Today at Flavorpill, we were surprised to hear that the Mona Lisa almost took a bath. We wondered if we’d sleep better on a Twitter pillow. We were blown away by these photographs of thousands of soldiers in formation taken by Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas. We got the inside scoop on the Apple logo from its designer Rob Janoff. We read about the rarely-discussed negative aspects of the Woodstock Festival. We were excited by the New York Film Festival’s star-lite line-up this year. We read Jeffrey Wells’ scathing review of Inglourious Basterds. We weren’t surprised to discover that the Obama baby boom never happened — do the people who think up these things remember that the economy was tanking? We rocked out to Thomas Pynchon’s playlist (we share a love of The Beach Boys). And finally, we wasted way too much time poring over Mr. Skin’s the Top 100 Celebrity Nude Scenes of all time. Sadly, it’s all ladies…

I try to not be anal, but why are there so many typos?? I want to like you guys. "Poring", not "pouring", Pynchon is misspelled. Argh. Other commenters, attack away if you must, but, seriously, this blog has been pretty sloppy. Also, soldiers in formation really aren't interesting. And the social networking pillows have been around for months. (Mashable ought to be ashamed of itself. I'm a little surprised that none of their commenters called them on it. But then, they've gotten really dumbed-down lately.)
Hi Kamilah,
Thanks for leaving a comment. You're right — those two typos were glaring. What's On is the last post I do each day, and sometimes I think it shows. Thanks for reading so closely. They're fixed now!
It's alright. I know it's tough to find good new stuff to talk about every day. I try to do it on my own smaller blogs. You guys mostly do a pretty good job of introducing interesting new things to look up. I appreciate the response.
