I just read about this over on Gawker and it’s pretty cool. This website analyzes your writing and lets you know which famous writer you write like. Apparently one of my recent blog updates reads just like the writing of Chuck Palahnuik. Sweet, huh?

Despite its humble Amish origins, the town named Intercourse, in the great state of Pennsylvania, is infamous for having the most suggestive town name in America. However, American city names ridden with innuendo and weirdness certainly aren’t rare. Here’s a few of what I consider to be the best/worst/weirdest town and city names in the [...]

The Teacher’s Lament
You have some time today, I see.
Your teacher’s canceled Chemistry.
My class won’t start till three-thirty.
And would it okay with me,
Since there’s some place you’d rather be,
You ask, I hope, facetiously,
Whether I would mind terribly,
If you skipped my class and left early.

Monty Python was satirical in a timeless way, which is why their Crackpot Religions sketch is (unfortunately) just as true now, if not more so, as it was back then. Now of course we have Scientology, and I cannot help but wonder what Crackpot team would have to say about that:

My curiosity having been piqued by President Obama becoming the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, I turned to my beloved Wikipedia to find out how many other U.S. presidents have won this prestigious award. Jimmy Carter won it in 2002 for his diplomatic work, but only two other sitting presidents have won the [...]

You might have to be an English teacher to truly appreciate this one. In an attempt to transform soon-to-be former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s incoherent mess of a speech into something resembling “publishable shape,” the editorial staff over at Vanity Fair Magazine subjected it to the red (not to mention green and blue) ink treatment:

Sorry for not updating in what seems like forever. I’ve been pretty busy with work and life and honestly didn’t have anything worth posting on my mind. However, this story posted over on The Local is just too good to pass up. That pesky Jesus just keeps messing with (stupid) peoples’ heads. This time his [...]

Earlier today I was simply blown away by Susan Boyle’s performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” on Britain’s Got Talent. It’s something that has to be seen (and heard) to be believed.
Meanwhile, in my neck of the woods four lads from Borlänge, Sweden (never to be outdone by the Brits) treated the audience of [...]
