When Corey Rich was 13, a teacher noticed that he had very capable biceps.

"When Corey Rich was 13, a teacher noticed that he had very capable biceps." Best sentence I read today - - it's the first sentence of an introduction to an interview with an adventure sports photographer.

Here's a few other items that got my attention this week:

1. Japan fired its air force chief for writing an article claiming that Japan was actually pretty good to Koreans during WW2 and was tricked into bombing Pearl Harbor by those crafty Americans. Link. Via.


2. Criss Angel's new Cirque du Soleil show "Believe" is laughably bad, along the lines of Elizabeth Berkley's "Showgirls." On the other hand, the new rock opera about the life of Linda "Deep Throat" Lovelace gets a solid review from the LA Times.


3. Could there possibly be a shipping company called "HIV Carriers?"


4. California's anti-gay marriage proposition is so confusing that even experienced politicians opposing it are telling people to vote "yes."


5. Keys can be duplicated from a photo taken up to 200 feet away. Via.


6. And is this the sexiest photo ever taken of someone lying on Star Wars sheets?
