I had a friend in Russia who was supposed to be drafted into the Russian army, but he failed the psychological exam for smiling too much. He was just a genuinely happy person, but in Russia, that was considered insane.

I think that hamster might be related to mine.

They may have been conceived at the same time, but they're still the equivalent of fraternal triplets. They are the result of three separate eggs and three separate sperm, so they are no more closely related than any other sisters. It's not like they somehow separated out one of a set of identical triplets.

One of my friends died of cancer last month (at age 26), and her friends are still gathering at her facebook wall and posting things they remember about her and messages for her. It sometimes feels weird that I'm facebook friends with a dead girl, but at the same time, it's a nice way to remember her.

I've done a lot of work in data entry, and in some databases, we had to use caps lock. And this was not in the 80's. It was like five years ago. But no one does data entry on a laptop anyway. I wouldn't miss it at all on my laptop.

I'm from Minnesota, so I'm well familiar with lutefisk, and it is an abomination. But how could he forget the British tradition of serving brussels sprouts for Christmas? On a day when you're going to be locked indoors with your family for several days straight, the British fill themselves with a vegetable that, even if you are one of the rare people who actually likes them, will make you unleash farts that will peel the paint off your walls. No matter how long I live in the UK, I will never understand brussels sprouts for Christmas.

Craig, I take it you've been to Russia? Cause you're not wrong. You can still see bits of text in the toilet paper. And the toilets are awful. There's a little poop shelf to make sure you can see and smell everything before it almost kind of flushes down, if you're lucky.

Hooray! Nerdfighters FTW! DFTBA!

I'm a freelance editor and proofreader, so most people think I'm going to be a grammar nazi, trolling the internet to find sentences ending in prepositions. I don't. If you're a troll and you annoy me, I'll correct your spelling and grammar to make you look stupid. Otherwise, I will only put the smack-down on your grammar if you're a paying customer. Which is why I consider myself a grammar dominatrix, not a grammar nazi.

Several years ago I actually got charged because along with a book I sent a short note. Like a single piece of paper. They charged me the cost of mailing a regular letter. Did they do a cost analysis of how much they collected vs. how much they paid people to sit around opening packages? Seems stupid to me.

Is it supposed to be fun and ironic that grammar is spelled wrong in that image?

My sister-in-law's parents were un-divorced for about 15 years. Her dad was abusive and had anger issues, so her mom kicked him out for the good of the kids. But she still loved him and they never divorced, even though mom lived in Illinois and dad lived in California. Now that the kids are grown and dad has gotten some counselling, the two of them are living back together.

It's not all jokes about his disability. Best line in the video: "No Atlantis is too underwater or fictional." Nothing to do with his CP. He's just genuinely funny.

Guinea pigs are known for eating their own poop. It is a common way of extracting all possible nutrients from food sources like hay.
