Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My latest efforts in online dating have yielded hilarious results, but no actual dates.

For reasons unknown to me, I attract a ridiculous number of men who are tortured about their own sexuality and want to play dress up with me, or fetishists who want a "big" girl to play with when their wives aren't around.

I know not whether to laugh or cry, but there you go.

Annnd, someone I'm in a meeting with who I really like and respect just went on a long rant about healthcare and how the press is so scared to touch Obama yadda yadda. Feh.

It does read like Dana sold shift's car and took of for Europe on the profit.

How do you think she managed that first class ticket?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Green Hornet's car revealed: [link]

It's a modified 1965 Chrysler Imperial, very much like the one on the TV show.

Random car trivia: The 1965 Chrysler Imperial looked a lot like the Lincoln Continentals of the same era. Chrysler actually hired the guy who designed the landmark 1961 Continental to design the Imperial.

Cindy, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Never having owned a car, I've never felt the need for learning stick, although somehow I always felt I should.

But would you have learned if you got on Amazing Race? I totally would!

I donated a car this year and it was surprisingly easy peasy.

This is weird - this is one of the most iconic photos in the history of war (or even of photography in general)....

Capa Spanish Civil War Photo Likely Staged: Researchers

MADRID — Robert Capa's photograph of a falling Spanish Civil War militiaman became one of the most famous and enduring images of conflict in the 20th century. Now, Spanish researchers who have studied events surrounding the picture believe it may have been staged.

When first published in September 1936 by French magazine Vu, and later in Life magazine, the caption on the legendary photojournalist's "Falling Militiaman" said it depicted the moment a Republican rifleman was mortally wounded.

The location was given as Cerro Muriano on the Cordoba front, where forces backing Gen. Francisco Franco were engaged in fierce fighting with soldiers loyal to the elected Republican government.

...

For Spaniards, "Falling Militiaman" is a searing reminder of a 1936-39 internal conflict that deeply divided a nation along political lines and cost at least 500,000 lives. For Capa it was the image that catapulted his career as the world's foremost war photographer.

That was J's job, although I probably would have also made the attempt!

Our friend Andy is doing props for that film, so I knew about that weeks ago. Cool, huh? He is very excited to be working with Michel Gondry.
