More signs of the end times...

Pop star Lance Bass of NSYNC will serve as World Space Week 2003 Youth Spokesperson to promote science and math education. Um... what's the connection, again? Other than he has $25M available to buy a Soyuz ticket?

True... it is possible that the Venn diagram of "smart kids" and "likes contrived boy-bands" may not be a null set. It may be a large set -- what do I know? It's all marketing, I guess :-|

What's a Winger?

[geekchick]

As a datapoint, I consider myself to have been a "smart kid", and I adored the Monkees. I have a few Backstreet Boys mp3s around her somewhere. I think Du Jour from "Josie and the Pussycats" is the funniest thing ever. (You should rent and watch the movie. Really.) It's not "a" Winger; Winger was a hair band from the late 80s/early 90s whose main attraction was that Kip Winger was really, really pretty.
