We have such different ideas of what will "make my week."

Some additional advice and virtual pats on the back from a guy who didn't lose his virginity until 30:

Disliking tennis and loving day drinking? They really ARE just like us!

Are there people who DON'T love day drinking???

I dunno about you guys, but that first bit about day-drinking makes me think Pippa sounds pretty damn awesome.

Fun Fact: People are raped every day in regions without the internet. These groups enjoy ignoring that not everything is a first world, high speed HDTV zone.

One of them on Deadspin said that the "could he have been lying about where he was?" question wasn't stupid because a man's life was on the line.

I find it totally fascinating that the "people thought the Earth was flat except Columbus" narrative is so popular here in the US, despite it being very clearly untrue. My theory is that Columbus' true story goes against so many American myths (that success comes from hard work, bucking convention, moral uprightness,…

I had this same exact conversation with someone at work, who said he was 'conflicted' about how he should feel about her because her demeanor seemed so 'off.'

She speaks three languages and is more intelligent than 90% of White America.

I truly hope that if Zimmerman is found innocent that people RIOT in the streets.

Because our media are ridiculously fucking racist.

Columbus was such a fuckup. Despite the fact that Eratosthenes had estimated the diameter of the earth at 24,700 miles using a deep well, a measuring stick and a paid walker who counted his steps for 500 miles or so, Columbus used the more precise measurement tools of his time and managed to get a figure closer to…

“Where would the world be if Columbus and Magellan and other world explorers believed conventional wisdom and believed the world was flat…"

These things were the Dutch tulips of the previous decade. I knew of at least one person whose financial portfolio was centered around the valuation of the rare ones with manufacturing defects. How crazy is that?

You're funny. And dumb. But mostly funny.

yeah...you totally took the "sad day for Singapore" quote completely out of context. The original poster wrote that it's a sad day for Singapore because of the abuse directed towards McDonald's employees by people wanting to buy the item. Jezebel "journalism" once again...

George, you should really focus on your trial.

She said a friend wrote the letter for her. Again, this could easily come off to the jury as a smug asshole with a law degree and a lot of money badgering a 19 year old poor black girl who can't read/write and clearly doesn't want to be there for 6 straight hours, often asking the exact same question multiple times.…

I think you are thinking of foster-to-adopt, which is already very low-cost. Private adoption is quite expensive, partly because of legal fees (it costs a fair sum of money to legally transfer parenthood from one person to another) and partly because there is a thriving industry of "adoption professionals" that pair…

Whitney Cummings FTW!!
