A Random Assortment

~ A six-year-old guesses what classic novels are about, based on the cover. Hilarious.

For instance, The Color Purple:

“This book has to be about the color purple. I think it’s a baby book. It looks like it would be very short. I think there must be a blob of purple that lives in that house. And the purple blob just stays in its home and is lazy. I think it looks like a very boring book.”

~ London mayor Boris Johnson on McDonalds at the Olympics:

"This is all just bourgeois snobbery about McDonald’s,” Johnson told foreign reporters Thursday when asked about the heavy hand of Olympic sponsors, not always associated with healthy living, including the American hamburger giant.
“It’s classic liberal hysteria about very nutritious, delicious, food — extremely good for you I’m told — not that I eat a lot of it myself,” he said.
“Apparently this stuff is absolutely bursting with nutrients,” he added.

This is gold. I don't know if this guy is serious or not, and I think it's ironic that McDonalds is such a big Olympic sponsor. But seriously, this is gold. (via Francisco)

~ Penn scientists are trying to make human organs using a 3D printer. Amazing.

~ The Amish might be taking over! (Okay, that's a slight exaggeration.)
