Haha... Not really relevant, but it reminds me of the time I used rubber bands to confirm that my soda was being pilfered in the break room. I would roll down the rubber band to match the top of the fluid. Of course, the "thief" wouldn't notice that. When I saw that the beverage line was lower than the rubber band, I…

No, you see, their process is to look at the pictures and say, "Oh, that one looks rather phallic... Bingo! We have a winner!" and dismiss all other pictures.

I agree that it's more of a reveal than a twist, but I had to watch the trailer to see what you meant about the twist being obvious. I'm SO glad that I hadn't watched the trailer before I watched the movie. I don't think I would have enjoyed the unfolding of the movie as much if I had seen the trailer.

Yes. They can't stop all the spam thanks to Gawker's burner accounts. Dammit.

Brilliant! I'm off to invent a dog who loves the taste of dog hair!

Far from foolproof. I have struggled with names all my life, and this doesn't work for me... unless that's the only new person I meet during that hour, perhaps.

Yes, but depending on where they live, parents may need to be prepared to defend their actions to CPS (or the local equivalent). I knew a nudist/naturist family in Wisconsin who felt constantly scrutinized, as if CPS was looking for just one misstep so they could come in and "rescue" the kids.

Oh, yeah. If possible, I play it over and over and over and over and over and over in my head. Gives me great sleepless nights.

I don't park in a garage right now, but I'll say that this is one of the more brilliant tips posted here.

No, that's too calm. More like: "Baah! Bababaah! BAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

Oh, if only the rest of the internet (including me) had your self-filtering skills!

Do you have a different definition of iconic than I do? I've never seen a chair like this in my life. Well, I guess my life isn't the perfect measuring stick, but still...

One step closer to scramble suits!

The rule survives because it keeps many students from writing fragments* (for the same reason, I also tend to discourage students from starting sentences with 'because'). Whenever it comes up in my class, I explain the reasoning, look at some examples, and jokingly tell them that they can start sentences with…

Huh. While I was at it, I noticed that my password iterations was set to 1. The recommendation/default is 500. Higher is apparently better, but you might be set to a lower number if you have an old account.

Ha! You're lucky you didn't get every ticket he could think of, including the newly busted tail light that was perfectly fine when you parked.

I was taught to keep my hands on the steering wheel so the officer(s) don't have to worry about me trying to pull something. My father, however, recently revealed that he actually gets out of his car when pulled over (he claims this was the norm he grew up with in Germany).

No, I'm afraid they were right. I recall the news clip showed people plucking (candy) marshmallows off of some bush and then they showed them for sale alongside strawberries in the same type of plastic baskets. I looked up to my parents with glee, wondering why I never saw them before in the produce aisles, and they…
