War On Mustaches
This is pretty funny, particularly when one goes back and looks at the facial hair of Civil War officers on both sides.
Your Hockey Stick
Time to get it tied:
Eschewing procreation in order to spread their message only through conversion? Well, it worked for the Shakers…
Meanwhile, Joe Bastardi is upset at Michael Mann’s slam at Judith Curry (among others). James Taranto is entertained by the vasectomizing twit:

Ed Driscoll has a lot more.
Engineering Less-Than 101
This is dramatically oversimplified. It only works for mechanical engineering.
The ObamaCare Video Contest
Give Remy the prize.
Defamation Suits
Good (and entertaining) advice on what to do if you’ve been threatened with one.
To Ask, Or Not To Ask?
Communication Across The Anglosphere
Two peoples, separated by a common language.
Whole Foods
I see the gluten-free section filled with crackers and bread made from various wheat-substitutes such as cardboard and sawdust. I skip this aisle because I’m not rich enough to have dietary restrictions. Ever notice that you don’t meet poor people with special diet needs? A gluten intolerant house cleaner? A cab driver with Candida? Candida is what I call a rich, white person problem. You know you’ve really made it in this world when you get Candida. My personal theory is that Candida is something you get from too much hot yoga. All I’m saying is if I were a yeast, I would want to live in your yoga pants.
Next I approach the beauty aisle. There is a scary looking machine there that you put your face inside of and it tells you exactly how ugly you are. They calculate your wrinkles, sun spots, the size of your pores, etc. and compare it to other women your age. I think of myself attractive but as it turns out, I am 78 percent ugly, meaning less pretty than 78 percent of women in the world. On the popular 1-10 hotness scale used by males the world over, that makes me a 3 (if you round up, which I hope you will.) A glance at the extremely close-up picture they took of my face, in which I somehow have a glorious, blond porn mustache, tells me that 3 is about right. Especially because the left side of my face is apparently 20 percent more aged than the right. Fantastic. After contemplating ending it all here and now, I decide instead to buy their product. One bottle of delicious smelling, silky feeling creme that is maybe going to raise me from a 3 to a 4 for only $108 which is a pretty good deal when you think about it.
Read the whole (foods) thing. It’s pretty funny.
