The colossal squid in New Zealand is being defrosted and studied right now, and the lab set up a blog: http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/ While this squid is most fascinating, I can’t help but agree with this BBC dude that the catching of really weird deep-sea animals is a bad sign: it means fisherman are going further and […]
There’s this from The Root: The Democratic Party’s Nightmare
Whiskey-drinking beat gutterball-bowling today in my home state’s leisure-activity primary, proving that the Canadian distilled-spirits industry packs an electoral punch that can’t be beat. I’m pretty surprised by the results in this Pennsylvania primary-results graphic from NYTimes.com, in that I figured Hillary would probably win, but not by this much. She crushed Obama in all […]
NHL.com informs me that the Flyers just won Game 7 over the Capitals in overtime tonight, 3-2. I had to check that online because the game is inexplicably blacked out here in DC. It was a home game, so maybe it didn’t sell out. But I can’t find any explanation online, so if I were […]

I’m sitting here reading about PHP exception handling when the idea strikes me: some peanut-butter toast would hit the spot like some sort of proverbial spot-hitting device. That got me thinking about why peanut butter is an amazing product. Peanut butter tastes great. You can rock peanut butter with lots of things: chocolate, jelly, Nutella, […]
I was working my way through my weekly Economist when I came upon this gem in a story about Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh feels decayed, like Cleveland, Ohio. What a bunch of jagoffs. Everybody knows Cleveland was the nation’s No. 1 poorest city in 2003, while Pittsburgh was only 37th. Take that, haters! We’re Number 37!
Friend of the site Steve B., whose New York Islanders failed to make the playoffs and thus are not up three games to none like my Pittsburgh Penguins, writes: what do you make of this Obama/Pennsylvania thing? Well, Steve: in short, it was mad dumb and probably will get its damage on. This is usually […]
