Overachievements in marriage
This headline, "The 6 Greatest Overachievements in the History of Marriage," is kind of confusing, but it's about people who married way above them and then saw it not work out. Which sounds all class-snobbery, but when you read it, you don't feel that way. My favorite is the first one, which tells about how Princess Margaret got totally cheated on by Antony Armstrong Jones. And I'm a royal watcher, but I just had no idea what was going on there. He was conceiving children with other women? Having flings with men too? And had an enormous...um, just read the article.
Cracked.com is an amazingly good humor site, which is funny because I always thought of their now-gone print magazine as the poor man's MAD.

Laugh of the day
I love reading Drew Magary's Funbag on Deadspin every Tuesday. He answers random reader mail and just generally writes with wit and style and a lovely self-deprecating humor. (Read his book, "The Postmortal.")
But in today's column, the best line came from a reader: "Who do you think is the last President of the United States to actually kill a person with his own hands - and not just order some random individual in a country ordered to be bombed? Who am I kidding? It was totally Nixon."
HA!

We discover the dictionary!
I love Rifftrax shorts, but this one is especially hilarious: "We Discover the Dictionary."
As Mike, Kevin and Bill point out: "As far as discoveries go, “Discovering the Dictionary” probably ranks down there with Columbus “discovering” America in terms of least impressive feats. First of all, the dictionary, much like America, was already there the whole time. It was just sitting on teacher’s desk, gathering dust. Second, much like America, people were already using the dictionary before these three idiots found it. In fact, it’s hard to argue that anybody could “discover” the dictionary when it’s in fact a book created by other people."

Vending machine woes
Oh, I love this.
"A lot of history in this row," said Ingersoll, twisting a key to open the large display door and refill B3's coil mechanism with Kit Kats. "Back when I was getting started, you wouldn't even think about putting Kit Kats in B3. In those days, it was always more of nougat slot. But then again times have changed."

Doll ward
This bit from Deadspin cracked me up. You don't even wanna know how long we spent untwisting wires from Christmas toys.
Excerpt: "Speaking of Barbie dolls, every Barbie doll you buy is fastened to its box with about seven hundred very small gray wires. You'd think the doll was a fucking psych ward patient, they're so determined to hold it down. These gray wires exist in virtually all toy packaging now, and they have begun to ruin my Christmas every year. NO MORE GRAY WIRES!"

Brotherly love
I get a kick out of Passive Aggressive Notes regularly, but this one made me laugh out loud. Especially the bit about the "crotchety hermit" and how they're siblings.

Damn you, AutoCorrect!
Damn you, AutoCorrect!
I've dealt with this so often that I have thought about turning AutoCorrect off, but I've also heard that once you do that, you realize that you actually do appreciate when it gets things right.
