Snow, Daily View, 12/5

Wow. It's December and suddenly we have snow. Snow in New York is not like movie snow, or midwestern snow, or anything resembling what snow should be. I'm convinced that snow in New York actually falls from the sky brown and smelling of piss. Sigh. I'm not quite mentally ready yet to find myself in the middle of the city with a runny nose, jeans soaked to the knee, dirty slush blazing a trail up the back of my coat, and a face paralyzed into a crone's mask by urban winds. Woo.

• The New York Times actually has an article about how Wikipedia is not always a reliable source of information. No shit.


• Apparently you can refuse to let the piggies search your bag on the subway: here's how.


• Latest intriguing/disturbing/bizarre spam subject line: "Have comb be penetrative".


• Rumor has it that Brad Pitt is legally co-adopting Angelina Jolie's children. Can't wait to hear what Maddox has to say about it in his blog Automaddox, which hasn't seen a new word in a while but still makes me laugh. Maybe it's the mohawk, but I have a soft spot for wee Mad.


• After a rare dose of TV this weekend, I now know about the existence of Humanzees (though this is a Wikipedia link, so don't go using this info to write your term papers or legal briefs, dumbasses), animated vagina cams (though this link isn't to the actual program viewed, because the Discovery Channel's website SUCKS), and feral children. I swear, if I actually had cable at home I would never leave my damn apartment!


• The Ricky Gervais Show is now up and running via Podcast! I hope it's funny...


• Love this anti-Sony grafitti—any rhyme that features the words "I'll teabag a mime" shows the promise of brilliance.


• Thank you, Gizmodo! Finally someone else agrees with me that the Jimi wallet is total crap.


• I am not a huge fan of Christmas. This Tate Modern tree of gloom is right up my alley, sadly enough. Love ravens. Love trees. Hate Christmas. Why cant' the pagans take this holiday back already?


• Why do so many people hate the word "moist'? George's mom on Dead Like Me, all these random ass Threadless people... baffling.
