If it weren’t for the slow loading rate of this website, I might have read all of them but I have things to do. There is my own list of women that I was surprised was not on this list.
Still, I laughed out loud and clapped my hands with glee when Angela Lansbury crossed the screen.

Despite the craftsmanship behind generations of timepieces, your classic 12-hour watch has a pretty arbitrary method to display the time. Time isn’t circular. It may have a repeating pattern, but 1 p.m. today is different to both us and the larger universe than 1 p.m. tomorrow.
How’s that for an opening? Well, that’s only the beginning of a silly argument for making a really fun looking clock.
Although I have never been able to get into the metric system myself (I just don’t have the patience to learn a whole new system), I would totally own one of these things simply because it’s so dang cool. Telling time on a literal linear line is clever – but mostly, the clock is cool.
Hat Tip: Co.DESIGN
This popped up in my Flip Board the other day and I made a mental note to post about it. And then promptly forgot. But, I just gotta say that they do not make TV shows like they used to anymore.
As a kid, I never realized how many “famous” people made guest appearances on this show. But, as a kid, had I realized it I probably wouldn’t have cared a jot. Just catch the Joker, Batman! And please just kiss Catwoman already?!

What side of the brain do you use?
My Score: 43% Left. 57% Right
You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed.
Huh.
Go get yourself categorized and generalized by a machine that cannot possibly take into account every variable of your life. Although, I will admit that mine is creepily accurate. At least, all my professors tell me I’m illogical and meandering on a regular basis.
I cut out the professions the AI thinks I am best suited for, because they were stupid. ‘nuff said.
Suddenly, my life is incomplete until I have one of these things. It mixes my two favorite things: Star Wars and notebooks. Now if it only came equipped with a star wars pen and one of these really cool bandoliers, and I could die happy. Buried with these things, of course. For use in the after life.
The Egyptians had it so right, burying their people with all the essentials for the world beyond. And a notebook w/ pen attached is essential for me always.
I don’t know how I didn’t know about this website before but thanks to a certain friend (You know who you are) I have been goofing around this place almost always when I have a moment. So, yeah…hooked like a fish. It’s funny stuff – if some of it more than somewhat odd, offensive, or unbelievable.
As a thanks to my “friend”, here’s the link that started me down the path to the Cracked side. See what I did there? I’m hilarious
Happy Leap Year everyone! Hope it is/has been an unusual and extraordinary day.
Disclaimer: I don’t own “Leap”, Norman Rockwell, or the Saturday Evening Post. I do, however, own your attention for this brief period in time. How’s it feel to be owned!?!
Go to any Google search engine and type in “let it snow” without the quotation marks. Enjoy.
I love a good video game as much as the next nerd brought-up-in-a-household-of-mostly-engineers-and-so-raised-on-these-things, but this seems a bit like it’s reaching.

Now that’s what we call a good tail – er – I mean tale.
it’s no surprise that Pusuke — a fluffy, tan Shiba mix — made headlines nationwide in that country when the pooch -– the world’s oldest dog, according to Guinness World Records -– died this week at the age of 26 years and 8 months, after falling ill and refusing to eat…The dog’s owner told reporters that Pusuke’s condition took a sudden turn for the worse early this week. The dog did not eat breakfast, a first, and died quietly, surrounded by Shinohara and her family.
"I was with Pusuke for 26 years, and I felt as if he was my child. I thank him for living so long with me," said, Shinohara, 42, a housewife.
It’s also no surprise that Pusuke -– who lasted a human equivalent of well over 100 years -– lived in the nation with one of the world’s oldest populations…
So, apparently, if you want your dog to live a long time, you need to uproot yourself and move to Japan, where they obviously have a miracle-life dog food. I do not know what they use in the production of their food, but I would like a couple tons of it please.
Last December, Pusuke made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest living dog, breaking the previous record of 21 years and 3 months, according to the Daily Yomiuri newspaper
I’m just saying, there is something to said for man’s best friend for sticking it out that long. I hope they allowed the little guy to pass on those amazing genes and continue the genetic advancement of dogs everywhere.
But, for the Japanese, the true story of “Man’s Loyal Companion” is still held by Hachiko, who waited for his master every day at the train station until his, the dog’s, death…9 years after the death of his master.
