Wait but why: 7 Ways To Be Insufferable On Facebook. The memory is vivid. New Year’s Day, 2013. I’m going about my afternoon pleasantly, when I open my email and a friend has forwarded me what she calls a particularly heinous Facebook status from her news feed, written by someone we’ll call Daniel. It read: 2012 was a biggg year for me. I left my amazing job at NBC to move back to Chicago. I started dating my angel, Jaime Holland. I started yoga (thanks Jake Fisher & Jonah Perlstein!). By the time I finished reading, I realized that my non-phone hand was clutching tightly to my forehead, forcefully scrunching my forehead skin together. It was everything bad about everything, all at once. But instead of distancing myself from the horror, I soaked in it. It made me think about what makes terrible Facebook behavior terrible, and why other Facebook behavior isn’t annoying at all.
A Facebook status is annoying if it primarily serves the author and does nothing positive for anyone reading it. 1) Interesting/Informative 2) Funny/Amusing/Entertaining.

Romanesco, also known as Romanesque cauliflower or Romanesco broccoli, is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. First documented in Italy, it is light green in color.

The Government has today called a halt to its proposed High Speed 2 rail link between London and the West Midlands and decided instead to spend the money on ‘moving Birmingham about 10 minutes further south’.
‘For the projected total spend of £43bn for HS2, we think it would be more cost effective simply to rebuild the whole of Birmingham a little closer to London,’ said Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin. ‘This would shorten journey times between London and Birmingham by the same amount as HS2, but would also have the added benefit of reducing the length of the M40, delivering a significant boost to the road haulage industry.’ Observers say that the planned relocation of Birmingham would free up thousands of acres of brownfield land where Walsall, Dudley and Sutton Coldfield currently are, permitting development of millions of new homes and kick-starting the construction industry.

John Wisden, English cricker, celebrated with Google doodle | Technology. Google has celebrated the 187th anniversary of the birth of English cricketer, John Wisden, with a doodle of Victorian gentlemen playing a match. The doodle recalls the design of the eponymous Wisden Cricketers' Almanack for which the cricketer is most famous for. Born in Brighton on 5 September, 1826, Wisden made his debut for Sussex at 18 years of age. He went on to become a combative cricketing all-rounder, playing 187 first-class cricket matches for Kent, Middlesex and Sussex, and earning the nickname The Little Wonder.
Wisden was also an unflagging entrepreneur who started a sports equipment business and a "cricket and cigar shop". But it is his famous almanack, which he created after retiring from the game, which is perhaps his greatest achievement. First published in 1864, a new volume of the book, labelled "the Bible of Cricket", has appeared every year since with Wisden 2013 being the 150th edition.

Rev Bem - Andromeda Wiki - The New Systems Commonwealth. I am the darkness become the lightI am the darkness become the truthI am the darkness become the WayRev Bem Biography Edit Rev Bem is a devout member of The Way religion, but he is also a Magog, a savage bloodthirsty species feared throughout the universe.
Wanting to distance himself from his barbaric kin, Rev has to control his baser instincts to kill other living beings for food, or forcibly infest them with Magog eggs for reproduction. His full Wayist name is Reverend Behemial Far Traveler, shortened to Rev Bem. Rev Bem is kind and understanding when most beings he encounters greet him with a shriek of terror and aim a weapon at him; indeed, Dylan once said that Rev was the closest thing to a savior he had ever met.
During a visit to the Hajira, a people with perfect genetic memory who were being taught the values of Wayism and faced threat from slavers, Rev Bem's genetic material was extracted by Tiama who infested herself with his larval offspring.
