Brightest Young Things

….where we rip off “the best” of the internet and present it to you as a precious gift-post, topped with a bow we bought pre-tied from CVS and attached with an adhesive strip, ready to go and be consumed with your first coffee/tea/quickie of the day. Voila! Morning magic! On rotation.

Since it is Monday, we'll keep this easy and breezy (but mostly not beautiful).

• Morning Reaffirmation time: 9 Best Mirror Pep Talks are Here. If John Travolta can do it-so can you

• After that, learn something new: Wikihow teaches you how to do anything (and we do mean ANYTHING). And considering that it is a "collaborative writing project", if their "How to Survive a Tsunami" tips need editing, you can go in and do so yourself. Oh wait....

• Finally! Answer(S)! What does it mean to be human?

• Have you touched yourself today? And more importantly, are you ready to be judged? (in several cagtegories)?

• Someone hates Comcast('s service) more than you: Two teenagers who say they hijacked Comcast's Web portal on Thursday expect to be arrested for their actions

• Video of the day: Jon LaJoie has pretty much nailed every guy's inner monologue whenever a hot chick is around. Pretty much defying every since "What it means to be Human" point.
