		<title>Lesbian panic shuts down Mississippi high-school prom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mississippi's Itawamba County school district has cancelled a prom after Constance McMillen, an 18-year-old student, asked permission to bring her girlfriend as her date. The student planned to wear a tux. The school district's bureaucratic non-excuse for the cancellation is that it's "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events." The district appears to be tap-dancing around the reason for the cancellation in an effort to avoid openly saying "We are scared of teh ghey," since ...]]></description>

		<title>Exhausting the entire problem space of animated teddy-bears, cars, people and pigeons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Animator/composer Cyriak just posted this surreal video featuring infinite giant teddy bears climbing out of the sea at the Worthing shore and crossing the road. You'd think that this would be thin gruel for three minutes' worth of animation, but you'd be wrong: it turns out that the number of variations on the themes of pigeons, people, teddies, cars and shore is a lot greater (and weirder and funnier) than instinct would suggest. Cycles (Thanks, Arthur!) Previously:Fiorina's latest political video ...]]></description>

		<title>Chatroulette Map: Not So Anonymous Anymore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever people mention the random webcam site, Chatroulette, it inevitably leads to talk of how there are certain less-than-desirable webcam chat partners on the service. Some would wager that the guise of anonymity on Chatroulette helps these users feel a bit safer when baring it all. They aren't as anonymous as they think.

		<title>Widespread support for toilets that separate crap from urine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People in seven European countries have expressed willingness to try "NoMix" toilets that keep crap and urine separate, allowing for more efficient waste processing and less seepage of urine-born pharmaceuticals into the water supply. The study was conducted with 2700 people in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, with 80 percent supporting the toilets. Even higher numbers were willing to use urine as fertilizer. The article doesn't discuss infrastructural issues, though: would you need a second black-water ...]]></description>
