The British Home Office is looking for proposals to make it harder to attack people with pint-glasses, including a mandate that all pint sleeves be made from plastic, or coated with shatter-resistant plastic. Because, you know, most bar-brawlers are fundamentally upset at the pint, not the people around them, and if they can't smash a pint sleeve, they will contain their anger and not use a chair, bottle, or imposing scarred forehead.
Ban the pint!

Found this over at textually.org for the new Penn & Teller magic trick app:
"Basically, you have your friend pick a card from a deck, then you give them your iPhone with the app turned on. The app looks like your standard SMS text message interface, where they're putatively going texting back-and-forth with Penn & Teller to guess the card that they picked. There's a lot of sarcastic, funny patter, as the app asks questions about your card, then finally guesses what it is. You win!"
