    Article is incomplete, I need to know what kind of cheese was used. I know it says cheddar, but is that a 3 year, 5 year, 10 year, or was it, god willing, a glorious 15 year or more aged cheddar?

    Probably only a 3 year since it's a good mix of firm and soft for carving, but the Son of God deserves to be carved out of the best.

    Once the cheese finally went moldy, was it suddenly un-moldy again 3 days later?

    Bad news: Belgium on lockdown over the weekend because of Daeshbags

    Gone right: in response to a request not to post sensitive information about operations, Belgians instead post cat pictures

    Belgian police later recognised the cats for their service

    Masked Florida Man arrested for not robbing a store.

    Yes, not robbing a store.

    Florida Man just cannot win.
    Instead, Seaman, of Jupiter, was arrested on a misdemeanor wearing a mask, hood, or other device on public property charge.
    We should cut him some slack. He is not used to our earthly ways.

    "Woman makes Sourdough using yeast from vagina."

    She says it's a statement for feminism, which would seem like a bit of a stretch, but the degree of agitation it's caused grumpy MRAs on twitter seems to lend some validity to that claim.

    Full article is worth reading just for the helpful HuffPo slideshow of "Vagina Cakes" at the bottom.

    What it's a statement for is proper sanitization in the kitchen. This one falls under NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE.

    Also, two of the better takes I've seen on this:
    Yes, and plenty of people swallow cum, too, but not many use it to frost cupcakes (at least not this side of a paywall).
    Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.
    Bake me a cake as fast as you can
    Pat it, roll it and mark it with a NOPE

    For one British town this holiday season, the parody song "Walking Around In Women's Underwear" probably hits closer to home than they'd like:
    A town's festive lights have been likened to giant sparkly underpants.
    The decorations, in Tiverton, Devon, were selected because the town's Christmas committee "liked the shapes".
    But since the lights were switched on, people have remarked on their resemblance to festive undergarments on a washing line.
    Committee chair Sue Griggs said: "They're Father Christmas's sparkly pants and they're great."

    I got like halfway through the fault in our stars, then realized the ending was going to be horribly sad and stopped reading. It was a good book, I just didn't want to be depressed.

    So what I'm seeing is that the children in Jersey enjoy reading a lighthearted, jovial novel to take their mind off the fact that they live in Jersey.

    Given that the list isn't assigned texts but self-elected reading, I think that's pretty great. Very few, if any, people choose to electively read the classics unless they are researchers in field. Doubly so because John Green is a pretty great person and a damn decent author for YA fiction.

    Don't hate. Just be happy young people are actually reading.

    Even moreso considering I've been seeing "complaints" about how the new Hunger Games movie doesn't depict enough romance.

    Okay, whoever did the coloring for that map should be ashamed of themselves.

    It should either be color-coded by book, or use a simple three-color or four-color system, as opposed to this "every state gets its own" method.

    Ugh.

    Good data, though!

    The Hunger Games is an ok book, but with a great commentary on the news, reality television, and the way we fetishize war.

    So... You should feel bad.

    Seriously, The Maze Runner is actually the generic dystopian teen novel alot of people seem to think The Hunger Games is.

    If it has any of that it's entirely incidental in favor of shoehorning more forced romance into the "plot" after the first one.

    Leave it to the Internet to find a new way to be stupid with condoms.

    (It's worth remembering that soldiers have used them as makeshift water carriers, thanks to their capacity. A single condom can easily hold over one liter of water.)

    No one else find it humorous that the book for Maine is looking for Alaska? Something about that just tickled me. Maybe it is the thought of students trying to figure out where it is and confusing the book with an atlas. Probably not the reason but it amused me.

I mean, in my town people pretended to be playing the demo play of arcade machines because fuck spending quarters, so I can't exactly say kids in my day were better at having fun, but at least when we risked destroying an expensive piece of electronics, we made sure it belonged to somebody else.
