Kris Jenner wants to sell you sex potions

You know how it is. You're not really in the mood ... but then you take a couple of minutes to envision Kris and Bruce Jenner getting it on and you're ready to go. The smart marketing team behind something called Zestra clearly recognized the inherent aphrodisiac (aphrodisiacial?) qualities of Kris and hired her to promote their product.

Us has this: "After nearly 21 years of marriage, Kris Jenner still has the hots for her husband Bruce - but that doesn't mean they don't need a little assistance in the bedroom. The 56-year-old mother of Kourtney, 32, Kim, 31, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, is now the celebrity spokesperson for Zestra, a brand of arousal oils that vows to "help women get in the mood and ready for romance in minutes." "You can't always plan a romantic dinner or wait for a vacation to have amazing sex, so you have to take advantage of those moments of mutual intimacy," Jenner says in her testimonial. "For me, [Zestra provides] instant gratification. In a busy, complicated, hectic life, you can still fit in the time for sex EVEN WHEN YOU'RE SWAMPED COUNTING YOUR MONEY AND YOUR CHILDREN'S MONEY, and you know it's going to be enjoyable." The E! reality star believes Zestra can "add a little excitement" to any woman's love life. "Relationships have ebbs and flows and ups and downs that you just have to go with. You have to find simple ways to spice it up - to keep feeding the fire and keep monotony out of monogamy," Kris says. "All of us have those moments when we look at our partner and think to ourselves, 'Seriously? Not you again.' And, then other times, they are the cutest thing in the world. Try something new and keep an open mind."

And then we have the to-do list to make you feel like the laziest, stupidest, no-good lay-about ever. Or maybe that's just me. This from NPR: "Here's something you can't do every day: How about you and I slip into Leonardo da Vinci's head for moment? Deep in. Thanks to historian Toby Lester, we can. In a book soon to be published, Lester says Leonardo used to travel with a small notebook hanging from his belt, and "whenever something caught his eye," he would make a note, or begin "sketching furiously." "It is useful," Leonardo wrote, to "constantly observe, note, and consider." But when you are Leonardo, what sorts of things are buzzing around in your head? Well, Toby Lester describes what is essentially a "To Do" list buried in one of those notebooks, a bunch of things Leonardo planned to do one week, or month, in the early 1490's."

So, that's how Daylight Savings Time works

Bonus points for Game of Thrones reference. Also, DST is totally a conspiracy by the Masons, Big Oil and Opus Dei to keep us all sleepy and docile. You know it's true. (DST ends Nov. 6).

Inching ever closer to the robot uprising

And when the uprising comes and we find we can do nothing but walk quietly into the human-battery farms, I fervently hope that the robot scientists who think there will never be any consequences from making Rubik's-Cube-solving machines, are the first in line to get hooked up.

Most awesome quantum levitation ever. Today

This is very cool. And the best thing about it? It does not seem to be a stepping stone for the robot uprising. I could be wrong, of course, knowing very little about science. Maybe the robots are rejoicing right now after seeing this. It's possible. If I had been smart enough to become a scientist, I wouldn't be sitting here making stupid robot jokes, now would I?
