Heartbreaking. I'm tempted to put mine up there.

Shir, here's their menu. [link] I've heard from several people who've gone there that they actually won't serve you if you don't order that way. If you say something like, "I'll have the empowered," the waiter will respond, "Do you mean you are empowered?" and this will continue until you say "I am empowered."

"I'll have the nachos or you aren't getting a tip."

most bread has eggs and/or milk in it, so they are probably indicating that it's vegan bread.

Regular sandwich bread generally doesn't. Challah and brioche do. (Last time I was at the store trying to buy a loaf of whole wheat bread, I was checking the ingredients on all of them and rejecting anything with non-vegan ingredients or corn syrup, and there were way more corn syrup ones than non-vegan ones. I think that, of the ten or so brands that we looked at, we found two with milk, one with eggs, and about eight with corn syrup.) My guess is that the "toast" is some kind of raw cracker.

Oh, Spare Cat could and would do that jar-opening much better, because she would unhesitatingly push it off the counter so that it broke open on the floor. None of this namby-pamby delicate lid opening for her!

This is weird - soon there will be more women in the workforce than men: The Mancession

We’ve pointed out before that that recession has disproportionately hurt men, who are more likely to work in cyclically sensitive industries like manufacturing and construction. Women, on the other hand, are overrepresented in more downturn-resistant sectors like education and health care.

Casey B. Mulligan noted, for example, that for the first time in American history women are coming close to representing the majority of the national work force. It would of course be a bittersweet milestone, given that it comes primarily as a result of men’s layoffs.

Does ita's wet men page only have pictures of famous wet men?

Anyway, here's a naked wet man: [link]

Worksafe.

eta: Oh wait - he is famous!

It's Raoul Bova, darlings. Have we not seen the cinematic masterpiece that is "Under the Tuscan Sun?"

Israelis new age names are freaking horrifying. One of my neighbors' kids name in Hebrew means "sublimate".

I cannot get this. I hope she/he will sue them when he/she will grow up.

(I guess this is somewhat more delicate in Hebrew, where names and meanings aren't nostalgic memory what they were hundreds of years ago, but as vivid as then).

In a meeting/conf call. My agenda item is second to last. SO SLEEPY.

I hope she/he will sue them when he/she will grow up.

If he or she hasn't slowly evaporated before then.
