Playmobil debate →
Amazon.com never ceases to amaze me. In my recent quest to find the most amusing reviews ever I found this item, whose reviews show the frustration we all face when going through the TSA. Worth reading.

The Land Speaks
Haiti growls. A strange rumbling sound is heard periodically in the southwestern part of Hispaniola; locals liken it variously to the noise of “a heavy wagon passing over pavement, of thunder rolling in the distance, of dynamite exploding or of cannon being fired off, of water falling on dry leaves, of the wind blowing through high forest trees in a tempest.” No one knows what causes the sound,...

The most expensive book on Amazon →
WTF seriously? The thing is 125 pages. That’s more than $100,000 per page. And what does amazon have to say about the story? “A look through the eyes of a teenager, and the moments that fade as the sparks fly, in a town of so much irOny. ‘hi, I’m Kelly…’” That is the worse description of a book I;ve ever seen.

A Dry Town
In a small midwestern conservative town, there wasn’t a place to get a drink for miles around, so a local entrepreneur saw an opportunity: He started to build a tavern. Liking a “dry” town, the local church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. The businessman was polite when congregants came to protest, but work continued on the tavern. ...

Top tens
I am an avid stumbleupon user, but the overwhelming amount of “Top 10’s” is getting ridiculous. I have at least seen 50 pages telling me which was the best movie of the decade, what the beast album was and so on. I am tired of those. And that’s what grinds my gears.

The home of The Colber Nation →
I love Colbert. I think he’s one of the funniest people on television and he’s now in HD. A bunch of clips are worth checking, in particular the anti-gay ads, and how he loves Glenn Beck.

Fun story
The Cat in the Hat uses 225 different words. Dr. Seuss’ publisher, Bennett Cerf, wagered $50 that the author couldn’t reduce this total to 50 in his next book. So Seuss produced a new manuscript using precisely 50 words, and collected the $50. The book was Green Eggs and Ham. Happy new year :P
