It's stories like this that make me want to be a ninja, sneaking around third-world countries and putting down the guys who do this sort of thing, and the guys who let them get away with it.

Umm… The Indiana Historical Society can't claim copyright on images in the public domain, kids. I'm gonna have to say "What the… what?" here. The photo was taken in 1936, so the only copyright would lie with the photographer, in my estimation.

Gaiman fans suggest ideas for T-shirt homages to his work. If you want a one-stop destination for choice quotes from his books, here you go. Cool stuff.

It's about time this double standard gets addressed. I routinely opt out of seeing movies where larger men are cast against skinny actresses – I have trouble suspending my disbelief at the idea of Seth Rogan as a romantic lead, and choose to spend my entertainment dollar elsewhere.

your best one, send it to us, and we'll use them to make a giant mosaic.

If you have to create drafts for twitter… well, then I guess you should you this app, you stupid mutt. In fact, this should probably be required for all twitter users. That would make twitter lots less annoying. But not quite enough to make me go back.

If I were drown 183 times in a single month, I'd pretty much tell you anything you wanted to hear. Although I'd just give up and drown part way through, because why the fuck go on living if this the life you have to lead?

A list of why people become great at managing others. Comparing this to managers I've had both good and bad, the list stands up well.

I have some real jems in my photos of the Indianapolis tea bagging (to come soon) but here are some lowlights from a national standpoint.
