ohyeahfacts:
For this reason movies often use different songs (which are not in copyright or are owned by the studio) for birthday scenes. AOL Time Warner earns over $2 million per year from royalties for the song.

Another reason that greed is the cancer of humanity. Not cancer - cancer is the cancer of biology. This is worse, and I don’t care if I sound crass in saying it....

Robot thinks people taste like "bacon" →

“When a reporter’s hand was placed against the robot’s taste sensor, it was identified as prosciutto. A cameraman was mistaken for bacon.”
Oh no. This is how it starts. Soon they will be harvesting us for our tasty, tasty flesh.
Not even funny, yo. Our only hope is that all robots convert to Judaism.

Tonight
Travelling to Toronto to see Stephen Wright live. Since he’s probably going to sense me in the audience because we are sorta kindred spirits, does anyone have anything they’d like me to ask him?

So maybe you’ve heard of this Internet thing, where a lot of people get their music for free and only sometimes get busted by the RIAA - big time. Anyway, the bottom line is that less money is…

Dean Martin - Once In A While
This man will forever remind me of my mother. I say that like she’s passed on, but she definitely has not. Regardless, I can literally not hear Dean Martin and not think of her.
We entertain family and friends at our house fairly regularly, but especially on certain holidays. St. Patrick’s, Labour Day, but especially - the one I hold dearest, in so, so many ways in my heart -...

Wait, do people actually think this is serious?
I remember when this used to get spammed in the Collegehumor comments all the time. I always ignored it because I figured it was stupid spam, but this is actually hilarious.
The comments are indeed the best part. The most satisfying result of satire like this is the rage of the people who haven’t...

Side note: when’s the last time anyone recalls Gary Busey instilling wisdom or contributing to… y’know, anything?

Radiohead - Nude
Something about Thom’s voice at the beginning of this song. It’s an instrument in its own right. ”Ethereal” comes to mind, and I am sure there are even more kickass words for it. Eerie in all the right ways, which is one of the things I look to Radiohead for.
Part 8 in Unpopular Disgruntled Opinions

Eating only the eggwhite is stupid, unless you are part of the 10% of the population where cholesterol in your food directly correlates to a rise in blood cholesterol.
The protein in the yolk is incredibly filling and delicious, and it has been shown to aid weightloss, by promoting feelings of fullness that last up to 24 hours.
Damn straight. Most people have no...

Apple, Corp. - The Dominatrix
Somewhere along the way, a lot of people seem to have lost their powers of critical thinking when it comes to technological gadgets. Namely, it has become way cooler to like an Apple product by default than to give it a sharper look. I mean, the iPad (and yes, it’s a terrible, awful name) was just announced, and the Twittersphere seems to be divided into two camps.

See,
The thing is, I know enough about computers to know that things can be less simple than they appear. But I don’t know enough to know when common sense does in fact prevail. So I assume everything is going to be complicated until proven otherwise. I feel like Cyclops from X-Men, except instead of energy beams coming out of my eyes, it’s uncontrollable critical thinking about computer...

No, really, it’s great.
You go America. You go.
Sounds about right. Activism with no meaning behind it.
Don’t you see! There is no risk when supporting Coco. With REAL activism your life may be at risk. Furthermore, you have to actually do something when it comes to things like genocide and equality.
Good points! Someone else can do it....

my petty problems pale in comparison to this. THIS IS THE WORLD’S PROBLEM. THE TAPE MUST BE DESTROYED.
Somebody round up the Fellowship!
Perhaps the Fellowship should consist of celebrities who have also had sex tapes, for they truly know the dangers. Paris, Tommy Lee and Pamela, pretty sure there’s one involving Scott Stapp… c’mon,...

I’m paranoid that when our Tumblarity actually does come back, it’ll be way lower than I think. I have no idea how to even estimate it. I’m goin’ in blind!

Man oh man, The Onion does some good satire, don’t they? Haiti’s government is corrupt enough to literally keep its people from living comfortably. That’s some sort of impressive depressive whaddya-know.
What can we do? This problem won’t go away, and it didn’t appear with this devastating earthquake.

Something heavy to carry to bed. The best is when you don’t even know what it is. Also, nowhere is safe to vent. Nowhere in this known world, at least.
