  1. Explanations at http://pleated-jeans.com/2011/01/24/the-united-states-of-shame-chart/
  2. Check out the image above. Doesn't seem like much, does it? Maybe someone snapped a picture while the lens cap was still on. Take another look. On closer examination, the picture resolves into four bands of light. Check out the band farthest to the right. Look about halfway down. There is a small dot, brighter than its surroundings. It isn't a speck of dust, it isn't a smudge on the camera lens or on your monitor. It's us. It's all of us. It's Earth. In 1990, at the request of famed astronomer and broadcaster Carl Sagan, NASA sent a command to the Voyager 1 spacecraft, on its way out of the Solar System, to turn its camera in the direction from whence its came. The above image is the result. The picture is frequently referred to as the "pale blue dot", and provided both the frontispiece and the title for one of Sagan's most celebrated books, published in 1994. Sagan himself, as was his wont, expressed its significance with an eloquence to which most of us can only aspire: From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Look again at that dot. [...] On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. http://news.discovery.com/earth/pale-blue-dot.html
  3. Eh, I totally disagree. Not so much bad driving there. It's obvious there's a slick sheet of ice under that dusting of snow. The best snow driver in the world doesn't have a chance when your car is sliding down a hill sideways.
  4. Assuming Tuxedo Guy is 6 feet tall, that Great White has to be about 85 feet long.
  5. LOL at the Cash 4 Gold and Malibu Barbie skull (Australopithecus spiff-arino) letters...
  6. Kinda cool - dad takes a picture of his baby girl every day for 10 years. Watch Natalie from birth to 10. ejbNVWES4LI
  7. Authentic Superman costume made of fire "retarded" materials.
  8. Pretty sure it is. The wheels get knocked off when the guy clubs it, then magically they are all reattched. Fake.
  9. Don't mess with old guys on the golf course 3AevLJAog0A Edit: pretty sure it's fake.
  10. Neil Young (or is it Jimmy Fallon) and Bruce Springsteen (yes Bruce Springsteen) cover Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" KpxZwbPcA38
  11. Wow. What a clutch win, powered by the young guys. This team is developing some character.
  12. My guess is pepper spray balls - they're like paint balls filled with pepper spray. Anway, I give him a B minus for his outfit, D plus on his technique.
  13. Go to Google Maps Click on Get Directions Type Japan as your starting point Type China as your destination Check out direction #43
  14. A first grader girl drew this picture for a class assignment: Bow-chicka-wow-wow. After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note from her mom: Dear Ms. Davis, I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel. Mrs. Harrington
  15. I love SorenB's reviews. Comedy gold.
  16. It takes 30 minutes to drive to Home Depot to buy a circular saw.
  17. Tiger plugs a photographer at the Ryder Cup. NOT photoshopped. The shot hit the camera. Tiger mis-hit the shot, and sent it headed for the crowd lining his approach. Edit: The guy on the right with the cigar does look photoshopped!
