    Only thing worse would be if Fox News sided with EA on this and then did a story about how the ending of Mass Effect 3 was the best ever.

    Michelle Duggar says the entire world's population could fit in Jacksonville Florida:

    Michelle Duggar, star of TLC's reality show, "19 Kids and Counting", says there needs to be more children because our world needs more joy. And as for overpopulation? That's just a lie, Duggar recently said in an interview. "The idea of overpopulation is not accurate," Duggar says, because the entire population of the world could fit inside of Jacksonville, Florida. --"I agree with Mother Teresa when she said, 'to say that there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers,'" Duggar said.

    Lately my outrage is about how difficult it is to convince my granddaughter to graduate from high school. This used to be a no-brainer. Now morons like Snookie become millionaires on reality TV and I look like an idiot because wasted my time doing science and engineering. "But science and math are so HARD!" Just to clear up teenage slang: HARD means anything as difficult as defrosting a bagel. Now I'm really OT.

  20. This means nothing to me! on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 1

    I drive a 40-year-old car. Holding my hands in a certain position is the least of my problems, but usually they are at 9 and 3 because the steering wheel spokes are at 10 and 2 and each hand ends up an hour off when you hook your thumb. With +3 wheel fitment and no power steering, you have to hold on!
