This alley is safe!

Whew!! Good! I hate garbage-picking speed humps! They're scary!

Big Brother Is A Pervert

I'm sorry, but do we really need up to the minute reports on where JonBenet Ramsey's supposed killer is? "He's in a Thai prison's custody. Now he's in U.S. custody. Now he's on the airplane. Now he's in the bathroom taking a squirt!"

No disrespect to the Ramsey family, but WHO THE FUCK CARES?!?

Lebanese children are dying every hour. Thai girls are being prostituted, raped and killed by other men like this one every day. Chances are, there are children starving right now in the city where you live.

Not to mention that there are several parents out there right now caking makeup on their young daughter's faces and dressing them up like a My Little Pony crack whore to parade them in front of drooling judges and masses of people just like this Karr guy (who is probably now seeing his in-flight movie, in case you missed the latest update). Insecure parents trying to make up for their inadequacies by dressing their children up like some kind of fetish mannequin.

This guy is caught. He's in tow. He will be dealt with. I don't have too much faith in our legal system, but I do know that they won't look favorably on a pedophile child molester murderer.

It's taken care of, people! Can we move on, please?

Archimedes ate his Wheaties

Because I am an insufferable nerd who thinks mathematics is one of the most interesting faiths in the world, I find this article about scientists uncovering lost texts of Archimedes simply tingly.

Please promise me you won't forward this link to Dan Brown. I don't want to spend the next three years overhearing conversations on the bus about how Archimedes was "mad smart with numbers and shit."

Now we need one of these for bikes.

HopStop is a fantastic public transportation/walking point to point directions website. Now we need one for bikes. I suppose you could use the walk only option and just bike that, but I want something that takes into consideration all of the construction and/or bike lanes. Anyone know of anything like this?
