So you've talked to your children about how they have to be careful around strangers but even though they're scared you make them go sit on a strange man's lap?

That was super neat.

I especially loved the body language of the diver. They were sooooo excited!

I've certainly never seen time this way and I can barely visualize what you guys are talking about. But I'm probably not alone in wishing that I did!

As a professional librarian, I would be embarassed to offer a pregnant woman seeking information on pregnancy and childbirth books such as the one pictured. (Which is why when I go into work tomorrow I'll make sure I don't have a copy lurking on my library shelves!) It is not book burning nor censorship when librarians remove outdated books. There is only so much room on the library shelves and books that are outdated, falling apart, or are not receiving enough use are "weeded" to make room for the newly written, up to date, or more popular books.

That doesn't mean that there isn't a place for some of these books. Many larger public libraries, university libraries and the Library of Congress keep many older, outdated books for the purpose of historical significance or tracking societal trends. Most public libraries are not archives. They do not have that mission nor the space or funds to do so.

I double checked and she is the last Titanic survivor. She is not only the oldest living survivor she is the only living survivor.

Just because I know how to drive a car doesn't mean that I would be able to suddenly take over a semi-truck and drive it down the highway.

That's just the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Amazing.

My 9 & 5 year old boys were pretty delighted with the crazy drinking straws. I don't think the racing grannies would have gone over nearly as well!

Couldn't this really be considered their hobby? Some people choose to spend their time and energy tracking sports teams, some play mindless flash games online, and some people go to what many of us consider extreme looking for ways to save money. If that's how they want to spend their time - I say go for it.

I'd never thought about cutting the lotion containers open. I wash out my ziplock bags and reuse my paper grocery bags to get the 5 cent refund. I'm sure these are things that other people feel are a waste of time but are habit to me.

I absolutely want to see a picture of the "warehouse". I have visions of a giant light industrial type complex with workers on Segways.

A camo wedding seems pretty practical. You can reuse all of your decorations come hunting season.

That was very cool. Thanks.

Yeah, this one doesn't come off too great with the rather offensive to transsexuals lead-in. You have to get into the article to find all the weird but true and amazing things about Minnesota.

And I'm sure that the reason transsexuals stay in Minnesota is the reason that many other groups stay. We have lots to offer. Great educational opportunities, a vibrant arts and culture scene, recreation around every corner, low crime, low pollution, friendly people, great libraries. The list goes on and on.

I thought the Light Saber Umbrellas were neat.

Those were hilarious. I enjoyed them quite a bit.
