The 25 Most Popular Passwords of 2012 by Casey Chan Oct. 23, 2012 Though I had hoped that we, as people, would have improved our passwords by now, it turns out that we, as people, are still unimaginative and so very lazy. Just take a look at the most popular (read: the worst) passwords of 2012. They're terribly predictable. The rankings were created

I'm not a huge fan of these "things that need to go away because I don't like them" lists, but I found myself agreeing with a lot of these. Not all, but a lot. From Gawker and Josh Lewis.

It's Funny, I've Actually Only Been To New Jersey A Couple Of Times by Bruce Springsteen
When you think of Bruce Springsteen, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe it’s the heartland rock music of your youth, or the E Street Band. Perhaps you think of New Jersey—heck, a lot of people do. But I have to admit I chuckle every time I hear that, because honest to God,
I know it's a little early for Christmas crap but this one is making the rounds. I post it because misery loves company.

Before and after any given major unforeseen disaster, you’ll hear anecdotes from people who claim that their pets or some other wildlife somehow sensed the disaster and warned them in time. Reports following the massive 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami showed that the impact on local fauna was minimal. Animals sought higher ground, found shelter,

From Kickstarter: "My name is Rob, and I'd like your help to create a giant poster of every product from the ACME Corporation. I watched every Coyote & Road Runner episode, then hand drew all 126 wacky gadgets, explosives, and items that appeared in the cartoons."

I saw a George Carlin stand-up on HBO years ago and he said something along these lines:
"Everybody says 'What about the kids?' 'We need to do it for the kids!' 'Let's think about the kids.' You know what I say? FUCK the kids! That's right. Fuck 'em! Nobody worried about us and we turned out fine."
