By this math, Pineapple Express is looking strong.
79% turnout is pretty impressive, when matched against our apathy. It's even more impressive when you consider this:
They don't even have opinions, and they still vote more than we do.

Bhutan becomes newest democracy:
The small Himalayan country of Bhutan became the world's newest democracy Monday when voters cast ballots in the nation's first parliamentary elections.

Turnout was more than 79 per cent of the 320,000 registered voters, Wangdi said. The results will not be official until Tuesday morning.

So I've been going a bit TED crazy for the past few days, and thought I'd share some of the more interesting stuff I've watched, in case people are bored and need 15-20 minutes of video to fill their free time.
Michael Pollan: The omnivore's next dilemma -- Turning our darwinian biological viewpoint on its head, and creating interesting sustainable agricultural solutions as a result.
Rives: Is 4 a.m. the new midnight? -- Not because I'm a conspiracy theorist but because he's entertaining and he reminded me that I need to find more Giacometti.
Peter Donnelly: How juries are fooled by statistics -- Fundamental logical errors we make when faced with statistics, not to mention some of the disastrous implications of those errors.
