Hey Future Me, Keep it real. Love, Past Me.
If you’ve ever seen one of the Back to the Future movies, you’ve wanted a Delorian. Unfortunately, the flux compassitor has yet to be invented, and Marty McFly moved on to sitcoms. However, I do have the next best thing! FutureMe.org allows you to send an email to yourself, to be received at some point in the future. How else would we communicate in this digital age? If...

Riddle me this....
This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Thank goodness!
My first roommate is a vegetarian. My second roommate is a pescetarian. My third roommate buys natural and organic. I like Doritos. I’m obviously the redheaded stepchild in the group (or red fingered after a delicious, crunchy nacho-cheese flavored snack.) It’s not that I am void of good intentions. I drop good intentions like Glenn Beck drops the word “oligarchy.” Which...

Observational Humor That I Stumbled Upon Whilst...
Neil “Casual Business and not vice versa” W. says: I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. Nothing sucks more than that moment...

The Award-winning Worst Sentence of 2010
The Bulwer-Lytton award is given annually for the worst first sentence of a novel. This one took the prize for 2010: “For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss — a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s...
