Man Realizes He Wasted His Life Listening To Bullshit
02/28/11 -- Hilarious
“During an unexpected moment of clarity, open-minded man Blake Richman was suddenly struck by the grim realization that he’s squandered a significant portion of his life listening to everyone’s bullshit, the 38-year-old told reporters. A visibly stunned and solemn Richman, who until this point regarded his willingness to hear out the opinions of others as a worthwhile quality, estimated that he’s wasted nearly three and a half years of his existence being open to people’s half-formed thoughts, asinine suggestions, and pointless, dumbfuck stories. “Jesus Christ,” said Richman, taking in the overwhelming volume of useless crap he’s actively listened to over the years. “My whole life I’ve made a concerted effort to give people a fair shake and understand different points of view because I felt that everyone had something valuable to offer, but it turns out most of what they had to offer was complete bullshit.” “Seriously,” Richman added, “what have I gained from treating everyone’s opinion with respect? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” w/ photo

The Earliest Version Of Monopoly
02/27/11 -- Pretty Cool
“The earliest ever version of the board game Monopoly has sold for a whopping $123,000. The set was one of 5,000 made in 1933 by Charles Darrow, the purported inventor of Monopoly, and is the only one to have survived to this day. The dog-eared set is made out of a piece of oilcloth and is in the form of the original circular shape that is 33 inches in diameter. Heating engineer Darrow drew and coloured in the playing surface using pen and ink and made the little hotels and houses from strips of pine wood moulding. He also devised and wrote the rules of the game – a carbon typescript of which was included in the auctioned set. Despite its round shape, the design and format is almost identical to the 275 million Monopoly games that have subsequently sold around the globe. It has 28 properties, including four train stations and two utility companies, three chance and three community chest spaces, two tax squares, and spaces for go, free parking, jail and the dreaded ‘go to jail’. There is no value on the spaces but they are colour-coded just like today. The original game is based on the streets of Atlantic City, U.S., but it proved so popular that the London version was produced just two years later.” w/ photos

“Chandeliers are arguably the most grand form of lighting around. Big or small, dazzling or rustic, they draw the eye up and add interest to the space below.
