I look at her blankly for a moment, and go, “Yeah, it hurt a lot, but you know…”
It’s her turn to look blankly back at me....

I’ve never seen a picture of the Jersey Shore cast before. Yahoo had a featured article on them, so I’ve now been exposed. My God, Snookie (Snookey? Snooky?) really does look like an Oompa Loompa!

“I read articles about astronomy and physics. It doesn’t matter to be [sic] how much I understand. Their buried message is always the same: Somewhere out there, or somewhere deep inside, there are mysteries of which we perceive only vague shadows, and there are possibly more mysteries within those shadows, continuing indefinitely”

“I don’t like using this word to describe people, but—Obama’s an idiot. He wants to give the Libyan rebels weapons?! Why don’t we take out Gadhafi’s forces and hand him over declawed to the Libyan people so they can have him tried and they can kill him on the same day if they want. It’s stupid to give people weapons who have hated us for years and years....

What the CAT scan saw: A medical drama story
The ENT walked into the room with his nurse assistant and immediately said, “Very interesting X-ray results…Very interesting. How are you doing?”
To which I replied with a panic-stricken, “I…uh…” This was it. He was telling me I had cancer. I was going to die. I could see myself in a hospital bed recovering from chemotherapy as “Get Well”...
Fart lighting →
bestofwikipedia:
