Is nobody going to mention that the linked article is written by Lifehacker alum Melanie Pinola?

Funny he can get all the weird Croatian ones, and yet misses out on the Spanish one in Rodríguez (source: I’m a sleepless Spaniard who stayed up till 2am to watch that fucking annoying last quarter)

I doubt I’ll get out of the grays with this lame post, but I do remember John Malkovich having an over-the-top death in Con Air (pretty dire movie otherwise), which involved several running-overs, shots and eventually getting impaled...

For the use that your wife and you are doing, it seems that you might enjoy Out of Milk - specifically for shopping lists, either on the web or on mobile, can be categorised by section, and most of the important features are free.

You might want to look up “Governor of Poker” - it’s a Flash-based game set in a Western scenario where you play poker against a bunch of computer players in order to get out of a town. The first couple of levels are free to play on a bunch of arcade games sites; the full game asks you to pay for it. I found it a good…

I love (loved?) 8tracks, but recently I have been annoyed at the poor choices on some songs. I listen to a lot of classic rock playlists, and lately a lot of tracks come from awful bootleg recordings of concerts, radio recordings with announcer’s voices, or some horrible fan remixes. This is even happening on…

I played around with the simulation a bit (I am a secondary school science teacher). Some of the very early sections, which deal with physical traits, might be suitable for your daughter. But it soon starts dealing with DNA sequences, even at a simple level - so I am recommending this for middle schoolers, with some…

I checked the map, and I came to say exactly that - glad that someone else had pointed that out. If anything, both Spanish and Catalan (and French, Italian, etc.) are dialects of Latin.

And another favourite (I found this thread late, but I am catching up): Numberphile. Great for your inner mathematics nerd. Here is one of my favourites: Graham explains Graham's Number

One that I haven't seen mentioned in the comments: Piled Higher and Deeper. Apart from a fun webcomic about academia, they publish great animations of research work explained by the scientists themselves, such as this:

I need to ask, because I am not seeing the credit anywhere... who drew this illustration? It is just magnificent!

Am I the only one who got a bit saturated by all the flourish, pop-culture references and multiple-clause sentences in that interview and thought, "Dude, you're trying too hard"?
