The 10 Most Beautiful Swamps on Earth
| August 8, 2011

That truck driver you flipped off? Let me tell you his story.
| August 8, 2011
Let me tell you a little about the truck driver you just flipped off because he was passing another truck, and you had to cancel the cruise control and slow down until he completed the pass and moved back over.
His truck is governed to 68 miles an hour, because the company he leases it from believes it keeps him and the public and the equipment safer.
The truck he passed was probably running under 65 mph to conserve fuel. You see, the best these trucks do for fuel economy is about 8 miles per gallon. With fuel at almost $4 per gallon — well, you do the math. And, yes, that driver pays for his own fuel.

America didn’t invent obesity, but we brought the game to a whole new level. And that’s why we have products like the Adjustable Advantage—a toilet seat that fits any rump—and can hold up to 6 average-sized bloggers.
It’s a “heavy-duty” bathroom accessory, designed to support toileteers up to half a ton. And it’s adjustable, too, so you can have one toilet seat that fits every booty in the office. Genius? Actually, yeah. Everyone should be able to poop comfortably, and larger people have it tough enough without toilet seats discriminating against them too.

| August 7, 2011
S&P removed for the first time the triple-A rating the U.S. has held for 70 years, saying the budget deal recently brokered in Washington didn’t do enough to address the gloomy outlook for America’s finances.
