Do Hispanic and Latina mean the same thing? →
Read the second to last paragraph which exposes who the real first hispanic supreme court justice was. I will give you three hints: 1. He was also the first something else on the court. 2. He has a law school named after him. 3. His name rhymes with Renjarin Mardozo.

675 is my best so far…i will certainly beat that, but wanted to get everyone involved
Woman sets craps roll record in Atlantic City →
This is a bad article, because time has nothing to do with craps. A better record would be total rolls, or points hit, or money made, or hard 8’s rolled. The time itself is meaningless because she could have taken 20 minutes between each roll…(courtesy of HereIGoAgain)
Btw, LargeCanine, were you there for this?

“The truth is, this kind of thing happens all the time — usually with wedding rings or cellphones,” he said. “People have probably been getting their hands stuck in toilets as long as there have been toilets.”

Bakersfield dad accused of biting out son's eye →
This demonstrates two important tenets: 1. Honor they father (by letting him bite your eye out) and 2. An eye for an eye (not sure how, but it had to do with eyes)

Jon Gruden joins Monday Night Football team,... →
This is great news for football fans. Not because I love Jon Gruden, I am sure he will do a fine job. But because Tony Kornheiser was absolutely miserable as a host. Love him on PTI, but that is where it ends. He ruined MNF last season and this is a welcome change.
Great Game →
This game is available as an iphone app, and I really liked it when I played it, so I found it online. I actually think this version is much harder than the iphone one. On the iphone after only a few tries I was able to get like 65 or something, on the computer my high score is only 44. See if you can beat it.

Is My Marriage Gay? (not mine, but the author's) →
This is a really fascinating article showing the paradox of trying to legislate gender. Interesting analysis of how Texas was actually the first state to allow gay marriage. (To find out why, read the article). Basically, it boils down to the fact that gender can’t be defined 100% of the time and so deciding who can marry whom is totally irrational. I very strongly suggest that everyone...

Dougie’s Express Closing Today Today will be the last day that Dougie’s Express will remain open. Kosher-NY has confirmed that, come Monday, Manhattanites will no longer be able to order a burger and a Diet Coke for lunch. Although they will not be handling small orders, they will still be providing take-out catering for Manhattan from Dougie’s Teaneck. This was the last...
WatchI am back in America after waiting out H1N1 in the hills of Florence. Here is a video I have been waiting to watch for a while, but didn;t because I hadn;t seen Benjamin Button yet. But thanks to Alitalia and the great in flight entertainment on the way home yesterday, I could now watch this video without fear of spoilers and really enjoyed it.
