I'm sorry io9, but No! This kid isn't dressed as a Ninja Turtle, he obviously is a Ninja Turtle.

It was an honest mistake... she meant to call them thugs.

"nearly"? That was a breakdown! You need him to twitch on the ground, gibbering in tongues before you call it a breakdown? What kind of monster are you Barry?

That's why this toy was/is so popular. Gambling.

If it ain't broke..

They're right about 1 thing: The textbooks should contain facts to back up the claims, i.e., actual numbers, & citing where these facts come from. Then it will clearly not be a matter of 1 opinion vs. another, but facts vs. empty beliefs.

Many of the European diseases were a result of close proximity to animals. Europeans had many domesticated species; the people of the Americans only had a few. (dogs, turkeys, and I think ducks) Live so close to lots of animals and diseases have plenty of time to spread to humans. But eventually they got immunity to…

"Who are these Native Americans? Are they Indians?"
*cries*

Regarding finding the poop of your offspring as less offensive: this is false. (anecdotal evidence to follow, thus: I'm probably wrong, but it's fun to act like an authority, particularly regarding poop)

"homosexuals almost never are pedophiles"

My farts categorically do not smell ok.

I seriously want to make one of these. Making egg-shaped pillows isn't hard, although I'm not sure what material I'd use for the pillow cases. It'd have to be something durable and easy to throw in the washer. The outside part of the frame looks easy, too.

Without Sleep Paralysis this list is woefully incomplete.

Its interesting that some people are bringing up the concept of size. I think they meant it in a sense of weight, but I think it can deal with height too. I'm extremely short (barely 4'11'') and guys always comment on how I'm "so cute" and oftentimes at bars, drunk guys think it's okay to pick me up. No thanks, please…

Um, where is Queen Janice Ian??

I didn't even think that black people could come in the kind with boobs!?!?

Long-time reader, first-time poster. I visited Asmara for work in 2012. Thought I'd share a few photo memories. One note about Eritrea: It's a state very much under government lock and key. Pictures were a bit tough to finagle, as our minders made sure we only took photos of innocuous buildings or parts of town. …

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…
