I'm not sure, but they both have popcorn.

Huh. I read a couple that said it had to do with not wearing summer wear in the winter... and a couple that admitted they didn't know but insisted it should be followed. Maybe it's a combination of the two? Either way, kind of an odd rule that's still holding out.

I had a professor that went to Antarctica to study volcanoes. The last week of class was him showing a slideshow of the trip. 'Here's an aerial shot of the volcano we were studying! Here's a picture of the entire research team trying not to throw up in the back of a military cargo plan!'

Ah Giz. Just when I'm starting to have faith in humanity again, you pull me back from the brink with an article like this. The comments have once again crushed my futile optimism.

Okay, so after reading this comment of the day I had to go on a quest to find out what is with this white shoe Labor Day thing because even though I grew up in the south, I have never followed it or found anyone that expected me to. And once again, the internet never fails to disappoint. Cue shock and awe that…

Explanation 2: I love you so so much. And I love everyone else who gets it. Oh yes.

Of course he wouldn't mention Homeland Security when he stepped down. There's a lot of people willing to get outraged on his behalf if he's merely resigning because he's gay. Not so much for putting a boyfriend on the payroll.

Makes you wonder if he was truly appalled that his wife would send such a thing instead of merely trying to do damage control. Also makes me wonder if their marriage is going to survive.

I think we're missing a better question here. "Self-published author writes a terrible book" is not news-worthy. It happens every. single. day. There are tons of terrible self-published books out there.

So after watching the hijinks of the 'greats' recently, I've come to the conclusion that each company is going to have its own brand of evil. With that in mind, I think I'll join the cult that has the most appealing logo to me... which would be Apple. (damn, I've never owned a Mac, this might be a hard transition) …

To be perfectly honest, I wish someone had pushed makeup/shaving advice on me when I was a kid. My mother never talked to me about these things and I had to learn everything from my peers, who as you can imagine weren't very nice to the girl that didn't even know what a tampon was. I find makeup nowadays to be…

My school wasn't Catholic and it didn't even bother telling us what tampons were. And then the gym teacher would get all pissed off when once a month all the girls were sitting out for class during the swimming portion of the year.

I just want a ring that looks pretty. Doesn't even have to be a diamond. Can be a fake diamond. Money doesn't matter - just as long as it looks nice. I like wearing rings but I don't see much of a point in spending a lot of money in them, unless it's to ensure they don't turn my skin green or tarnish or the likes.

So much of what I do is automated or waiting for jobs to finish that I think I'd go insane without the internet. My boss totally doesn't care, either. He knows we get the job done and if we're sitting around watching a funny youtube video it's no big deal. Once we're done watching it we'll go right back to kicking…

So I'm part of a medieval reenactment group and we hand out artwork for awards... we find a piece of artwork and try to copy it with our own humble art skills. I need to see if anyone I know is going to be getting an award soon. This could very well best the scroll one of my friends received based off some very...…

"And it's Friday. So fuck it."

I recently reclaimed a couple old monitors of mine from my parent's house and was thinking of setting up a triple monitor workspace. Only problem is, the big monitor takes about ten minutes to warm up and work. It's a flat-screen. Is there any way to fix it or should I just abandon my dreams and stick with two…

My fears about not hiring someone with a disability for safety reasons is that it is too easy to use as an excuse to not hire someone because you don't want to hire someone with a disability. The majority of people with my disorder are unable to work and a good number of them were told they were a safety risk. And…

"And that it's only when the parents of those children jerk them away, as if he's some freak that shouldn't be approached, that he gets offended."

Or even a 'how folders work' would be awesome. I keep trying to use metaphors but my mother just is not grasping the concept of folders. "They're like boxes! You put things in boxes!"
