Here’s one of Nikon’s latest ads for their “S60″ camera – clever and sexy … I like it.

Oh, the caption says: “The Nikon S60. Detects up to 12 faces.”

There are others, but they’re not quite as good ;)

Girls in bikinisAnd now for another excuse to have a picture of scantily clad females on the blog!

From Fox News comes the story that a study conducted by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium has shown that men influenced by sexy stimuli such as women in bikinis become more impulsive.

Well, duh!

The details of the study, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, show that men allowed to fondle t-shirts and bikinis (not on females at the time) placed more value on the present and less on the future. Researchers conclude that there is one common appetite system in the brain and when its stimulated, it wants to be rewarded.

Apparently though, this increased impulsiveness is not due to the common idea that men are more sexually distracted, – but it’s due to their arousal causing improved cognition and creativity.

Oh yes.

What exciting lives we lead

lucy-pinder-superman-shirt.jpgMy brother and I have the parents house to ourselves for the next 12 days or so. Neither of us are working right now. We’re pretty much sitting around the whole time, watching TV (again, lots of Scrubs), playing the Playstation 3, eating (LOTS of) toast, doing a bit of drinking and each of us constantly looking for the opportunity to respond to the other with “so’s your face” or some other such “witty” comment.

I managed to cook a full Sunday dinner for two yesterday – boiled ham and cabbage, mashed potatoes, gravy and… er… cocktail sausages. Might not seem like a massive achievement and I know it’s just a matter of lobbing everything in where it goes and timing it right… but hey, this is me here.

By the way, this picture is only here because I found it when I did a Google Images search for “I’m No Superman” while watching Scrubs. Yeah, that’s why.

So’s your face.

[EDIT]: By the way, here’s the clip from Scrubs:
