I would pay $1.99 for a plug-in to UrbanSpoon that told me whether a restaurant's Caesar salad A) contained anchovies, or, better yet, B was made tableside, in the old style—yes, dammit, with a raw egg. I have been burned FAR too many times by "Caesar" salads that CLEARLY did not contain even the vaguest whiff of the

These worms are most likely Bloodworms, the larval stage of the Midge fly, and they feed on algae and are no harm to humans. I am a water systems engineer and my guess would be that the free chlorine concentration in the water system either was not high enough or they have a water tank that has a broken vent screen.

Best thing I have ever seen while on the road- a bright pink semi with a door decal of an elderly woman in a rocking chair smoking a cigar and knitting. What was above that in the window? An elderly woman smoking a freaking cigar and grinning at me.

I knew people were going to forget about the Atlantis gate, so I'm pleased you remembered. Although, my answer was going to be three, because I forgot about that time the original gate exploded. Also, there was that time that that guy maxed out Sam's credit cards to build a one time use gate.

Get 'em Frauenfelders! I'd change the title of this post to "L.A. TSA needlessly slut-shames the RIGHT 15-year-old girl." This kind of abuse needs to be shut down, and I can't imagine a better crew to fight it than BoingBoing. This probably happens all the time, but most people wouldn't think to complain—see most of

TRONBALL, I have never been so thoughtfully complemented. I plan to have Sleet Farmer engraved on headstone. I love it.

I once had a roommate who was named after a certain ABBA song (no joke). He and a particular girlfriend would often get very loud in the middle of the night. I get grumpy when woken up, especially when I have to be at work at 6 a.m. so when banging on the door/wall wouldn't quiet them down, I found the perfect

Not the exact same thing, but pretty much the same

This is my friend's house - they're all ok, but his cars and his house are screwed. The car bounced across both his cars before it hit the house. He's just relieved everyone is ok. Hell of a shock in the middle of the night for him.
