There's No "P" in Huacachina
Today's Bing page has a lovely image of Huacachina, a village in southwestern Peru, built around a small oasis surrounded by sand dunes. It is in the Ica Province, about five kilometers from the city of Ica in the Ica District. The oasis features on the back of the 50 Nuevo Sol note. Huacachina has a permanent population of around 100 although it hosts many tens of thousands of tourists each year.
I decided I'd open up Google Earth and look at the satellite imagery, then discovered it also had the Street View. I started my "tour" just outside the oasis, just as if I were driving into the town. I didn't go very far until I saw this:
It's a little hard to see with this screenshot, but it sure looks like the guy is peeing right by the side of the road!
Google has been sued before for showing people urinating, so I was surprised they left this one un-blurred. I forwarded the view a few feet and saw this:

What's Cookin'?
| "You Are Nigella Lawson" |
 |
When you cook, you focus on down home style foods that provide tons of comfort.
If it doesn't taste good, you don't cook it. And you never feel bad for making simple, old school favorites.
It's likely that you are quite humble about your cooking. You don't consider yourself an expert or a chef.
You may not be the biggest foodie in your circle of friends, but it's likely that you cook the tastiest food!
I was a little surprised my results said I was a female, but if I couldn't have Alton Brown, then Nigella is fine, just fine. Since this is a G-rated blog, I won't make any off-color jokes, but if I could put together the physical embodiment of the perfect woman, she would pretty much be it.

So Much Alike
Humans and bananas share about 60% of the same DNA structure.
The percentage is about the same for the fruit fly, too.
