Top Ten Myths about Iraq, 2008 →

Dear Team Aniston!
We saw this coming about a fortnight ago, didn’t we? I mean, even if that was guilty of the usual, justifiable Photoshop concerns, it was still amazing that it came more than a decade after this. We never stopped thinking she was hot and it looks like we never will …

Study: Teens Who Skip Breakfast Lose Virginity... →
bowlingalleylawyer: Skip breakfast, lose your virginity? Oddly enough, that’s what a new study finds. That explains everything. My failure to get laid in high school was clearly the result of my commitment to the “most important meal of the day.”

No possible way
To justify spending $225 on a seat with an obstructed view. But that was all that was available (oh, unless you’re counting the option for $325 on a “limited view” as well) by the time I got out of the waiting room for tickets when the newest batch went on sale at noon today. Thanks, but no thanks.
