I don't think this really falls under the "infographic" category.

Brainy Smurf is way too bitchy to be Narrator Smurf. Are you kidding? Brainy Smurf spent about 5% of his time actually being brainy and about 95% of his time bitching about how the smurfventure of the day was cutting into his experimenting/braining/private time or about how the other smurfs were idiots. And he had the…

That's true. Still no explanation for Blue Ivy, North, Apple, or any of those other insane names coming out of Hollywood.

It really depends on where in Virginia you're moving to. If you're moving to NOVA (Northern VA), you'll be fine. The rest of VA... well...

No, it is true. There are no laws preventing parents from naming their children anything they want. Blue Ivy, North, Apple, and Blanket for examples. That's why this story is interesting (and also stupid): because the judge does not have the legal standing to order the child's name changed.

No, I said, "I feel like if I had a choice between buying my daughter unweildy plastic "dress up" shoes that don't fit her feet or well-made shoes that fit, I'm going to go with the latter." The latter would be well-made shoes that fit, as the word latter refers to the second, or something nearer to the end. If I had…

I feel like this is just natural—little girls have always wanted to be "big girls" and heels have been a big girl accessory for at least a century. I was never particularly into dressing up as a child (too busy reading books to bother) but I was constantly catering to my little sister's desires to dress up—when she…

You're just renting until you pick up the package. It's not like a PO box.

Even if you had a PO box, Amazon wouldn't deliver to it. Amazon uses a courier service (usually Lasership, but sometimes UPS) and courier services cannot deliver to PO boxes. The only thing that can be delivered to PO boxes is USPS mail.

To answer your question about who goes to the beach alone: lots of people who enjoy the beach? I think it is perhaps more common with people who live close to a beach. I live very close to a beach (5 mins walking), and often go out just to enjoy the water for an hour or so and I see a lot of people by themselves,…

She lives in Florida. The metal plates over the windows are hurricane shutters. They are extraordinarily common, considering the amount of tropical storms and hurricanes we get.

I would disagree that all writing is self-indulgent. Writing, after speaking, is the main form of human communication. While I think it's true that there are writers who write because they are conceited, I think there are many more writers who write because they have something to say, because they have a message,…

It is possible to have only a two-part name. I taught in a girl's middle school in Korea for two years, and had a few (three, I think) students (out of the entire school) with two part names. So, rare, but not impossible.

It says "pretends to be interested".

eShakti has a lot of 50s inspired and retro stuff. Plus they do customization. I love that the most about them. The wait time is a bit long, but, for custom stuff, I don't think too long.

A wide belt is not going to give you that smooth, neat look (like all of these models). A corset or girdle is needed, unless you are already quite trim through the waist.

A "subordinate position, as all students must necessarily be"? Are you serious? I hope you're not an educator, because that is a fucked-up view of the student-teacher relationship at ANY level, but definitely at the college level where the relationship is adults teaching other adults.

I guess that would kind of depend on your end-goal. Make friends? Find your soulmate? I use it mostly passively nowadays. I log in a couple of times a week and check and see who's looking at my profile or messaging me. I don't bother with anyone below a 70% match rating or above a 15% enemy rating. If they pass the…

I might have given him a chance if he was gay positive on the other questions, but I might have weeded him out for other things, like smoking(?? I'm not sure when exactly he quit, but I don't date smokers).

A tutorial on using OKC questions?
