The 6 Most Frequently Quoted Bullsh*t Statistics | Cracked.com: 5:41am 2 reviews internet, urban-legends, myths •http://www.cracked.com/article_16241_...; From the page: "If at any time in your life you've had food in your hand near a swimming pool, you've heard this myth. You cannot swim until you've waited at least 30 minutes."
Most of the 6 myths outlined in the article I've heard, and, sadly, believed, but this one about swimming really bums me out.
I wonder how many hours of water time this cost me as a kid.
I remember the agony of waiting and waiting as I slowly roasted in the sun on the beach.

The Oreo invades Britain | csmonitor.com: 12:25am 1 review uk, cooking •http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0513/p2...; From the page: ""Milk?! A biscuit dipped in milk? Who does that?""
I had a helluva time finding Oreos here in Ireland and this was exactly what my Irish husband said to me when, after securing a small package, I told him how they're eaten.
His response? "I'd rather have it in tea." Bleccccch.

Nations Slicked-Back-Hair Men Rally Against Negative Hollywood Portrayal | The O…: May 12, 8:29am 1 review humor, satire, the-onion •http://www.theonion.com/content/news/...; From the page: "Even though men with this hairstyle comprise just 3 percent of the U.S. populace, they make up nearly 80 percent of all film and TV villains, bad guys, and just plain assholes. As a result, thousands of men who enjoy wetting their hair and then combing it straight back face a silent but pervasive form of discrimination every single day.""
I've known men - good men - who liked a handful of product to give them that "tamed, still-wet" look; let's stop the prejudice!

The ultimate ethical meal: a grey squirrel | Food and drink | Life and Health: May 11, 11:32am 2 reviews cooking, squirrels •http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/f...; From the page: "It's low in fat, low in food miles and completely free range. In fact, some claim that Sciurus carolinensis - the grey squirrel - is about as ethical a dish as it is possible to serve on a dinner plate."
Curiosity does make me wonder: how many servings do you get out of one?
How much does it sell for per pound?
Can you grind it up, like cow, buffalo, and turkey?
I did find a page devoted entirely to squirrel recipes. Yikes.

I'd love to have seen this.
