- Snorting a Brain Chemical Could Replace Sleep: The long-term health effects of non-sleep make me very nervous…
- I understood gender discrimination once I added “Mr.” to my resume and landed a job: Here’s a another story relevant to my recent discussion of feminism on Philosophy in Action Radio.
- Florida Accidentally Banned All Computers, Smart Phones In The State Through Internet Cafe Ban: Lawsuit: But… just consider what the law was intended to do, namely close down over 1,000 honest businesses at the drop of a hat. Lovely.
- Designer turns negative client comments into funny posters: “Mark Shanley, an Irish graphic designer, turned his favorite “worst feedback comments” into hilarious posters. Now that’s constructive criticism.”
- 4 People Who Just Had The Worst Day Of Work Ever: Nothing says “bad day” like accidental porn on a jumbotron.
- DivaCup Model 2 Post-Childbirth Review: Best.Amazon.Review.EVAR. It begins, “So one of the many new devices I purchased for this trip was a Diva “Moon Cup”. Since feminine hygine supplies would be hard to come by and waste-producing, I opted instead to buy a thing like a Barbie Deluxe Toilet Plunger, and stuff it up my hooha.” It gets better from there!
- Elderly men held for years in ‘dungeon’ at Houston home: “Four men, apparently invalids, were being held for years while residents of the house stole their Social Security or veterans checks.” AUGH.
- This Is What It Would Look Like If You Dropped Manhattan Into the Grand Canyon: Not “dropped,” but situated. The comparison of size is pretty amazing.
- Yes, the middle class has been disappearing, but they haven’t fallen into the lower class, they’ve risen into the upper class: I’m not too enamoured of this purely numerical division into classes — since $75,000 in rural North Carolina means something quite different from $75,000 in Manhattan or Los Angeles — but the data is interesting nonetheless.
- Things I Learn From My Patients: Ah look, sage advice learned from patients… such as: “Always pay your drug dealer! Bad things happen when you don’t pay.” And “Stay away from people named “Some Guy” or “This One Dude”, because they for whatever reason, just punch someone in the face or hit them with a crowbar and run off.” And “Never, ever leave flashlights, shampoo bottles, beer bottles or any long, circular object on the floor because someday you will fall on it and it will somehow, work its way up your rectum.” Take heed, folks!
- How German Sounds Compared To Other Languages: Oh Germany.
- Anthony Weiner Acknowledges New Sexting Scandal: I’m not surprised… but not because I think that Weiner is a sex addict or an idiot. In my experience, such people often want to be caught doing horrifying wrongs — not because they want to be shamed into becoming better people — but so that they can enjoy the thrill of conning people into accepting and forgiving them once caught. Really, some people are just that twisted and wrong. Beware!
