When I was in university, I didn't have a car. One day, I clearly overestimated my ability to carry groceries and bought more than I could handle. I managed to struggle my way onto the bus, but when I tried to get off the stop near my house, things went downhill. I was dropping bags, things were falling out of my bags, I was clearly a total disaster.

Another passenger who had gotten off at the same stop came over and asked if I needed a hand. He helped me carry my groceries all the way to my house. It completely made my day.

They're preaching to the choir. The signs are posted downtown, whereas Rob Ford's supporters are in the suburbs. The farther you get from the city core, the more supporters he has:

It's the source of a lot of friction here, because he focuses on the needs of the suburbs over the needs of the city, often to the detriment of the city. I understand that he still feels loyal to his home ward and prides himself on serving them well in the past, but as a mayor he needs to represent all of us. He doesn't seem to understand that.

As it it called the Ultimate Pop Culture Alphabet, it speaks volumes about the perceived role of women in that culture. I can't help but wish that more than 20% of the characters were female.

I'm not a fan of these. These athletes are performing amazing physical feats. They shouldn't have to worry about what they look like while they do it. They already face enough pressure to look good, especially female athletes, without worrying about pictures like this.

I know it's a bit of parody, but it makes me sad that a music video about something as non-sexual as chocolate chip cookies still includes such hyper-sexualized imagery of women.

The statement that "...hot water freezes faster than cold water," is misleading. It implies that it is universally true. It would be more accurate to say "Hot water can freeze faster than cold water under very specific conditions."

Those specific circumstances are outlined by the winner of the Mpemba Competition on the Royal Society of Chemistry website here: http://www.rsc.org/mpemba-competition/mpemba-winner.asp
