Someone's gotta keep abreast of fashion: "It was a Monday afternoon when I finally caught up with Inspector 19, the worker whose inspection tag floated out of Janet Jackson's bustier at the Super Bowl Peep Show.

'You're looking mighty haggard, Inspector.'

'I've been on the run from the media, and now you found me.'

'You knew we'd find you eventually. Someone has to take responsibility, and we know Janet and Justin aren't to blame -- and it wasn't the fault of CBS, MTV or the NFL.

'Inspector, for days Justin Timberlake claimed the flashing incident was the result of wardrobe malfunction. Could you explain that term?'

'Sure,' the inspector says, rubbing his temples. 'Wardrobe malfunction is a death knell in my business, but the fact is, it happens. Despite the best materials and extensive testing, something goes wrong in a garment.'

'What do you think the problem was with Ms. Jackson's bustier?'

'Initially, I thought it was a testing problem, but I retrieved the records and am prepared to stand by my work. I'm not some novice. You don't get to be No. 19 without paying your dues. Before working for the stars, I was No. 289 over in men's briefs. You should see what we do to those waistbands. Anyway, the bustier had gone to the kennels a week before the show.'

'The kennels, Inspector?'

'Yeah, if the dogs can't rip a garment apart -- and they're large dogs, shepherds, Dobermans, rottweilers -- we figure it will hold for the female pop entertainers."

NEWS : "The 40-year-old Mr. Everett was raised in McLean, Va., with his sister Elizabeth, mother Nancy and father Hugh Everett III, a quantum physicist who in 1957 proposed a formal theory of parallel universes known as 'The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.' 'Everett's work has boggled minds inside and outside physics for more than four decades,' reported Scientific American in last month's issue. Mr. Everett said his brilliant father wasn't communicative at home. When I asked him what the conversation was like around the breakfast table, he replied, 'There wasn't any.' 'Physicists and geniuses don't always make great family men. I lived with him for 18 years and I learned more about him from the Internet.' Mr. Everett's family was a heartrending source of inspiration for his most notable work, the 1998 album 'Electro-Shock Blues' (DreamWorks), written after his sister committed suicide and h...

Digital Cam media safe to fly with

Technocrat.net : "Recent tests found no evidence of X-ray scanner damage to digital camera media cards or to the images they hold. The tests of scanner models currently in use in the U.S. transportation industry were jointly conducted by the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A), the leading global association for the imaging industry; SanDisk Corporation, a manufacturer of digital media cards; and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). These findings mean that digital cameras and their image storage media can travel safely in either checked or carry-on bags, which will be reassuring to holiday travelers. And though they were not explicitly tested, it is likely that images on camera-phones will be safe in either situation as well. More care is needed for cameras with film, however, as the X-ray scanners for both checked and carry-on luggage can fog both developed and undeveloped film."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
