More People Should Read Mental_Floss

I love +Mental Floss.  I can't get enough of their blog, their magazine, and even their Twitter feed, which gives us nuggets like this:

Hide the Women!

Looks like that crazy, Irish uncle that nobody talks about anymore went and got himself a hardware store.

I have no idea how I got on this mailing list, but this catalog came in the mail earlier this week.

There are so many things that impress me, here:

1. The corporate logo seems to be McFeely himself holding a large screw.
2. McFeely went and put himself on a dollar bill, and one can use said dollar bill to pay any shipping AND handling costs that may be incurred while making any purchases.
3. McFeely is clearly a huge proponent of square drive screws (hard to miss from the cover shot).
4. www.mcfeelys.com is somehow a legitimate website.
5. www.mcfeelys.com/screws is still, somehow, a legitimate website.
6. Even www.mcfeelys.com/tech/screw-index.htm ... totally PG.

Time To Reevaluate My Priorities

How happy are you when you go grocery shopping? I bet you're not as happy as this guy: youtube.com/watch?v=vC8gJ0…

Maybe I should expend less energy remotely encouraging or discouraging professional athletes and spend more time reflecting on the scientific marvel that is a cheese doodle.
