Lefthandedness Being left-handed is like being in a secret club. We have our own bizarre initialization rituals, such as learning how to write "the wrong way." We pay our dues every day, in terms of the extra effort that we must make to live in a right-handed world. When we encounter another lefty, we immediately have something in common. For fun, I started making a list of the aspects of everyday life that are geared towards right-handed people. We have to use special "lefty" scissors. Back to Lucas' writings.

Bacon Wrapped Media - 11 Funny Facts I Learned From The Movies For More Fun Movie Facts, Click HERE About the author: Prasad View all posts by Prasad Joyride: How to steal fuel in broad daylight What happens when someone tries to steal fuel from a car's tank in public during broad daylight? Logic says passers-by will tell them to stop, and have-a-go-heroes will be morally obliged to stomp their heads in, but logic doesn't always translate to reality. We discovered this first hand recently when, returning to one of our cars, we found the tank empty. Someone had taken the liberty of siphoning the entire tankful of petrol and made good their escape, leaving us stranded, incensed and questioning our faith in humanity. We figured if it had happened to us then surely it must be happening to other people. So we set up a social experiment to see what the public reaction was to petrol theft -- particularly the brazen sort that happens in broad daylight. We began our experiment just around the corner from Picadilly Circus and Leicester Square. For our last test, we upped the ante. Did the public respond?
Why Disney Princesses Are the Worst Role Models EVER All_Is_Mal has a little problem with the Disney role-model model. Pitchforks up or thumbs up?–Sparkitors I really, really detest Disney princesses. Prince: Wow, check out that unbelievably stunning girl! Princess: Oh, look! Prince: I love you! Princess: Really? I don’t hate the princesses as people—they’re all really kind girls. Pretty Nice Hair Waist Smaller Than Head ARGH. No Growth: There is not a princess out there that learns, grows, changes, or progresses over the course of the story line. Superficial Standards: The only reason that any of the princesses get a happy ending is because they’re gorgeous. Misconceptions of Love and Happily Ever After: Princess stories repeatedly advertise love at first sight. The Eternally Passive Princess: All of these girls have skills, and I firmly believe that each one of them could have escaped their undesirable situations without being saved by a man. Disclaimer: The reinvented Rapunzel from Tangled is actually a good role model for little girls.

SCHOPENHAUERS 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it.

Rosscott, Inc. & Archive & The System 472: Road Sage UPDATE: The Quirky Nomads Podcast has made this comic into a radio production! More info here » ALSO: Now avaiable as an 11×17 print! Check it out here. This is a followup to one of the more popular comics in the archive, famously featuring “figure out purple”. Hitting conflict in the face with more conflict never seems to help, as both sides immediately identify the other as the enemy and shut off any ability to listen to reason. I’d like to point out where this comic starts, “when someone yells at you from their car”. UPDATE: Thanks for all the love on the comic! You can also buy this t-shirt about biking:
