverty and street life in Romania. Yet another employee deleted it again a few months later.
“I never thought of it as a photo of a smoking kid,” Dors said. “It was just of a kid in Romania and how his life is. You can never make a serious documentary if you always have to think about what Flickr will delete.”
The chembots are coming
Chembots are tiny robots made of chemicals that expand on command.
The chembots could get into a building through a crack, for example. They could explore a cave or crevice and dismantle an explosive. Or they might climb ropes, wires or trees. Another tiny idea: One chembot could pack a smaller chembot into a situation, then release it for even more minute explorations.
Mostly, I like typing chembots.

There, it’s meaningless.

the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance
Fuck you, I’m guessing:
A British high school student received credit for writing nothing but a two-word obscenity on an exam paper because the phrase expressed meaning and was spelled correctly.
The logic:
“It would be wicked to give it zero because it does show some very basic skills we are looking for, like conveying some meaning and some spelling,” Buckroyd was quoted as saying.
“It’s better than someone that doesn’t write anything at all.”
Buckroyd said the student would have received a higher mark if the phrase had been punctuated.
