Based on the title, you’d think this would be a underhand slow pitch of a list — so self-evident that it wouldn’t really be interesting to read… but I laughed pretty hard scrolling through the reasons, even before I actually read the post. (from Cracked)
hahah this is great

this new msn livesearch is interesting. so, i’m trying to go from west la to the galen center for the usc game with srini…anyway, i was searching to see who had the best live-updating traffic-based directions (also, my new idea is for you to plug in a time in advance and for it to tell you the best route at that hour) - and microsoft has this new thing called clearflow. so far...

i just realized
i bet it is not healthy that i both drop my phone a lot, and put it in my mouth a lot
(i realized this when i was getting out of my car just now, and in my jumble to handle phone food and keys, my phone flew up and fell to the ground, then i picked it up and put it in my mouth)

So it used to be that any relatively well received blockbuster movie (Jaws, Star Wars, ET, Raiders) would get nominated for best picture…not even that long ago. Now, the academy seems to look with disdain on anything that grosses more than $100M. I understand why you don’t give Independence Day a nomination (sorta), but when a movie is one of the highest rated of the year, and is on...
The Oath Flub
Fox News is gonna be all over this (Drudge already is)…So Obama made 2 stumbles in his oath:
Link to video
1) He rushed through the opening bit and stepped on John Roberts continuing his part. Various inaugurations have used that first cutoff at different points, clearly they weren’t on the same page. Nerves could have played a part.
2) The flub in the middle. The text of the...

Vamsi: Hey! Where are you?
John: We're at the base of the Lincoln Memorial. It's a bit far but it's a great vantage point, directly across the reflecting pool from everything.
Vamsi: Wow that's awesome!
John: I know, you can totally feel the electricity in the air. This is a great place to witness history.
Vamsi: I know, that's where I'm going to tell my kids I was standing.
John: I hate you [click]
so i was just updating facebook
and i was thinking, i bet i could post some sort of semi-believable anectdote, like “remember the time william howard taft got stuck in a bathtub and the 1909 inauguration was delayed for 6 hours?” and appropriately edit wiki to corroborate said story, and a LOT of people would be bamboozled. or at least some people.
EDIT: wiki already says “Though typically attributed to...

Wind Chill Advisory

It’s -6 here in Chicago. That means there’s an 89 degree difference between where Vamsi is and where I am. Windchill is currently between -25 to -35. That makes it a 113 degree difference. What. The. Fuck.
I live right on the lake. Oddly, the two blocks closest to the lake are always much windier than anywhere else. As in, you can be walking along Michigan Ave and it’ll be mildly...

No Son of Mine Plays Oregon Trail Like That.
By Michael Nelson Price

Listen, son, we need to have a talk. This isn’t going to be easy for either of us. You are not my son. I’m sorry, I know this will come as a blow to you. But the fact is, no son of mine plays Oregon Trail like you do.
The first sign something was wrong was when I watched you choose the banker as your occupation to start a game. The banker? Really?...

Evelyn Nesbit, a model from the early 1900s, is at the center of an amazing string of stories
-She was a lover of Stanford White, a famous architect (he designed the Washington Square Arch) who had one of the best mustaches ever. He was much older than her, but she just couldn’t resist the mustache. He had crazy sex parties, and installed a velvet swing in his house where naked girls...
“Dude, there are so many Enola Gay victims here.”

He’s talking about Rajeev’s former roommate. Not me.

That’s probably an important thing to clarify.

False, it was Omar Seyal, on vacation in Hawaii, January 8, 2009.

There are more shocking names on this list - ie Larry Bird. I’ve always contended that Travis Henry’s is more impressive than Calvin Murphy’s, if only because he’s the most equal opportunity.
