I was making a tuna salad sandwich and it occurred to me that the weirdest way to commit suicide that I could think of is to eat canned tuna every day until you get and eventually succumb mercury poisoning.

I ran out of prescription drugs over a week ago, for the record.

Quick Zdeno Chara story: He’s in Ottawa, and he comes off the ice, and TSN’s Darren Dreger is waiting to interview him on television. Dreger isn’t 6-foot-9, so he gets a crate to stand on. Chara shakes his head, no. Why, he is asked? “I’m not a freak show,” Chara says. “I’m a hockey player.” Dreger nods, pushes the crate to the side, and cranes his neck instead.

I don’t want to take away from the main point here, but I quite enjoyed this comment: “Whose pocket do I need to grease to have this cross-posted to Jezebel?”

This sinkhole in Philly is just confirming everything I already knew about philly

did it throw up on you at a baseball game?

It looks like it’s full of weird fluorescent water, but it’s actually day old Yuengling.

While we’ll never know for certain if any chants of a racist nature did or didn’t rain down on Leroux out west, Canadian soccer message boards since then have given insight into some of the questionable Leroux chants supporters have conjured up in the past — one of which takes aim at Leroux’s “deadbeat” dad for “leaving” her.

“He doesn’t love you,” the chant finishes.

Whether the above chant was used in Vancouver remains a mystery, but it was featured on prominent Canadian soccer message board, The Voyageurs.

Uhh… Isn’t saying that saying someone has a dead beat dad is racist, racist?

Project Loon looks to use a global network of high-altitude balloons to connect people in rural and remote areas who have no Internet access at all, help fill coverage gaps for areas that can’t be served profitably by existing providers, and rapidly connect people after disasters when existing infrastructure has been compromised. By trying something new - a network of Internet-equipped, high-altitude balloons that travel the stratospheric winds - we hope to bring Internet access to everyone.

I take back my sarcastic remark one post back. IT IS A GOOD DAY FOR SCIENCE. This is cool as hell.

A woman in Seattle who believes she can live on air, sunlight, and water has decided that she should eat food after all, and has stopped her social and spiritual “experiment.”

It’s a good news day for science.

Melissa Etheridge said she wouldn’t call Angelina Jolie’s decision to undergo a preventative double mastectomy a “brave choice”…

“I’ve been cancer free for nine years now and looking back, I completely understand why I got cancer,” Etheridge told the Washington Blade. “There was so much acidity in everything. I really encourage people to go a lot longer and further before coming to that conclusion.”

This isn’t insane at all.

The best yearbook quote ever.

In his application, Mr. Smirnov also included results from Canadian Hearing Society tests for his abilities in sign language: 9.2 out of 10 for expressive skills (analogous to “speaking”) and 9 out of 10 for receptive skills (analogous to “listening”).

In November, Mr. Smirnov’s application was refused. An immigration officer was not satisfied he met the official language proficiency requirement.

In democratic Canada, bureaucracy deafs you, bro.
