Better yet, we need to get to the root of the evil: PHOTOBOOTHS. Photobooths must die!

No, it's squared metres — ten times more surface area than squared feet!

I'd take the South America map over Europe any day — those former Soviet/Yugoslav/Czechoslovak republics are damn tricky.

Oh Doug, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is merely the name of the German state where the hamlet of Bergholz is located. Leave the Pomeranians alone!

I hit play on the video just as Rage's Fistful of Steel was playing in my iTunes and it took me the full duration of this clip to realize it was not the actual soundtrack to this.

You are dead wrong about the absence of geared bikes in the early years of the tour. #fuckyeahsturmeyarcher

No mention at all of the fact that the best shots are had roughly half an hour after sunset, when you can capture the sky without clouds or colours washing out and when artificial sources of light start becoming more (but not too) apparent? REALLY?

WOW!

DEMONYMS are in Wikipedia. I hate it when writers revel in their pretend-ignorance like that.

And soon — Scotland!

Do you peeing sitting down, or have a urinal in your home? Believe me, I've tried the no-hands thing: if there's too much pressure to the flow you get this dancing water hose thing happening, with massive collateral damage.

For vintage bikes/parts: Craigslist all the way, baby!

Maybe I need to explore harder, but quality on Vine means sorting through a giant haystack — and all I've been getting is chaff.

Vine seems fresh and fun, but the quality of the content is very poor. Sure there's the slick-looking "editor's picks," but dig into any hashtag that might be of interest to you (eg - #biking) and it's all pimply teenagers with braces going "look at me, I'm biking!". And all the social interaction seems to be about…

Yeah, (the Canadian province of) Quebec is also cracking down. Our gouvernants want you to register and pay $250 to be able to rent out your place for less than a month at a time.

I have mixed feelings about this: your chilled sunscreen might then become too viscous to spread effectively. When you start rubbing it in you'll get those thick greasy streaks of product that you then have to work on spreading out, lest you end up with uneven coverage. (Also, a vigorous shake of the bottle should…

My budding manboobs remain firm and perky, thankyouverymuch!

If Sen. Rubio's (R-Poland Spring) combover is "varsity-level," then Old Man McCain here's is positively Olympian.
