21 Degrees of Separation, Flavor, Paydays and Artillery

For a lunchtime, here's a few morsels:

• Like a lot of people out there, I 've been having fun with the Band to Band Links page, which you can use to prove that while there is no link between Big Black and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and that you can get from Big Black to Fleetwood Mac in 21 steps. It's also kind of amazing to discover how many of the paths between bands involve Whitesnake. Whitesnake!
• Mo Rocca and Flavor Flav, together at last. Well, at least I'm assuming that is Flavor Flav, it's been a long time since I've seen anything of Public Enemy.
• Been caught chewing! A woman gets arrested for eating a Payday bar in a metro station. See also: the little girl who got arrested for eating french fries on the metro several years ago.
• Saint Barbara, the Patron Saint of Artillery.
