- Tinfoil hats actually amplify mind-control beams: This is important research for my conspiracy-mongering friends. Maybe I fear that these results — and not the original recommendation to wear a tin-foil hat — are a plot by the Powers That Be to control us. How will we ever know?!?
- If NFL QBs talked trash on Facebook…: If you follow football, this is hysterically brilliant… and, as you should expect, very crude.
- Pre-Peeled Bananas Incur the Wrath of Humanity: The article begins perfectly: “Gee, I would enjoy this banana so much more if I didn’t have to take off the peel,” said no one ever.
- Stop Pagination Now: Pagination on the web is like… um, forcing the internet to imitate the limitations of print magazines. Obviously, it’s done for tracking and advertising purposes, but still: UGH.
- Here’s What’s Wrong With Everyone’s Understanding Of Dexter: “I love [Dexter] and therefore I’m happy to root for the morally ambiguous protagonist, but TV is wrong, this isn’t how a serial killer would act if he wanted to be normal, this is exactly how you think you would act if you decided to kill people.” (I don’t agree with a bunch of the article, but that seems right to me.)
- The NFL’s 300-Pound Fashion Victims: The skinny players look great in the new tight-fitting uniforms… the fat guys, not so much.
- Grown-ups killed my kitty: Wow, what an awful, awful story. The law and the courts, I think, should recognize that pets are not ordinary property, but of irreplaceable value to their owners. Damages for this kind of negligence should not consist of just the $50 required to adopt a new cat. There’s more commentary here, and here’s the awful story of the beloved dog wrongly euthanized too.
