This probably does not count, but when I was 19, my mother rejected a marriage proposal on my behalf.

I think this must be a human universal - When I used to work retail, I had to try and sell store coupon books to customers (I got a tiny bonus for selling them, so you can bet your ass I pushed them hard). But there was a work-around where if a customer was spending more than $xx anyway, I could get them the coupon…

Actually pre-serum Chris Evans was actually Chris Evan's face digitally pasted on top of a skinny actor (His name was Leander Deeny) but yes, they do amazing things with digital effects these days .

I was one of those people until I went to the zoo one day and saw a hippo yawn. The teeth on those animals are pretty damn scary.

Man, and I brought cookies to the office last week too. In my defense - these cookies turned my assistant manager from a man who looked constantly on the edge of a stress related heart attack into an elf of good cheer.

Really? it was the left shark that turned out to be the popular one? I thought it was the right - oh god I have a horse in this race what is wrong with me?

The problem with acupuncture lies in the same place as Homeopathy though - it isn't based on any kind of evidence whatsoever, and isn't regulated like a medical treatment would be - which means that practitioners can claim it can do anything they want it to, and they aren't forced to the same kind of safety standards…

I had a similar argument with someone over acupuncture once. She had gone to an acupunturist once and the problem she had cleared up afterwards, so she was convinced that acupuncture had to be at least somewhat real, despite years and years of double blind studies showing its basically a placebo that puts you at risk…

I get cat toys off of Amazon. There are a bunch of them you can get for under $3 as add on items, and I find they are way cheaper and of similar quality than most of the stuff you get at the pet store. Most of the time you don't really get a choice as to the colour of your small animal murder substitute, but the cat…

I can sort of see the appeal - My co-worker got a purebred kitten a while back (I can't for the life of my remember what breed though), mostly because she was hoping for a more genial temperament than her first cat had. I guess her previous cat had been the sort of kitty who inspired dread in veterinarians and their…

This is beyond my understanding. Like, does this man have no sense of personal shame?

Even this explanation doesn't really hold water with me. Like, if you are the kind of pervert who really desperately needs to peep in on women's bathrooms and change rooms to get your rocks off, dressing as a woman is such a round about and unnecessarily complicated way of doing it - AND one that would make it way…

"Hmm, how much physical space can I put between myself and this other person while still following the photographer's instructions to put my arm around him/put my hand on her hip"

"Okay Dakota, put your arm around Jamie. Nice and close. No, like actually touch him - okay, sort of just brushing his shirt is okay. Jamie stop flinching. Ehh, close enough" *takes picture*

I posit: The entire freaking Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.

For a moment there I was afraid Imgur had leaked to the rest of the internet and I was afraid.

You cannot comprehend the utter loathing I had for Blink-182 when I was 12 - and it had absolutely nothing to do with the relative quality of their music. It is due entirely to the existence of one song.

We laid someone off this week, which sucks. But at least my boss was all:

I see your man riding a majestic, yet unusual, steed and raise you another even more majestic:
