Today's sign of the Apocalypse: Now you can't say "rape", among other offensive words, during - of all things - a rape trial.

Some of history's most famous photos are collected in one spot here; it's pretty interesting to look through.

I've heard of parents naming their kids, among other things, "Stealth," "Female," and "Shithead". This one is in that league, although I'm not sure if it's for real...

responds to the news in her zip code.

And finally, this article makes the seemingly startling revelation that (da dum da dum da dum da dum) beach sand is more deadly than sharks! That's right, over the last 17 years 16 people have died in sand accidents in the US, and only 12 people have been killed by sharks. But when you think about it, the writers are idiots. That's like saying that walking into your kitchen to get a glass of milk is more deadly than aliens with heat-ray guns - I'm sure someone has been killed sometime getting some milk, but I highly doubt anyone has ever been heat-ray exploded. Same fallacy - millions of Americans play in beach sand every year, while very few come anywhere near a shark.
