The Forbes Index
Everybody loves lists, no matter how pointless. There's apparently an index for cost-of-living for single folks using the really important statistics: How much does a Heineken cost? Pizza Hut?
Tow Yard Complaint (MP3)
[via Eel]
When I worked for OmniStar, I never had to field any calls like
this! The woman claims to have found a large piece of excrement in the back of her car.
Badass Australian Cows [via Lex]
There are tons of lessons in this story, ranging from how not to try to trip a cow to why you shouldn't get drunk enough with Danes to want to try.
Why I hate Microsoft: A personal, lengthy, but highly articulate outburst [via Pierce]

As True Today As It Was Back Then
Pete has some great tips on how to keep young suitors away from your daughter. I'll have to save this and use it if I should need it some day.
Observations
The first time I ever met my father-in-law was on Dec. 31, 1999.
He showed me his impressive case of guns, which rifles were already loaded, which handgun he was most accurate with, where he kept his rubber bullets, etc.
But he wasn't trying to scare me away from his daughter. He was showing me where things were in case of Y2K.
Or so he said... =)

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
