Hey! The Earth will pass through a debris cloud tonight. There will be a great meteor shower this evening and into the morning, with the peak coming at 4 A.M. EST on November 17th. Make sure you get out and see this. The storm will have an average of 20-30 meteors per hour, with upwards of 500 per hour at its peak!
An open letter to Stephen Colbert from Miracle Whip, as seen in this morning’s amNewYork:
Dear Mr. Colbert,
Recently on your show, you tapped into a sore spot in our nation’s psyche: the eternal struggle between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. And surprisingly, for a man of your impeccable intellect, you’ve chosen the wrong side. A side doomed to a painful, drawn-out, utter and complete defeat. Like the Plantagenets in the Hundred Years’ War. Or whichever on was the cat in “Tom and Jerry.”
Mr. Colbert, we found your attacks a little harsh, occasionally funny, and at times, wholly inaccurate (for the record, our target is 18-35, not 34). But unlike most advertisers who are so mayo, who would back down at the slightest whiff of controversy, and pull their advertising from not just your show but from your entire network and all its sister entities – we intend to do the opposite.
On Thursday, November 12, we will dominate the airspace on your show. With every commercial break, your viewers will be exposed to hardcore Miracle Whip attitude and revelry. You will see our legion of (as you call them) “mayonay-sayers” snarfing sandwiches topped with our one-of-a-kind flavor in a very cool and totally hip way. They will be in your face and massively dope. It goes without saying, they WILL NOT TONE IT DOWN. And you will begin to see the soft, bland white walls of the mayo empire begin to collapse under the weight of its own whipped-egg pretentiousness.
Think about it, Mr. Colbert. In a sense, we will own you.
We’re on a mission. We’re taking no prisoners.
We’re raising Hell, man.

The value in second-hand
My coworker and I got into a debate yesterday about the value of new things versus used and I thought it was an interesting commentary on consumerism in today’s world.
I wanted to go shopping for…
So it’s my parents anniversary today. My mom opened the card from my dad and said “Ah! I got this card *last* year!” She went and looked through her previous year’s anniversary cards and found that it was actually the third time she had received the same card.
I said, “You know how you can buy Christmas cards in big packs to send out? Maybe they sell anniversary cards like that. Polygamists packs!”

The immortal jellyfish (turritopsis nutricula) is immortal. That isn’t hyperbole – it really is immortal. After reaching sexual maturity, this jellyfish is able to reverse its aging process and become a polyp again.
The ability to reverse the life cycle is probably unique in the animal kingdom, and allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering the Turritopsis nutricula biologically immortal. Lab tests showed that 100% of specimens reverted to the polyp stage.
Holy shit. This is so cool
Didi: Stu, what are you doing?
Stu: Making chocolate pudding.
Didi: It’s four o’clock in the morning! Why on earth are you making chocolate pudding?
Stu: Because I’ve lost control of my life.I miss this, the original rugrats. I miss the cartoons that were on when I was younger.
