It’s All a Matter of Perspective
The best thing about this article is how every item ends with an exclamation mark. I felt like I was reading a Batman Comic! If you were ever interested in how to easily make your hearing more acute or improving your memory in one easy step before bed the article is definitely for you(!). I’ll be trying out the advice and will let you know how it goes, but from past experience #9 is a load of crap.
Are you hankering for an explanation why somebody named Mark is more likely to be more popular with the fairer sex than someone named, oh, Fred? Wonder why Alexa conjures up more exotic fantasies than Wanda? I always thought it was because I was fat, dumb, and ugly, but there is an actual working thesis as to why this is. Thank you author of this article. You might have taken away a legitimate beef with my parents (so-called genes) and replaced it with something I can really sink my teeth into scientifically (phonetics). And that, my friends, is spending quality time with your computer!
80’s Stars and Coaching Comparisons – Steff, king of high-school power elite from Pretty in Pink = USC coach Pete Carroll? How come I never realized this before?!?! I do think that the guy from Cobra Kai got a raw deal here, though….
Dutch Troops’ ‘Tude Helping Afghan Poppies Bloom? – Those Dutch have an interesting perspective on politics, but I find myself a little giddy that it always seems to be drugs that are their hot button. Hey, it’s better than perpetuating the slave trade.
I’ve decided that I am now a Buddhist. Why? You can’t seek enlightenment while sitting in rush hour traffic, that’s why. Here is a nice little ditty about why Buddha’s ears are so long. (Hint: It’s not because Buddha was trying to show his support for ending Apartheid by not buying gold. I was wrong in this assessment, but it seemed Buddha-like. Right?)
I was doing some career earnings research and was completely unglued by what I read here. Every time I dare to dream….
Most people don’t believe in spending money unnecessarily and this article is for them. What I learned is that you should never, ever, order the special at a restaurant on a Sunday.
How We Get Addicted is a long read, but it’s always nice to read articles that allow you to place blame on anything but yourself when it comes to your actions. I’m not saying that an addicted person might or might not have a genetic predisposition towards that addiction, I’m just saying that it takes three weeks to form a habit. Or break one. This is why I haven’t kept a regular job in years and I accept FULL responsibility.
My Simpsons love has always been a bit tempered by the fact that Matt Groening was brutal in his treatment of the Broncos. This article does a nice job of listing said episodes.
I had a friend who disappeared for weeks after the death of Kurt Cobain. My friends and I searched high and low for him convinced that he went to Seattle to be a part of the festivities there. It turns out he was spending time in the two places we would never look: In Class and at the Library. In other interesting news from lives and deaths of Rock and Roll icons, I remain somewhat confused how awesome this was as a way to die.
The NAACP continues to try to remain relevant by holding funeral services for the N-Word. I hope it works better than the time I tried to get the fellas to stop calling me “FiFi” by holding a funeral for the nickname. It didn’t work and I doubt that this funeral will either.
Do you know why Canada’s greatest export is entertainers? Now you do.
Whatever what anyone might say about the human rights situation in China, they do know how to deal with the true dregs of society. I mean, this guy was taking payoffs that lead to people dying in his country! America could learn a thing or two from this…
Zach Braff’s 10 Easy Tips for Writing Films About Twenty-Somethings®. I loves me some formulaic writing. It is the product of years of reading comics.
