Clemson is not my favorite team, but, by god, they are from South Carolina and I'm fer em.

 Well, here is that yellow duck I've been looking for...

The only thing a woman wants jumping out of a cake is another cake.

 But you can fall out of love also. That is a sad thing, but a very real thing.

Do not fear to lose what needs to be lost.

The games men play...

DON'T TOUCH ME! AND YOU'RE BREATHING WRONG! STOP IT!

-wives, on their period

Or if they're hungry.

Or if you are actually breathing wrong.

He takes an ancient artform and modifies it.

But did you know that there are looms that are computer controlled so that any...and I mean ANY image can be woven into a rug?

Dane writes about his country...

Well, that could explain the happiness.

I've finally found one of those toys that I modeled my dollar art piece after...

 My problem was that the rolled up bills were to large.

 And they were, more or less, spring loaded so they really want to uncurl, leaving them with much more friction than I anticipated.

But with some manipulation I managed to get a semblance of a face.

Although it does have a striking resemblance to the Shroud of Turin.

My wife never punished the dog for eating her unattended food because she does the same thing to other people.

Does your town have an area like this? If not it should.

A young woman got on the elevator with me and I said, "Are you going down?" And she said, "Only if you're taking me out to dinner." Southern girls do shit like that all the time.

Bartender asked if I had a New Year's resolution and I nodded and said, "I will not become the Pope."

I think about that sort of thing sometimes. If I had a pet that made one move against one of my babies, that pet would be gone...that very day.

Speaking of cats...

How the organs move around...

Amazing.

I find it interesting that we still make the circular motion with your hand to tell someone to roll down their car window.

I wonder how many soldiers have been killed by their own grenade. Surely it must have been rather common to catch the pull pin on a nail or twig. Any ex-Marines know of such things?

In case you were wondering what to get me for Christmas...

 A catastrophic mining disaster in Brazil is being called the Brazilian Fukushima. 60 million liters of toxic mud has been released into Rio Doce in Brazil due to negligence. The toxic mud is from an Iron Ore mine in the area. The mud is composed of Mercury, Arsenic, Lead, and other heavy metals. Rio Doce toxicity is expected to last decades and affect the 3.2 million people that live along the riverside. The river itself is expected to "die" and take all fauna in the surrounding area with it. Once in the ocean the toxic mud is expected to extend its effects for up to 100 years, drastically disrupting the ocean's food chain in a 200-kilometer radius.

Meanwhile in Australia…

Never know when this kind of knowledge could come in handy...

Not to brag, but I have the high score on 7 different blood pressure machines around the city.

Laser cut and rather impressive...

I wonder if anyone ever broke into a house and stole the alarm system.

Very similar to his Vinny clips.

I hope "citibank" is better at math than spelling.

Over the past two months, at least eight wooden boats have been found in the Sea of Japan on or near the coast, carrying a chilling cargo — the decaying bodies of 20 people

This magnificent creature was so well designed that it didn't need to evolve for millions of years.

Anyone in or near the Taco Bell on Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, South Carolina wanna help me out?

I find it so cute the way my wife keeps asking me questions like I'm listening.

He (the human) looks completely confused.

I would love for someone to ask my wife to pose just like that. I’m interested in just how much it would cost them, but my ballpark is at least high 6 figures.

Don't date a man expecting to change him. At the end of the day he'll still be a man, and you'll have wasted your black candles and a goat.

These are called ladder jacks.

They are triangular devices that clamp onto the rungs of the ladders forming a triangle from which a walkboard can be placed.
I have used them a million times. The problem is that, unlike scaffold, there are handrails. We almost always tied ourselves off to something on the roof when we had to use them.

The end is in sight.

I find the juxtaposition of sex and angel to be disquieting.

I really liked this at first...

Then I figured it had to be photoshopped.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have discovered a trackway of more than 100 dinosaur footprints on the Isle of Skye. The 170-million-year-old tracks were created by sauropods, some of the largest animals ever to have walked on Earth. 

I know I post a lot of this sort of thing, but in my opinion these sort of things are the most awesome things around.

College campuses today are changing. Instead of being a place where there is a free flow of opinion, now you are forbidden to say or do anything that might offend someone. And you know as well as I know that there is nothing that won't piss some folks off.
