Did you know that one day, there was a NYTimes Crossword Puzzle that had two correct solutions? The clue itself read "Lead story in tomorrow's newspaper (!), with 43A:" At the time, of course the election wasn't decided yet, so you could fill out the crossword depending on who you thought would win and and still fit with all the other clues.

See more about what the other clues were: http://www.crosswordunclued.com/2009/01/nyt-election-day-crossword.html

This has ruined my amazon recommendations forever

2012-01-15T08:50:00.000-05:00

Every time I see one of these, I have to click on it to see it up close, so now Amazon is like "Wow, you sure like looking at these shirts. Why don't you buy yourself something nice?"

You've likely already seen the three wolf moon shirt (if you haven't, catch up with how it became a known thing), but it turns out they make all sorts of shirts. The company is "The Mountain" if you want to look them up, but these are ones that seem to have the most narrow market possible.

So, this exists: teen zombie romance.

2012-01-14T08:43:00.003-05:00

From the amazon description:

"R is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, noidentity, and no pulse, but he has dreams.

After experiencing a teenage boy's memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and stragely sweet relationship with the victim's human girlfriend. Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His decision to protect her will transform not only R, but his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world."

Oh and this is also becoming a movie. Movie reviewers, get your "trying to get warm bodies into movie theater seats" puns ready.

NO MOM, HE'S DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER ZOMBIES! YOU CAN'T KEEP ME FROM HIM, I LOVE HIM!

Bar makes money by giving away $25 to everyone

2011-12-23T15:23:00.003-05:00

well, under certain circumstances at least.

As you can read about over on Consumerist, there was a bar out in Miami that "announced it would pay out $25 credits to every customer in bar on any night the team lost."

And yet they did well (the team and the bar)

"It's great business for us," Todora said. "Our marketing philosophy is that we want to be the loudest kid in the room. It's no secret that Florida is a very fair weather state in terms of their rooting interest of their teams. When the Heat weren't playing well, bars around us were complaining about lack of business. But we retained our customers."

Beyond that, Todora says the average person at the bar spent around $30 on the nights when the Heat played, around 36% more than the average check on a non-game night. So the extra money from those nights helped to defray the costs of the nights when he only netted $5/check.

Herman Cain suspended his presidential campaign and finally admitted he'd been quoting the Pokemon 2000 movie. Before there was a chance that maybe he had heard the song somewhere other than pokemon, however here's an excerpt from a news article.

"I believe these words came from the Pokemon movie," Cain said. "Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference. There's a mission just for you and me."

1) A woman had her car broken into and had like $460 of stuff that she had bought at Macy's get stolen. Then, one say she was at Macy's and happened to be behind a guy wearing her hoodie and trying to return the stuff he had stolen out of her car without a receipt:

2) People get over dramatic on facebook when it comes to birthdays:

[I've seen other posts on this site where people get upset because a high enough percentage of their facebook friends didn't say happy birthday]

3) I like that there is someone out there still writing letters and using a typewriter:

This guy is ridiculous

2011-09-15T16:36:00.006-04:00

Here's the summary:
Back in 2008, a U.S./Afghan patrol was ambushed. They were in a village and suddenly all the lights cut out and they were getting shot with bullets and RPG rounds by about 50 Taliban fighters.

So then this guy, Dakota Meyer, is somewhere else and he's like "let me go in and get them" because his friends were in there and there wasn't any air support coming. His superior officers order him not to go, but he disobeys orders, gets another guy, Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, and the two of them take a Humvee. Meyer mans the gun turret and they go in while under fire to make the rescue: saving 13 Marines and 23 Afghans while shooting 8 Taliban fighters even after getting hit with shrapnel in the arm. They made 5 trips in and, for his bravery, Meyer was today awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (the other guy got the Navy Cross)

Full story: http://news.yahoo.com/obama-awards-medal-honor-young-us-marine-193935264.html

Sadly, as reported here, when a Blackhawk did arrive, it informed him they could see 4 dead bodies: the friends that he was trying to save.

Dungeons & Dragons & Find & Replace

2011-09-13T16:03:00.004-04:00

From "Writing Precise Rules" in The Kobold Guide to Board Game Design:

"In a 16-page section of the 1994 D&D suppplement, Encyclopedia Magica, Volume 1, an editor haplessly and globally replaced all occurences of "mage" with "wizard," leading to such epic passages as "The user may look into the ball, concentrate on any place or object, and cause the iwizard of the place or object to appear," and "The tower can absorb 200 points of dawizard before collapsing. Dawizard sustained is cumulative, and the fortress cannot be repaired (though a wish restores 10 points of dawizard sustained)."

MARWENCOL - Guy loses his memory then builds 1/6th scale town in his backyard starring everyone he knows

2011-06-29T14:23:00.002-04:00

From the site:

After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack.

2011-06-18T00:14:00.004-04:00

Hey let's take our resource collection game and randomly add cat people to it.

"In the City of Katzburg, merchants are all discussing the big news. The mayor, Henry-Cat, has signed a trade agreement with the newly-discovered continent of Felinia. In exchange for precious goods (rare books, fine wines, precision watches, luxury clothing, and refined glassware), the Kingdoms of Felinia have agreed to let them install trading posts."

Once you open the box there are like zero cats too which just makes it extra weird. If I'm going to play a game with leopards, I will play Zooloretto. And my leopards will not have human hands.

Wedding dress made from the parachute that saved the groom's life

2011-06-09T13:01:00.003-04:00

So there was a B-29 pilot in WWII who had to bail out over Japan when the engine caught fire. When he proposed, he offered the parachute that saved his life as material for a wedding gown, and a seamstress was able to take it and turn it into this. It even still has parachute strings on the front so she can pull it up in the front. More info over on boingboing. No word from the CRAFT post if his crewmen survived to be white-suited groomsmen.

So apparently at shooting galleries, when you win and hit the target, the game gives you a photo as part of your prize. These photos are of the same woman many years apart (1936, 2009). Check out all the photos inbetween: http://lost.net.au/vic/?p=2429

Train goes right through vegetable market

My dad sent this to me. One youtube commmenter says "It is a Thai train. Probably Mae Klon market." and a quick google image search reveals plenty of photos though it seems to be called Maeklong Market.

Hooray! Blogger is working again. Now I can share hipster dog with you

So I don't know if you've played Dixit with me before, but it's a pretty fun party game. You can read my review if you want, but that's not the point of this post.

Dixit is a party game that comes with 84 big, really cool cards with paintings on them. You can get it on Amazon for like 25 bucks with free shipping.

So here's the thing. If you preordered the expansion, Dixit 2, the company gave you a promo card for free. 1 card. It doesn't change anything about how the game plays, it's just one extra card that you can describe. But you can't get it anymore. So let's say it's 2011 and you ordered Dixit 1 and Dixit 2 on Amazon. You've got a total of 168 cards but you don't have this one card. EBay does though.

How much do you think people would pay for one card?

I've seen a bunch of these auctions and they always go for this much. I mean, come on, you could buy a brand new game for this much.

Edit: The Dunwich Horror expansion for Arkham Horror (great game) is currently out of print and will be reprinted. But in the meantime, if you want a copy it'll be like $125.00 to get your copy (normally, like $30-$35).

I'm going to paste an AnnArbor.com story here. You can see the post on their site too.

University of Michigan student fights off attacker on Hill Street
A female University of Michigan student fought off a man who grabbed her Thursday night while she was walking off campus in the 1300 block of Hill Street, a university crime alert said.
According to the alert, the victim was walking at about 11:35 p.m. when a man grabbed her from behind. She elbowed him, prompting him to leave the area, the alert said.
The victim was not injured. According to the alert, the man was seen heading toward Cambridge Street. Ann Arbor police are investigating.
The man was described as white and 6-foot-1. He was wearing a black puffy coat and gray hooded sweatshirt pulled over much of his face, the alert said."

K, got it? A simple story about an event that happened, written up to include what little information the crime alert had given. What do you think the comments are about? Did people comment about if people should carry pepper spray? Sure. That would make sense. That's relevant. Did someone point out that this was hours after the Take Back the Night rally on the Diag? Yes. Also relevant.

Check out this comment though. It's addressed to the writer:

"Lee,
Seriously, you have got to be the most stubborn and for lack of a better term "writer" in the history of journalism, if we can stretch the word journalism to include AA.com. What does where this victim attends school have to do with this story. On a regular basis you attempt to degrade our local universities and its hard to understand why. Were you not admitted to UofM do you hate EMU for some reason. Here is an acceptable headline, "Woman fights off attacker on Hill Street". Where this woman attends school has as much to do with the story as perhaps where she works, her religion or maybe her favorite ice cream flavor. How about this headline "fan of cherry garcia ben and jerry's ice cream attacked on hill street" oh wait that is irrelavent. Hmmm I wonder if your bosses read these stories or if they just pay you to publish nonsense. Either way you have no journalistic integrity and should seek other endeavors."

You'd be surprised how many commenters out there think that AA.com has some sort of agenda to it and that anything they do is a sign that they are terrible journalists. The comment is longer than the story itself.

Anyhow though, if you thought that comment was bad, here's something that far surpasses it.

"For a long time I thought how excellent it is to live in a country where you can go to bed at night not worrying about a rocket coming through your window. But, really, except in scale, what's the difference between living in a land where there are terrorists shooting rockets at your house and living in a land where there are terrorists who grab you on the street?

War on Terror?

HAAA!"

I don't know how people can go through life getting so offended and up in arms about everything. You'd think it would get tiring.

The comments are definitely one of the more entertaining aspects of reading AA.com for me. There are definitely articles I click on just because I know people are going to be ridiculous.
