A Star Is Born:
Sometimes the internet does fantastic things to create interesting combinations and hacks.
A lot of these odd connections come together via social media’s ability to broadcast the exceptional.
However, few companies are willing to risk big losses by backing an outsider.
But just like Mahatma Gandhi or Steve Jobs before them, KFC has the guts to “Think Different” with their newest superstar, and the results are spectacular…

As Stupid As Nascar Cartman:
Every once in awhile, a health news story comes out that is truly inspirational.
Not since Eric Cartman drinking Vagisil in his bid to qualify as a Nascar driver, has something so majestic gone public.
And though in the small “Fail-Army” part of HT there is probably none that will exceed the caution against mixing grenades & sledgehammers.
-Which to be fair, for the rational-minded among you is pretty much the same equation as career blackmail+ impossible sales goals…

The Fountain Of Youth:
Since the time of the alchemists, the ancient Egyptians, and the epic of Gilgamesh, one of our main goals was to transcend the impermanence of existence.
And in that time, people have tried all kinds of nutty concoctions & medieval procedures to try. (leeches do kinda work, btw)
More recently, the advent of stem-cell science has been joined by another major discovery: the “rewritable” part of our DNA script.
Well, a Salk Institute team combined them with a Nobel-Prize-winning discovery to give Father Time a swift kick in the butt. -Or at least one that lasts a few decades…

It IS A New Thing Every Year, Isn’t It?:
As we’ve already seen from our friend/arch-enemy/frenemy, Jim Gaffigan, some people just can’t get on the Kale bandwagon.
On the other hand, many people seem to run their health-programs based only on what’s new for the year.
-As Übertool describes here…

My Favorite Martian:
In addition to being one of the oddest and most sarcastic people on Earth like, you’ve-got-me-so-confused-I-don’t-know-who-I-am-anymore sarcastic,
Parks & Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza has apparently thought a lot about both staying young and how to behave gracefully if/when she ever does get old.
-As Conan O’Brien finds out in this interview…

Are your cheeks & jowls starting to sag? Smile lines starting to show?
Well look no further for your solution!
Because in an awesome throwback from at least the 80’s, we learn at some near Kristen-Wiig-ian-scale silliness…

With the New Year approaching soon and marathons over recently, I agree with BuzzFeed that a few pick-me-ups of sadly-accurate exercise humor is just what the doctor ordered to psych you up for all your Get-in-shape resolutions & new gym memberships!
And your trainer (or WebMD’s Fit-O-Meter) should Absolutely be able to tell you how many calories you’ve burned sliding down that wall crying.
Now check out the other 18!…
You have to admit, this guy must have the metabolism of a hummingbird.
Pretty slim & healthy for someone who eats only cookies. The entire HT readership is green with envy.
Maybe this “Stoner Stanley”-style musing is just the result of a sugar-high…

I love this guy and his site.
He’s like Seth Godin, Malcolm Gladwell & cool, statement-making nerd-glasses all rolled into one big Emersonian thought-monster.
Fantastic critical-thinking you don’t have to be an architect to read, understand, or benefit-from.
