But only if it starts by referring to a nonexistent comment by a nonexistent commenter.

When the skin on the sides of my nails (lateral nail folds) gets really dry, I'll rub lip balm into them every morning for a few days. Works pretty well.

Get rid of all your lip balm and drink more fluids. (Chapped lips without an external cause such as wind is a sign of dehydration.)

Unless, of course, you're trying to use aversive reinforcement to train yourself to stop ripping out your hangnails. ;)

That works fairly well because we Americans are told that the best answer to "So, what country are you visiting from?" is actually always "Canada."

Nor would he have needed a boat.

A tidbit of advice I recently heard: When choosing between the two, always guess NZ. An Aussie will just laugh it off if you're wrong, but someone from NZ will be pleasantly surprised that you're right. If you guess Australia, though, and are incorrect, the New Zealander will be pissed at the assumption. Bottom line:…

Perhaps that is all true enough, but in the case of Ze Frank's "facts", the adjective is worth including.

I won't go with the names of agencies to determine my terminology, or I'd probably be recovering in the hospital from the consequences of calling people colored (NAACP, anyone?). Last I heard, "Eskimo" is definitely not acceptable.

Huh. That's what sticks out for you? Interesting.

On a related note, the new "Make me Racist" app will be released soon. When you launch it, it goes back to the Play store and downloads the apps in this article.

Here in Nevada, a STUDENT taped HIS OWN mouth shut... and the teacher got in trouble. When kids joke about taping their own mouths shut (because sometimes the habit of blurting wins against the genuine desire to stop interrupting) I feel silly scolding them for the thought, but I'm sure as heck not going to get in…

Seoul Sister's right, and I'm a bit disappointed that this article is so much better (read: filled with much more indignant rage) than the one at Jezebel. Go figure.

Seriously, I can't be the only one wondering what the hell the deal is with that key? I mean, why is there a key in the medicine cabinet? I need to know!

I'm not a big fan of Gervais, but that's damned funny. And apt.

Then I guess you're not "most people."

Yeah, I like the idea, but I'm trying to figure out how it'd work for me, too. Where would that money come from? Savings, I suppose, but then I'm just pulling away from my long-term goals in order to spend on my short-term pleasures, and I'm rewarding myself a la a slice of cake after a long run. More specifically,…

Most people could find a surprising amount of "extra" money if they got rid of their Netflix subscription, canceled their magazine subscriptions, stopped eating out so much, spent a little less on clothing, stopped buying so much music, laid off on the app buying, etc. I'm about to finish a monster debt management…

When I was a kid, my mom trained me to always look in that bin of dented goods in the back of the store. Years later, I came across a dented can in a random grocery store and asked if I'd get a discount on it. The clerk looked at me like I was mad. "Why? There's nothing wrong with it!" Um, yeah. I know that, and you…

Ah, thanks for posting that. The other list didn't have anything listed for my state; this one does.
