4. College professors in the US always seem to be scrambling for tenure. But you’re unlikely to get it if you spend all of your time chasing mystical artefacts around the globe and having adventures. Tough luck, Dr Jones. (via Simon Hammond)
RT @GerryDuggan Congrats to that skydiver, but technically humanity’s longest free fall is still @TLC
5. Intelligence is a tough thing to define. Practically impossible, in fact. So if we don’t know what intelligence is, how will we know when we’ve truly created artificial intelligence? (via Maddie Palmer)
RT @CossbySweater How many times do I have to tell a guy not to Frigg me in the Assgard before they learn? Norse means Norse. (Oh know I Odin’t) …

7. Whenever the movie Road House is on TV, Mitch Glazer, husband to Road House star Kelly Lynch, gets a phone call. It doesn’t matter what time of the day or night, nor where in the world it’s playing: the moment Kelly Lynch and Patrick Swayze begin having sex on the television, Glazer’s phone rings. So why does it happen, and how does Bill Murray and his brothers Brian Doyle Murray (Wayne’s World) and Joel Murray (God Bless America) factor into it? (via Tony Martin)

10. There’s a lot of rhetoric and noise about the US election, with some serious (and typical) sledging on both sides. But if you’re an American still trying to make up your mind, and you want some reason put back in the debate, this woman gives some pretty compelling arguments as to why you should vote for Mitt Romney. (via Stephen Hahn)
