Is a great site for Muppet fans.
From their March 1 news page: That Grover is such a trend-setter! First he appears as Sesame Street’s resident cute and furry monster, and then Elmo steals that mantle from him. Grover becomes a superhero, and then Elmo wants to be a superhero. Grover delivers telegrams, and then Elmo wants to deliver telegrams. And most recently, Grover appeared on Dr. Oz and now Elmo is going to appear on Dr. Oz! It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya! Wednesday, March 3

Presenting When You Marry, a 1962 textbook for...health class?
Sex ed? Home economics? Relationships & Traditional Gender Roles
101? Some unholy (but Jesus-based-religions-approved!) combination of
all of the above?
As far as I can tell, this book was intended for a high school course in "Family Life Education," a White-House-encouraged initiative to strengthen future American families against the corrupting forces of communism, feminism, interracial dating and heavy petting. We're going beyond the flour-sack baby, here, people, we're going to bring down the national divorce rate through our ability to make high school students squirm in their seats. It's outdated! It's offensive! It's adorable! It's all this, and more. Much, much more. You can find out much more here... Monday, October 12

Just print the PDF version
onto full-sheet sticker paper, then cut out disclaimers and apply to
books. Give some to your kids to take to school. Leave some next to the
appropriate books at your local bookstore. And for extra good fun,
sticker your friends' books when they're not looking.
In case you're curious, wording for the top left disclaimer is taken verbatim from the sticker (view)
designed by Georgia's Cobb County School District ("A community with a
passion for learning" is their motto). Really! Their school board
actually plagiarized Alabama's evolution disclaimer (view).
The other disclaimers are my variants that explore the real the
motivations of the delusional, anti-science folks who tend to migrate
to positions of power on school boards across the country. My naive
hope is that the above stickers might deter other school districts from
using disclaimers to shield children from developing a science-based
view of reality. It's at least worth a try. More Wednesday, September 23

- I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. -More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me. -Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. -I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? -Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk. -That's enough, Nickelback. -I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

Interesting article about how women are portrayed in films
Excerpt: cli⋅ché
1. a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse, as sadder but wiser, or strong as an ox. 2. (in art, literature, drama, etc.) a trite or hackneyed plot, character development, use of color, musical expression, etc. 3. anything that has become trite or commonplace through overuse. There's not much that's more irksome than clichés -- the flesh-eating fungus of Hollywood, the virus that makes Tinseltown's already rampant repetition all the more tiresome. They're completely trite and overused, but the cinematic machine clings to them like they're energy-giving oil. More here Tuesday, September 22

This is a collection of badly spelled / forged products from our friends in China. Some of them are quite interesting, especially the Ball Star trainers, two words which I tend to associate with entirely another industry.

The heady days of the Sinclair Zx81? Tiny keys, 1k of memory. It was the first real home computer, and many times myself and my friends would pretend to be programmers, typing
10 PRINT "Ed Is A Twat" 20 GOTO 10 Ah. That's about all you could do on there without upgrading it to a mammoth 1Mb of computing power. ![]() PHOTO smin via Flickr Your kids may never know these and other joys.

Oh yes. Men have many secrets, some of which are disgusting. Actually, all of them are disgusting. Actually, all of them are pretty gross. Gay men have the edge on us. They tend to be tidier, in better shape, better dancers, more focussed. This may be an illusion, but frankly it always seems they are doing better with women than me.
Having said that, A kangaroo with halitosis stands more chance of pulling than me. ![]()

You know those guys (and gals?) who are just, like, super proud of their farts? Thanks to this cool guy and Twitter, these assholes can indulge their disgusting habit without wrecking our noses.
Known Gentleman Randy Sarafan decided to make this office chair to help "accurately document and share [his] life as it happens," which is as admirable a cause as there ever has been to open a Twitter account. The setup is surprisingly complex: A natural gas sensor does the sniffing; an Arduino does the thinking; an Squidbee wireless module does the communicating; Twitter does the sharing. It's a feat, to be sure. <<<MORE>>> From Gizmodo Saturday, July 25
