So we're all in agreement: we're going to round up all the headline authors in the world and force them to live together on a isolated island. They'll be happy thinking up Lord of the Flies puns, and we'll be happy letting normal people write headlines like: "first microbes breathed sulfur" -- and stop there.

When I visited Hungary, I thought they were in superb shape. They must keep their obese off the tourist paths. America looked _fat_ when I got back...

While I have wondered about vertical or semi-vertical hand orientations on mice before (fully flat hurts me after a while), this looks too small for the hand in the photo, and I hope they came up with a mechanism to improve upon the aforementioned horrid Apple puck mouse's "which way is up?" problem. Maybe the next iteration.

The photo here, no idea, but the similar-looking object on the 55tools blog is Neptune's Trident. And boy is he going to be pissed that someone stole it -- best avoid ocean travel for a while.

No t-shirt please, but if you wish to help your local humane society, woot.

Little-known fact: Dr. James Naismith invented the modern game of Basketball on his _second_ attempt -- the first attempt involved shot-put balls and these sturdy buckets in place of the peach baskets. The light-weigh bouncy ball was introduced when the teams wanted to play indoors on a rainy day, and the peach baskets looked sturdy enough for the lighter ball, and the rest is history...

*and* under-populated their Markov chain so both instances of "banh mi" are followed by "single-origin coffee". Shoulda hit "generate" again...

Harry's 11 inch pianist was cut out of the books for the movies; I can't believe they cut out all those dank bar scenes, it really changed the flavor of the story.

I like Russia.

That's either the worst map of Texas or the best homage to Starry Night.

It's a pity they didn't just tax energy use 5÷ and let people figure out for themselves how to reduce energy use; the tax income could be applied towards fixing up our archaic power grid so it doesn't fail when it gets cold outside.

Nothing sadder than a boarder without his or her board.

You left out the best part about the driver in the rear seat -- he had to wear a "seat costume" that was very different looking than the normal seats. Also, it wasn't _always_ blind-driving, they fit a *mirror* into the head-rest hole that the driver could see out but not us in. Clever, but not so good for continuity. But could you imagine a show on TV today that helps independent truckers and migrant workers unionize???
