From the first two pages of today’s Nashua [NH] Telegraph: A firefighter in Concord was commended after saving the lives of two children in a trailer home. He explained that he drove by and saw smoke pouring out of an attached shed, with the father of the children attempting to extinguish it with a garden [...]

This comic was pretty funny, and the age/2 + 7 formula got tossed around a lot by my roommates. Of course, it gives us the minimum age one can date without being creepy. At 22, it’s [(22/2) + 7], or 18. (I, however, maintain that this discrepancy would, in fact, be creepy.) But what about [...]

Rusty and I were just talking about the recent decision by the Democratic party and how we’re going to count delegates from the two states, which has left both sides somewhat unhappy. But then we kind of realized that no one is talking about the real issues? I don’t particularly care how we seat delegates. [...]

…I’d try to arrange a meeting of all the major candidates, in front of the media, where we all pledge to stop this crap. (Obama himself commented that he knew Hillary meant nothing negative, but that after such intense campaigning, he knew exactly what it was like to slip up and say something that sounds [...]

News sites keep adding comment sections, but for some reason draw users who post comments more absurd than those on Youtube. Take this article as an example, about how a decorated military nurse was discharged after commanding officers found out she was a lesbian. The court ruled that they couldn’t dismiss her solely for her [...]

You know those times when you decide to let yourself surf aimlessly? And an hour later, you have absolutely no idea how you got to where you did? I found the K0S Strange Antenna Contest page from 2003, where some ham radio operators started using, well, strange things as antennas. Who’d think that a ladder [...]

I don’t know why, but I find these absolutely hilarious. Since I haven’t given it out in a while, this guy gets HERO OF THE DAY.

I frankly don’t use AIM that much these days, but will often sign on and think, “Wow, lots of people are on tonight!” or, “Wow, almost no one is on tonight!” So I just wanted to list my thought process after noticing this: I’d be interested in seeing a graph of my “buddies” online over [...]

Can you guess the state? Recently had about 100 students arrested, and several fraternties banned, after a massive drug dealing operation was busted at a state university. Recently became the second state in the nation to give homosexuals equal rights. Recently had 2 arrested at another school for selling body parts on the black market. [...]

I’ve always been a little creeped out by some of the stuff on Craigslist. There’s pretty obvious prostitution and drugs going on, in addition to people seeking affairs. And if you read through the “personals” section (which is pretty entertaining), watch out for ones with pictures… Something they’re, uhh, graphic. So I went through about [...]
