For those of you who couldn't care less about me whining about my broken toy, I will share this little bit of joy with you. On my iGoogle homepage I have several little boxes that I don't really pay much attention to very often, but are there in case I get really bored.

The other day I went to search for something and out of the corner of my eye I caught the title "How to grind". I kind of laughed thinking to myself "surely they are talking about skateboarding" (this is specifically addressed in the "article"). Nope.

Thank you for this. I laughed for a considerable amount of time. If it wasn't so graphic I would use it as an example of poor citations in class.
That is so funny!! Oh man that made my morning. Thanks Brandon!
