50 Things We Know Now That We Didn’t Know In 2005
I found this article via Digg as you can see by the links below. Good stuff here and a very interesting read to say the least. It’s amazing that even today we’re still discovering new things about ourselves and the planet we live on! Hopefully someone will compile a “Things we didn’t know in 2006″ version next year.

10 myths (and truths) about Atheism
Atheists are often imagined to be intolerant, immoral, depressed, blind to the beauty of nature and dogmatically closed to evidence of the supernatural. This is an attempt to deflate those myths.

As an Atheist myself, I think this is a great read and I’ll definitely keep this bookmarked so I can forward to people who question my choice in “religion”. I highly doubt this will change the mind of most religious types (or even the general public) but it is nice to see someone actually take the time to publish something like this. Thanks to the author!

50 Years of Playboy Centerfolds (NSFW)
Title says it all. And remember NSFW means “Not Safe For Work” guys!
This is a great way to really see how the American people have defined and redefined beauty throughout the past few decades. The most amazing part of this review though, outside of the insanely unkempt pubic hair, is how much more beautiful women were before the whole plastic surgery craze started. Some of the best looking women are from the late 60’s/early 70’s but as soon as you get into the 80’s you start to see the fake breasts and slight airbrushing work. Once you hit the 90’s it really gets rampant and any woman posing since 2000 is obviously airbrushed and photoshopped to look completely unreal even. Maybe it’s just me, but I think most men (and I say men since boys really have no idea what they want and base that strictly off what they’ve seen in movies or magazines) prefer “real” women who have natural breast, some curves, and a nice butt. And this is exactly why I really do read Playboy for the articles now instead of the pictures.
