Today he posted a bunch of interesting reminiscences from his childhood, and I found myself laughing and nodding on more than one occasion. For instance, he writes: “What you know [...]

I was browsing through some Yahoo News photos this morning and came across this one. It’s of a 4-year-old Boxer mix named Pabst, whose owners entered him in the World’s Ugliest Dog contest.

I was very sad to hear that Farrah Fawcett succumbed to cancer today. She had been battling the disease since 2007, and actually lived longer than her doctors thought possible — probably thanks to the experimental treatment she received in Germany.
