“Shuffled off his mortal coil”
– First time in a while I’ve heard an expression and had no clue as to its meaning. In this sense, it means to kill. http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/319800.html

Geocities Closes After 15 Years →
I started my first website in the Fall of 1996, hosting it in the “Heartland” area of Geocities. I wish I could find a trace of it, but it contained plenty of rainbow backgrounds, animated GIFs, and a lot of information about samoyeds. Kinda sad to see it go.

List of common misconceptions - Wikipedia
Knowing that all the “fun facts” people tell you are false makes you a lot less fun to hang out with. People do not use only ten percent of their brains.  There is also no evidence that reading in dim light or sitting close to a television causes vision to deteriorate. Shaving does not cause hair to grow back thicker or coarser or darker. Hair and fingernails do not continue to...

There were two things I was irrationally afraid of as a child. One) Getting stopped by the police while rushing to the hospital and dying as a result. And two) swollowing a seed and having it somehow get stuck in my organs and grow. 2009 is the apocalypse. (via crushkilldestroy)

Dave Eggers is an amazing guy. To say he started a publishing company, McSweeney’s, and wrote several great books including a Pulitizer nominee, just scratches the surface. Here he talks about the 826 National writing centers.

Not to harp on the last Flight of the Conchords,...
J: Our story is the story of two guys who start at the bottom, and with a lot of hard work, continue along the bottom, and finally end up at the bottom.
B: It's a rags to rags story.
M: Who'd go out and see that?
J: I think I'd see that. More realistic.
M: But what if this is just the beginning of your story?
J: Then it's a slow start, isn't it?

So rumor has it, this might be the last season of Flight of the Conchords. If so, what a shame, because it only gets better every episode. This is the first scene of the last episode, highly reminiscent of my old Nickelodeon favorite, “Mr. Frear’s Ears.”
