Daniel Lieberman, a professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, says:
People have been running barefoot for millions of years and it has only been since 1972 that people have been wearing shoes with thick, synthetic heels.
Well, they weren’t running on asphalt for million years. And they weren’t running for the pleasure or the healthy effect of it either, I guess.
There are a few other things I disagree with in the article, but it makes an interesting read non-the-less.
I just watched one of the worst films of the year, maybe even two – “Pineapple Express“. It’s one of those films which is not funny enough to be a comedy and not serious enough to be an action movie. All the main characters are stoned during the whole film, but being an average actors and not being actually stoned while shooting the film, that looks pretty bad. I mean, I’m all for people to do silly things, but people who badly pretend doing silly things, it’s just silly.
There were a couple of good scenes, but they were very short and far apart. There were some special effects, with explosions and such, but definitely not enough to save the film.
And on top of that, the film is rated 7.3 on IMDB, with more than 50,000 voters. I don’t know who all of those people are, but them being all in one place is actually scary.
My rating – 2 stars. Barely.
When talking about what else WordPress could be used for except blogs, classified ads directories come up high on the list. It’s one of those examples which illustrate the scenario nicely and doesn’t require a lot of work.
So, how can WordPress be used to build a classified ads directory? Here is a list of a few ways you might go:
In this post, I’ll focus only on the third option.

Just watched “The Escapist“. I think all the dramatic prison escape movies are enough now to have their own genre. I also think that I am becoming a fan of this genre. All these films seem to be based on the same simple story, which they twist and turn in many different ways, making it original and interesting enough to watch over and over again.
“The Escapist” is just such movie. Same old story of a few people breaking out of prizon – each of his own reasons. They need to build the team, conceal a plan, and then execute that plan, loosing as few as possible on the way, and avoid getting caught. This film in particular is extra good because of the story telling and some really good acting.
Moving, dramatic, engaging – highly recommended to the fans of the genre. 5 stars.
