It’s inevitable, you’re playing Scrabble and your mind draws a blank in how to leverage the letters you have, so you fall back on ‘of’ or ‘at’ which are weak attempts to stay in the game.

Mental Floss has a list of 10 great words to help you win at Scrabble. Words like: Cwm, Jo, Adz and many more that will stand the dictionary challenges sure to follow.

This is a well rounded list of at UGO.com as they attempt the near impossible which is to identify the hottest women of scifi. They have everyone from T’Pol of Enterprise to Colonel Wilma Deering from Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century to Yori of Tron.

After you’ve gone through that list, check out my own work in progress this year called “The Women Of Sci-Fi And Their Provocative Poses“, so far we have:

• Gillian Anderson (Agent Dana Scully)
• Amanda Tapping (Col. Samantha Carter)
• Jeri Lynn Ryan (Seven of Nine)

This is an interesting piece on drawing, especially how to handle a weakness you may have in drawing. For instance, if you’re fairly adept at drawing but for the life of you, you can’t draw hands and you subject of interest must have hands, this is how you deal with the dilemma.

Simply fantastic and funny examples at a.viary.com.

Gizmodo has the story.
