Houses being carried out to sea on Japanese coast

Mea culpa for the lateness. No idea how I forgot to make today’s Daily Blend for so long.

• The Atlantic’s In Focus blog presents 48 amazing (and heart-wrenching) photos [pictured] from the Japanese quake.

• Today in “disgustingly deluded crackpots I really, really hope are poes”. (Updated below)
  (via Pharyngula)

• Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer shows how to respond with class to an insult from some has-been.

• The Mormon Brigham Young University (BYU) apparently has some authoritarian, hypocritical and plain weird policy about … beards.

• http://ifyouwatchitbackwards.com/ – am so adding this to my RSS reader.

UPDATE: (03/15/11 4:20 AM) – The “Thank God for Japan quake” video has been taken down after being hit by a (presumably bogus?) copyright claim and the video’s creator’s YouTube account has been closed. Here’s a transcript at the Examiner, instead. (Pity the poor bastard who had to type that out word-for-word.)
