Most of it is indeed FB stock. But FB has average daily trading volume of 65 million shares, so the dude could offload billions worth of shares without that much of a hassle and get on with buying something fun, like Puerto Rico.

One of WhatsApp's founders still owned 45% of the company. With the 19 billion deal he made 8.55 billion. It costs less than a billion to send a Mars exploration rover. So if the dude felt like it, he could send like eight of those and have $550,000,000 left over for funsies.

The number of users grows by something like a million / month and most of the users are active (which is very rare for an app).

This bizarre little trick helped me read top-10 things about the final days of the Best Show on WFMU (You won't believe what happened next!)

Hey, it's the rubber man from first season of American Horror Story.

You remember correctly: Colicchio was the one who was adamant that Hosea should win. I think his reason was that the other chef's (Stefan) dessert was old fashioned(?). Guest judge of the finale thought that Stefan should win.

The A.V. Club
I looked it up and apparently it's a real creature in Bavarian folklore

This was the best pilot of the season! Can't wait to see what happens next!

Can't argue with heroin being a bad idea. Keith Richards says in his book that in addition to just being dangerous, it's extra dangerous when you relapse: after being clean for a while you don't have the tolerance you used to have, so when you relapse and do as much heroin as you used to, it's actually way too much.…

It probably doesn't help that the actresses portraying those characters weren't that good either. Marina Sirtis especially is pretty much Yar-bad for at least the first two seasons (just watched first two seasons and was shocked how terrible everybody is apart from Patrick Stewart).

You are absolutely right - it feels pointless because we have no clue what is going on. That would be ok if this was like the 5th episode of a new show trying to figure itself out. However this was the 56th(!) episode of Grimm, so it's high time they either get the plot line going or drop it.

Well, in their defence they did use very clever code language in their emails. Like the mails said N instead of Nick. No way anybody could figure that out!

It's telling that here at the comments section nobody is discussing whatever it is that is going on in Vienna: I don't remember a genre show where the "big" story has fallen more flat. When the show cuts to Vienna in my I head go "oh god these guys again, cut back to Monroe already you stupid show", and I bet I'm not…

I'm just waiting for the day when Hear This and Hatesong feature the exact same song. Judging from the recent Hear This entries that day is not far.

Uh, that's Outland and it's excellent!

Not a sex position, but Urban Dictionary does suggest singapore sling is "when ur banging a tai hooker and it ends up being a dude".

In case anybody's interested, here is the playlist in Spotify format:

"have no browsing habits that would mark me as single"

What, no pick for the worst plot line of the year?

I'd rate that last line an A … if I could.
