It's a sad state of affairs when...

... Pravda says more about a news story than our MSM will.
"The only thing that matters is that he refuses to produce a valid Birth Certificate and instead spends thousands of dollars on attorneys and defies Federal lawsuits and State lawsuits asking him to produce one single piece of paper that most every citizen of every nation of the world has easy and rapid access to."

It pays to fight the entropy back!

A study that shows a lot of interesting things.

E.g., a hole in a fence where there were signs stating, essentially, "Don't go through this hole" and "Don't attach bikes to the fence." Where there were bikes attached to the fence, ~80% of pedestrians would cut through the hole. When the bikes were unlocked, something like 25% cut through.

Is there disorder of some sort near a problem area in your life/home/work? Fix it and the problem may diminish.

Hmmm... I'm thinking I need to spend some time fighting back the entropy in my garage.

A modern day Tragedy of the Common(s) Teaspoon

Interesting research into the lifetime of a teaspoon in an academic setting.

Inspired by desperation and a deep need for understanding of the callousness of fellow men.

Make sure to read into the "Discussion" section.

The upside of Somali piracy

It offers jobs, self-esteem, food, commerce, and schools for the depressed country.

Me? I wanna figure out a way to guard the ships. Shoot back. Make $s.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to lead space walks.

"Despite my little hiccup, or major hiccup [letting a large tool bag drift away], I think we did a good job out there," [Heidemarie] Stefanyshyn-Piper said after returning to the space station.


A co-worker just asked: What ever happened to people just saying, "I screwed up. I'm sorry." ?

So, Al-qaida (sic?) isn't really trying to kiss up...

In a recent video, AQ's #2 guy calls Obama, Powell, and Condi "house slaves."

I guess that they don't respect B. Hussein O. very much... -- or is it just a ruse to throw us off? ;^)
