What to do outside when it's -4

Nothing. Seriously, you'll die. Stay indoors and read things on the computer. Such as:

ANCIENT MYSTERIES Have we finally solved the mystery of Easter Island? You may ask: what mystery? The natives made the statues, cut down too many trees to move the statues to their platforms, which assisted the ongoing ecological collapse. What mystery? Here's CNN:

Plaftorms similar those in Peru. Later the author writes:

The Inka-dinka-doo culture, first discovered by James Durante, could be responsible. The author believes they came across an island chain now submerged. The first comment demolishes his entire argument. Swiftly. Then you remember something at the top of the page:

NOT VETTED BY CNN.

So this is the part of CNN where people who don't work for CNN and post stuff and make you wonder, the next time you hear someone say "well, CNN reported that the other day," whether they were referencing the work of a staff journalist or someone who wrangled logon credentials and posted an expose of the subterranean lizards who run the world.

MAKE LIKE A TREE And turn into a guitar. You'll have to go here to listen to the song, and decide for yourself whether the "Back to the Future" cover is interesting or SO CRAZY FANTASTIC. But this bears noting. The Jalopnik entry (hey, BttF wouldn't be possible with a car) notes its Western flavor, and speculates:

It's touching that he thinks there are two options, equally plausible. Cue the jerk in the follow-up:

I remember listening to Sarcasey Sarcasim do the top 40 countdown every weekend, although I couldn't tell if he really liked the songs as much as he said.

SCIENCE! New frontiers in Pigeon Management. For some reason Digg highlighted this thre-year-old video today:

Let's see how that new YouTube comments policy is working out:

Says another:

MORE SCIENCE! Headline: "Nobody Will Be Driving Gas Cars in Two Years." Okay, that's nonsense. So what does the article say?

That's different from no one driving gas cars. Business Insider relates the logic at work here:

Ergo, electric cars will change everything and no one will buy gas cars. Except that the iPhone worked on existing infrastructure. Think of the gas stations, pipelines, and transports as the phone network. Imagine that the iPhone didn't work with AT&T's network at all, and required a flavor of Wifi rarely used by anyone. Also, you couldn't make a call for longer than four minutes, because you had to hang up and recharge.

If electric cars had the same range and price, sure, sales would be good. Enough to make gas driven cars obsolete in 104 weeks? Nonsense.

BTW, when the iPhone redefined people's expectations, Nokia fired back with these:
