I wonder if when the person in that corner office dreamed of having a corner office they forgot to also ask for one without a giant Wave’r Guy.

The bag says to pull the bag out of the microwave when we only hear one or two pops a second. That means these remaining kernels withstood all my microwave could dish out for a little over 2 minutes and still not pop.

Big props, tough little kernels. Big props.

Amazon isn’t technically dominant, but it pervades our lives

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is already a huge part of many people's lives. And its $13.7 billion deal for the organic grocer Whole Foods will likely bind its customers even more tightly. "It kind of feels like they're taking...

Told you it was coming.  Now people think Amazon is too big.

My wife wants to name our next kid Gotham. That way if he wakes up in the middle of the night, she can roll over and say, "Gotham needs you." I mean, how could I not respond to that?? She'll never have to get out of bed again...

Watching some Stanley Cup action with Nashville and St Louis. Wife sees a player named Vladimir on Nashville's team and says: "you can't hijack Russians and say you have a hockey team." Genius.

ATLANTA BRIDGE COLLAPSE: 3 charged in connection with fire that led to I-85 collapse

Three people are in custody, according to the state fire marshal's office.

I’m looking in the story for how a section of an interstate collapses.  Here’s what I found:

Basil Eleby, 40, has been charged with arson in connection with the fire.

Statements from the couple he was with, now charged with only trespassing, say they were with Eleby to smoke crack and at one point watched Eleby "place a chair on top of a shopping cart, reach under the shopping cart and ignite it."

So. . .lemme get this straight:

Dude smokes crack -> while high lights a chair on fire -> I-85 collapses.

How about instead:

Dude smokes crack -> while high lights a chair on fire -> ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER -> I-85 collapses.
