Altoids, lots of 'em
I was shopping at Costco yesterday and I gave in to temptation: I bought a dozen tins of peppermint Altoids. Well, they were really cheap--$1 a tin--and I do like them. I have them here in the office and they'll last, too. I'd love to be able to buy ginger Altoids in bulk, too, but these will definitely suffice.

Catalog Living
Last week, I posted an article about UnhappyHipsters.com. Alyssa Fox pointed out a similar (and equally funny) blog this afternoon: Catalog Living. Catalog Living is a new blog from Molly Erdman, a Los Angeles-based actor, writer, and comedian. Here's an example of what you'll find on the blog:
"After achieving his life’s work of balancing the wicker ball on the radio, Terrence carefully removed his hat and went for his final swim."

Repost: Drowning doesn't look like drowning
This is vitally important information to know. What we think of as drowning from TV and movies isn't anything like what drowning really looks like.

Futurama opening captions
I'd always wanted to know what all the Futurama captions were and now I do. Someone's taken all of them and done a video mashup with the Futurama theme in the background.
Of course, now that the show's back on the air, who knows what will happen?

Repost: 6 slacker behaviors that are good for you
Cracked.com has really fascinating and funny articles. Here's one worth reading: it's about six different behaviors that are actually good for you, such as smoking weed (which appears to prevent cancer and Alzheimer's), sleeping in late (ensures you're getting enough), and wasting time on the Internet (which keeps your mind alive).

Very interesting piece of art. It's a city made with 100,000 staples.
