The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety did a very interesting crash test, a 1959 Bel Air vs a 2009 Malibu. It is designed to show how much automobile safety has improved in the last 50 years. The results are very interesting. Car Crash

SirusXM has a short term station called TIGER BLOOD RADIO. It is a limited run 24 hr a day channel devoted to CHARLIE SHEEN and his current meltdown / news…… REALLY!! Not the middle east, not oil exploration, not deficit deduction plans, but CHARLIE SHEEN 24 hrs a day!! This is REALLY STUPID!!!

Very interesting video story up at CBS news with a guy asking random people how far in relatively space (using a basketball as the earth and at tennis ball as the moon) the Moon is from the Earth. The recorded people all fail pretty badly. At the end the host shows the “correct” distance. After that, the host points out that drawings which do not show scale can have a dramatic impact on perceived knowledge. This is very true Full Video / Story here

The correct answer is about 239,000 miles and in relation between the basketball and tennis ball about 40 feet or so.

To all the readers of Being Frank Happy Valentine’s day. Hopefully you are with the one you love today, and if not hopefully you have found the greatness that is you within your singleness.

He has not left you, He has not forsaken you, and He will never forget about you. You are loved.

Regardless of who you are, where you are, what sex you are, how old you are, and any other “you are”, Tenth Ave North has it right -

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

‘Cause this is not about what you’ve done,
But what’s been done for you.
This is not about where you’ve been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

CNN.com has a nice piece up about some new Ansel Adams prints that may (big MAY) have been discovered. It seems that a guy bought some glass negatives at a yard sale, kept them around for a few years (under his pool table), and then realized they may be pretty valuable. A LA art dealers says 200 million, but Ansel Adams grandson doubts the negatives are real. Regardlass the story is a interesting to read, give it a read here.
