Robert Reich on the Seven Biggest Economic Lies

A really moving ad from Switzerland

Go the fuck to the library!

The folks at Rethink Breast Cancer are aware that sex sells. (Ladies, be sure to wait for the "credits" to roll....)

I haven't tried this yet: How to peel a head of garlic in less than 10 seconds.

Very funny: The Clinton Foundation Celebrity Division

Apparently "adult" movies are often set in classroooms; this site analyzes the mathematical equations shown on the blackboards.

Newly hatched baby sea turtles!

There are many Bad Lip Reading gems; I got a kick out of this one. (No, I won't type her name on my blog and attract any Google hits here.)

I love this reunion photo of the cast members of The Princess Bride. (Peter Falk and André the Giant are gone, so they appear only in framed photos, and "Fred Savage didn’t show up, probably because he’s a dick.")

David Foster Wallace tells his Harper's editor a thing or two.

And, finally, a reminder that I'm giving away my Blockbuster Express movie codes—I've had very little response thus far, so you're almost guaranteed to win.

:-) I probably am in the library 3 times a week. I volunteer at the senior library and then other days I'm picking up reserved books or taking back the read (and unread) books. Love the library!!
