Thank goodness the work week is here so we can relax...

Wife Chart

How does your wife rank?

This is the first page of a 1930s chart used to give couples "feedback" on their marriages. I wish they had the whole list up... but I'm sure my wife would rank as "Very Superior" regardless. [full story]

Another blog that's just way way way better than mine.

Just photos of dads with their babies -- with their heads swapped.

Give a Man a Fish.

Something a commenter posted on the Freakonomics blog the other day struck a chord... He referenced the popular saying:
Give a man a fish, he'll live for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll live forever.

The post got me thinking more about the analogy as it could be applied during all this Recession talk, and prompted me to try a Haiku Redux of that same saying...
Give a man a fish...
because he was just laid off.
Was a fisherman.

Maybe one of you more skilled in the ways of Haikus, limericks, etc., will come up with something better. :)

"Boomerangs In Space!"

So how does a boomerang work? Should this be confusing? An airfoil can produce lift without air? (Bjorn feels like an idiot as Lou points out that the dude is INSIDE the spaceship, so there IS air... Bjorn finds spaceman's boomeranging skills impressive nonetheless.) Discuss.
