So as we wait, my stepfather had his bag checked. We were found guilty of cookie smuggling in the Chocolate and Oatmeal Raisin degree with a prune bread misdemeanor. But nothing...

Massive Design Flaw: Inaccessible Hotel Room
Scenario: You book two suites at the Sheraton. You leave through the connecting internal doors. Meanwhile, you have pressed the little internal lock button on your door the night before wanting privacy as you sleep.
I go about your day and enjoy Arizona. I return to your room around 10:30 to find you cannot get into your room. I go to the front desk and get new keys. The person at the desk says...

squashed:
Slippery slope! Sanctity of marriage crumbling! Disturbing literal representation of cultural objectification of women!
Or, alternatively, Japan is weird.

Vimeo Sued By Capitol Records Over Lip Dubs →
zachklein:
I roared with a belly laugh when I read this headline. Could Capitol Records truly be this misguided? Do they not realize that if you were to sort Internet brands by those most emblematic of creativity — not piracy — that Vimeo would line up at the top?
