It will be found in Dubai….
You see, they built this man-made island for rich people to occupy…

Now think about what will happen to that island if sea levels rise.

I don’t have any half-crazed rantings to spout yet today. Enjoy this 24 second clip from one of the best animated TV shows ever made.

In my school district Junior High school was 7th and 8th grade only. My 7th grade science teacher was a (possibly) bipolar ex-hippie who often acted like she would love teaching if not for the students.

The star of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus thanked Ricky Robinson, who found Bello’s shiny foot-high, 6-inch-wide contraption Friday night outside a restaurant on Manhattan’s West Side.

My affinity for the hot dog stand is a well known fact. I commented this weekend that I have all of the Portillo’s Hot Dogs locations memorized. It may have been perceived as a joke but it was actually a boast. Hell, I even wrote the Wikipedia entry for Portillo’s when I noticed that they […]
