@spiraloflife: At the moment, Childe Hassam's Bowl of Goldfish.

@ablative: That's usually what I say, too. But then, ironically, I feel like it sounds as if I didn't find it interesting!

I say as long as you're willing to play around and figure things out, you'll be able to keep up. For those who need help, xkcd has a tech support cheat sheet: [xkcd.com]

I'm spending my Sunday night reading. I love reading, so people are always loaning me books, and I've never figured out what to do when I don't like them.

@NewsBunny: I'm new to Jezebel and relatively new to New York, but I'd love to make friends with some of the awesome people on here (if newbs are welcome).

There's no such thing as too much bacon.

@Vidya108: That was my first thought on reading the article, too.

@K.H.: I think this phenomenon goes back at least to Woody Allen, who made it okay for nerdy-looking men to date conventionally attractive women.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Agreed. It has an amazing visual/aesthetic component that the Latin alphabet lacks—which, incidentally is why haiku translates so poorly into English.

@jenilane: You can be smart and funny—just not smarter or funnier than your husband.
