A Definitive History Of The Last Two Decades Of Western Civilization As Told Through Rap Lyrics
Mysteries Debunked. Scores Settled. Lessons Learned.
Over at Rap Genius, they've built a clever little tool called Rap Stats, which indexes a a compendium of rap lyrics and allows just about anyone chart the frequency of just about anything over the last twenty-odd years of rap songs.
But as Rap Genius notes itself, the tool is much more than that and, in many ways, offers up a salient lens from which to view the last few decades in popular culture. The rise of the iPhone and the demise of Blackberry? The sudden boom of the club drug Molly? The ages-old debate surrounding the virtues of money, power, and respect? They're all captured here in exquisite detail.

Moral of the story: Buy everything from every street vendor because you never know who really made it.
According to a video posted to Banksy's blog, the anonymous artist set up an art booth Saturday morning. It looks to be around Central Park South in Manhattan.

He appears to have sold many more throughout the day.

FDA Investigation Links Tainted Jerky Treats To Dog Deaths
Why are so many pets getting sick from jerky snacks?
Kham / Reuters
Since 2007, there have been more than 550 deaths and 3,600 dog illnesses tied to pet jerky. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration isn't naming any particular brand and has been unable to find an exact cause of the problem.
"Most of the jerky treats implicated have been made in China," the FDA said on its website.
The FDA is looking for dog and cat owners who have had pets that may have gotten ill after consuming the jerky.
FDA reports that after hours of eating the treats, some pets exhibited a "decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus), increased water consumption, and/or increased urination."
The FDA recommends caution in feeding pets jerky treats — stating that they are not essential to a balanced diet — and to stop serving them immediately if your pet becomes sick. The agency also urges owners to save the remaining treats and its packing for possible testing.
In January, Purina and Del Monte, two of the nations largest manufacturers of treats issued voluntary recalls of jerky-type treats.

A Restaurant Disguises Its "B" Rating From The Health Department By Turning It Into A "Brunch" Sign
A classic example of a moment where someone spends more time trying to cheat on the test instead of studying.
Astor Row Cafe, a restaurant in Harlem, cleverly disguised their "B" rating from the New York City health department by turning it into an ad for their Sunday Brunch.
According to the NYC Department of Health, their B grade was given due to evidence of mice as well as improperly sanitizing surface areas.
Nice try.

The Latest Twitter Update Is Causing A Lot Of Accidental Follows
A problem or a great new feature?
The latest Twitter updated added retweet and fav buttons to the timeline. It also added a follow button that has apparently been causing a ton of unwanted follows.
Tim Haines, founder of Favstar noted last week that this is causing a lot of follow/unfollow activity, which may explain why it could have happened to you the past two weeks.
My advice to you? Be careful when swiping or else you could be the next victim of an accidental follow!
