Try Hard With A Vengeance
So, a few days ago I was commiserating with a workmate about the year ending and the year ahead and it was not a happy conversation, folks.
On a global level we have evil, greed and incompetence operating at staggeringly high levels. Politics, religion and business — the three pillars on which we’ve constructed our civilization [...]

La. Village Drops 666 From Its Number
It’s taken 40 years, but this southwest Louisiana village no longer bears the mark of the beast.
Beginning this month, residents and businesses can change the first three digits of their phone numbers from 666 — depicted in the Bible as the mark of the beast — to 749.

I’m not making this up, people.

Green on Thursday #46
When they’re 6′4″ tall, rock the facial hair — rock it hard! — and are in possession of one of the finest noses on the planet, we can overlook the occasional missteps of the lightweight television series in which they star. When they also complete a particularly potent Celebrity Math equation, well, see for yourself:

Sucker of Time and Soul
This photo was lovingly crafted specifically for Glark.
Pain
I know from pain.
There was that time I had all four wisdom teeth out, and they had to actually break the teeth and part of the jawbone in which they were planted, just to get them out with dental pliers. Of course I was unconscious and anesthetized, but that only lasts so long, right? No [...]
I know, right?
