Stacy Snyder completed her degree program at Millersville University “satisfactorily” but has not been awarded her bachelor’s degree and teaching certificate because of a photo posted on her MySpace page. In the photo, taken while Synder was of legal drinking age, she is shown sipping from a cup in a pirate hat. [The Smoking Gun]

I should take a cue from Dr. Vino’s great “36 Hours in New York City for Wine Lovers” post when telling people what to do when they’re in town. There are a hojillion things to do in the city, but tailoring a short stay around an interest or hobby is obviously smarter than just pointing [...]

For just $7.50, you can own an 8 by 10 of this picture of a man with his champion 425 lb black sea bass that, if the picture can be believed, he caught with a pole.
It looks less ridiculous in the larger versions, I promise, but I didn’t want to take up the whole screen [...]

Cardinal’s Josh Hancock Dead

St. Louis Cardinal’s relief pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in a car accident early Sunday morning, which makes this article about the worry of his teammates when he was late to a game just days earlier sort of eerie. [WSILTV.com/STLToday.com]

Clips: Scissors Cut Glass

Apparently the water soaks up the high-frequency vibrations that would cause the glass to shatter, allowing you to cut glass with just a strong pair of metal scissors.

Can’t say I’ve ever bought anything from these folks, but I like the cut of their jib: “The Simple Leaf” is a pleasant-looking site that educates you about the tea you’re ordering, from its history to a Google Maps mash-up showing its origin. You can use their “Tea Finder Tool” to discover what teas go [...]

Knots by Grog

Just because it’s always good to be reminded this site exists: an animation showing how to tie a one-handed bowline knot. [AnimatedKnots.com]

At one point, it appears one of the digitally-inserted children is about to be anally raped by Wolverine, a sort of visual metaphor for what these Germans have done aurally to the original theme song, which was actually pretty awesome.

Naked chicks holding booze and steaming offal plucked right from a goat’s carcass—what’s not to like about the party Sony threw to promote the Playstation 2’s last hurrah, “God of War II”? Apparently the dead goat, as animal rights groups are up in arms over party guests being up to their elbows in dead goat [...]

It may seem cruel, but she’s got to have the energy to crawl across her sandbox filled with broken glass on her way to rifle training.

I just put down Timothy Ferriss’ book, “The 4-Hour Workweek,” to find myself indolent between self-loathing, ideas, and hope. The books is a challenge to reanalyze my life to achieve the goals I have immediately—or at least before a far-away retirement. While I want to disparage it to give myself an excuse to ignore it, [...]

What’s worse than cleaning out your gutters? Answer: cleaning out your gutters and then repairing them after you jacked ‘em up with your ladder. This week we came across a portable frame that slides into your gutters to transfer ladder weight directly to the house, preventing it from crushing your gutters (and pissing [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
