Will, that tatoo link is bogus. There was a bit of discussion regarding this link yesterday in Gene Weingarten's chat on the Washington Post website (you should check out his weekly chats by the way. Hilarious!). Anyways, said "wife" is wearing the same blouse in both pictures and is also wearing her wedding ring in the boy-toy picture. So the pictures were taken on the same day and in probably the same grassy location. I don't think it's true.

There are recipes for that cake that use a ball of ganache in the middle (like a truffle), so it depends on which way you want to go. My absolute favorite is "Chocolate Stuff" from the Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love. Here's just the recipe - but it's much more fun to read the book:

Sarah, thanks, I'll check it out. Meanwhile, the very "Sears portrait studio" nature of the photos gave me pause, but since the tattooed guy didn't seem very angry I thought there was a chance that they actually did all show up for pictures.

What's the best guess on the real story? That kid's her son from another marriage, right?

Hold the tab buttun when watching the neon bible and you will see all the clickable links!

I think the LOLCats are a rather silly, but since I'm unable to resist clicking links you post (except the ones flagged for not while at work), I had to try it. Leviticus isn't the funniest one in the batch, though. Genesis 1 made me laugh so hard that my co-workers thought I was hysterical.

The Pultius remote reminds me of Candy Buttons. Instead of chaning the channel, you pull them off and work off the sugar because you have to get up and change the channel yourself.

"Citizen journalists" might better be called villagers with torches--at least in this situation.

Re: the Transformer costumes...wow. That is definitely cosplay taken to a new level. My question is, if human beings can contort themselves into these different positions without apparent physical injury, why can't we make machines that do the same things? I only ask because let's face it: a military that looks like it came out of "Robotech" would be really cool.

On the Smoking Gun Report - I can't believe they put IT under "Personal Effects". Also I spent the afternoon cruising wikipedia learning about my Hematopoietic system. Who knew there were that many kinds of bone marrow!? Or that it was its own "system".

Ok, I know this is rather morbid, but one part of the autopsy caught my attention. For most of the report various organs were listed as "unremarkable." But the spleen was "grossly unremarkable." I couldn’t help but chuckle. What can I say; even amazingly banal oxymorons are funny.

I've seen the 'worst ride ever' on YouTube. The YouTube video said the ride was part of a contest to perform the most rolls on the ride & was purposely longer than usual to break the record.

That Joker picture gave me chills!!! Let me see that movie NOW!!!!

The oddest part in that autopsy report was that the pathologist used the term 'dildo' instead of something more clinical like 'plastic vibrator' or 'personal sexual stimulation device.' Dildo either has a more complex meaning than I'm familiar with or the pathologist just revealed a comfort level with the term he may not have wanted people to be aware of!

Wow, those are amazing cosplays! (The Transformers costumes, I mean.) It must've been really difficult and had taken a long time to make.
