Odds and Ends (7/26)
Miscellaneous articles, images, videos, and links from the nooks and crannies of the Internet.
BrooksJarosz.com: We’re still hoping that this is actually some college career center’s example of what not to do after graduating. Tip to CollegeHumor.
From CollegeHumor.com: The sad thing is that this really isn’t that much of an exaggeration of the “logic” behind “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
From the New York Times: Have you been nostalgic for Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and “Clarissa Explains it All” recently? Yeah, neither have we. What the hell is this article talking about?
NoLOLinHIV.org: This public service campaign has been running television spots with the slogan “there’s no LOL in HIV,” which is true, but were there really that many people LOL-ing at HIV in the first place? We also like how they equate being young and hip with not being able to spell.
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters: The “sequel” to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Why couldn’t they just have stopped while they were ahead?
The Wikipedia Vandalism Blog: They keep track of humorous vandalizations of Wikipedia articles. Pretty straightforwardly awesome.
From the Wall Street Journal: Democrats are statistically more likely to support the designated hitter.
On Facebook: Forget Dick Cheney and Nancy Pelosi; this is the best party ever!
From Mashable: Carrier pigeons for Twitter—carrier Twigeons?
The Manhattan Bridge Sways: Time-lapse video of the Manhattan Bridge wobbling as subway trains move through it. Tip to Gothamist.
