Evidence Dolls
Evidence Dolls are:
hypothetical products sold in a fictional shopping mall called Bioland. The Dolls were commissioned by the Pompidou Centre for the D-Day exhibition in 2005. The project consists of one hundred specially designed dolls used to provoke discussion amongst a group of young single women about the impact of genetic technology on their lifestyle.Read more here and here.
The Dolls come in three versions based on penis size (small, medium and large). A black indelible marker allows women to note down interesting characteristics of their lover. Hair, toenail clippings, saliva, and sperm can be collected and stored in the penis drawer.

"The Gift of Stones" dramatizes the transition from Stone Age to Bronze Age
Here's the start of Emily Barton's review of Jim Crace's new book "The Pesthouse":
I'm intrigued.
Gift Of Stones
JIM CRACE is among the most inventive writers working in English today, a talent that was recognized when he won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2000 for "Being Dead." "Quarantine," about Jesus' sojourn in the desert, and "Continent," a series of linked stories concerning a fictional continent, are among my favorite books by living authors, chiefly because of the breadth of Crace's creative intelligence. Although his writing can be uneven at times — "Arcadia" and "Genesis" leave me cold — a mind that could conceive of "The Gift of Stones," which dramatizes the transition from Stone Age to Bronze Age, is a unique and brilliant one.
I'm intrigued.

Obituary of the Day: Yeltsin was like "a retarded nephew...
"Boris Yeltsin was always good for a laugh, which is probably why on the occasion of his death people outside of Russia are not calling him words like scum and monster, but instead recalling him fondly, with a smile, as one would a retarded nephew who could always be counted on to pull his pants down at Thanksgiving dinner."
