So I take a day off from the internet...
...and Steve Jobs dies. WTF? I don't need a source, just Google it. His death wasn't completely out of the blue due to his health problems, but it is still surprising. I guess there won't be a HUMANCENiPAD now?

A thought
If the Phillies played more than one inning a game this series maybe they would have won by now? Just a thought!

4 Loko forced to alter product...
...again. First Phusion Beverages, makers of 4 Loko, were forced to reformulate their drink and remove the caffeine. Now, because apparently people can't do simple math, they are forced to display how much alcohol the drink contains. At first they claimed 4 Loko contained the same amount of alcohol as 2 standard 12oz beers, but even a remedial math student could dispute this. Let's try it out:
A standard beer is around 4% alcohol and is 12 ounces.
A 4 Loko contains 12 % alcohol and is 23.5 ounces.
Multiply the volume of beer by 2 to get roughly 23.5 ounces.
Multiply the % alcohol of beer by 3 to get 12%.
Using rules of multiplication, we can say 1 beer must be multiplied by 6 (2 times 3) to equal 1 4 Loko.
A 4 Loko is equivalent to 6 beers.
There, simple wasn't it? Apparently not, as Phusion Beverages is now claiming 4 Loko is the same as 4 regular 5% alcohol beers. At 5% alcohol, it would take 5 beers to equal a 4 Loko. Close enough I guess.
Despite this awful math, and being forced to repackage, Phusion is also adding a resealable cap to their cans (which is awesome). That more than anything will probably prevent people from ODing on 4 Lokos, since everyone usually just finished the entire thing in one sitting instead of wasting it.

Henry's Kitchen: BBQ Beer Fish
After a long delay, the much anticipated sixth installment in the Henry's Kitchen series is now available. This time, Henry shows us how to make his "lip-smacking" BBQ beer fish... though I'm not sure if that's how I'd do it exactly. See if you agree:

American Horror Story
I'm kind of intrigued by this show. Sometimes it looks stupid/cheesy, and other times it looks like it could be really good. It looks creepy all the time, at least. It premieres on FX next Wednesday (the 5th) which means I'll wait til a replay to watch it (South Park owns that timeslot). Before that, however, you can watch the first 5 minutes below:
