You thought the Scanner had disappeared, hadn't you? Be honest. I know I've been an absent minded professor around these parts with the election, but the good news is the election is over! There is some slightly less than good news, but we'll get into that soon enough.

In the meantime, let us wander through the dangerous and hilarious fields of the Interwebs.

Wouldn't you know it, the music industry wins again. A federal judge in Bangor threw out a lawsuit from two University of Maine students against the recording industry.

It was bound to happen and it's hilarious: Stuff Journalists Like. I just feel like a fool for not doing it sooner myself.

MTV's Splashpage blog asks the important question in this election - who would comics book characters vote for? (Hat tip: Pop Candy)

In other important election news: Bacon beats Fries. It was not even close.

I'm still trying to make sense of this: Kool Keith and Tom Waits together making music?

Belated Halloween costume shenanigans: Pope-Diddy.

This happened last week, but I wanted to make note of it: The Beatles are entering the age of digital music through...a Rock Band videogame? I'll only be onboard if I can play all of Revolver.

More bacon news: Make that sandwich better with Baconaise. I'm no fan of Mayo, but I could probably be persuaded to use baconaise on my club sandwiches. (Thanks to Rachel)

Also, no home is complete in my book unless it has a bacon throw pillow. This is why I don't have a home redesign show.

'STACHE ALERT: You thought moustaches were only for March, but you would be wrong. It's MOvember and time to grow out the handlebar for a good cause.

What follows bacon and moustaches? High Life. Ad Age reports that in these tight economic times cheap beers such as the champagne of beers can do well. (Hat tip: Portland Psst)

Would you believe CraigsList is finally cracking down on the whole prostitution ads thing. Way to move quickly on that one, guys.

If you hate LOLCATS as much as I do (and if you have a pulse you will at some point) then this comic strip will make you laugh.

Some ladies will be happy to know they should take advantage of Men Make Dinner Day tonight. Expect a lot of dudes at the grocery store tonight. (Thanks to ac)

Personally I think this "Economy" ice sculpture says a lot. Imagery doesn't get more straight forward than that.

Yes, it's true, now even your house plants will be able to Twitter. Maybe this will be the death of Twitter.

I can't explain this, but it's funny: "Rainbow Vomiting Pandas" (Hat tip: Urlesque)
