the projection was a safety hazard because the light was blinding to individuals inside Low.

although in retrospect it was obviously a terrible idea, I once read In Cold Blood while on the bus on my way to a conference in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, where I was staying alone in a tiny hotel room in a quaint old repurposed farmhouse.

my favorite is John Snow the epidemiologist, who was the first person to be all like, "heyyyy, maybe pumping London's drinking water out of reservoirs that are literally full of human waste is what is causing all these cholera epidemics???"

yes! I think the majority of people catastrophically misunderstand the first amendment. that's one of the many, many reasons the xkcd webcomic should probably be required reading in high school:

FOR SOME REASON I thought that I could watch this, alone, while 6-months pregnant, and I would enjoy it and everything would be fine.

you can't blame him for that; things just escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

ME TOO! at first I thought it was because I'm in the babymaking business at the moment, but all of these replies just convince me that normal people find this video moving.

he's in Florida? but... at this point he's basically the only Bostonian left* who would have a chance of keeping his head above the snowpack level.

just from the headline I assumed that by "forced abortions" he meant how if your unvaccinated child sneezes on a pregnant woman and gives her measles (which can happen even if she's vaccinated, which is why we need herd immunity), it can cause her to miscarry. but no, that's a real, actual danger and apparently he's…

he's a scholar. he enjoys scholarly pursuits.

in hockey, there's also the very small but very real chance that you'll get a skate blade to the carotid artery.

yeah, I was hoping people would extoll one of these models as being super easy to clean, but I can see that just being a universal problem.

I have the Crane Drop, and think it works fine in terms of humidifying. It is, however, hard to keep clean. It develops that pinkish-peach mold after one or two rounds of use, and soaking it with vinegar solution doesn't really clean it—you also need to wipe it all down, but there's no way to get inside the reservoir…

head injuries are no joke. and the Natasha Richardson kind is maybe even worse than the obvious and bloody kind because it gives everyone a chance to exhale and you're back up and walking around and then suddenly it's like OH JUST KIDDING YOU DIED. and then your husband goes through an identity crisis and only makes…

my husband's grandmother just texted him to instruct him to tell me to "be careful not to fall down if it's slippery outside." so, I guess, at least it's nice and specific advice.

but during that time period, it will smell. speaking on behalf of all the other pregnant ladies who can suddenly smell all the smells in a 20-yard radius, please place all food remnants inside some sort—any sort—of containing device. if you do not, we will barf on your car. *

Christine, I love you so much, really. But even you do not get to take up an extra seat with your purse.

true story: when we got to P&P in AP English, my high-school boyfriend decided to go the Cliffs Notes route. to his credit, he studied the plot section and characters list pretty closely. to his detriment, this caused him to tell our teacher during a class discussion that he disagreed with Jane Austen's decision to…

NEVER give up on getting a free kitchen aid. they literally make cookies for you while lean on the counter sipping your coffee. keep the dream alive!
