Irrefutable evidence of the existence of extraterrestrials given by this mysterious expert who refuses to answer any questions whatsoever and demands payment before the interview is even over. The truth is out there.

Oops of the Night
‘Dentist’ = Gay?
Apparently I’m the last person in the world to find out that Hermey the elf is gay.
Candied Bacon Martini
This post is bittersweet. Sweet because it contains bacon but bitter because I’m openly being mocked by astrophysicists on their Discover magazine blog.
Inside the Curious World of Nude Modeling for Artists
From the Chicago Tribune:
For most of us, being unable to get naked in public is hardly a nightmare. But Troxell is an art model. And posing in the nude, something he has done for 30 years, is key to bringing home a paycheck.
With its plethora of art schools, college art classes, art leagues and private artists, Chicago and the suburbs are home to an estimated 50 to 150 working art models at any given time, according to those in the business. It’s a group that comes in all shapes, ages, sizes and backgrounds.
“We couldn’t teach classes without professional models,” said Duncan Webb, the academic dean at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and an artist himself. “They are essential,” said Nancy Rosen, a local artist who works in mixed media. “The model brings everything to the room.”
Models are often students or members of the art or theater communities. Troxell says one model at Chicago’s American Academy of Art was an electrical engineer in Russia, and another has a doctorate in chemistry and formerly taught at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.

What’s your favorite dessert?
I’m a sucker for chocolate pecan pie without the pecans. But warm chocolate chip cookies with a tall glass of ice cold milk is my path to diabeetus.
