Yup. Maxwell Perkins Is Still Seriously Dead (Open Thread)
How have I missed these guys all this time? Also too: this vid puts me in mind of an old Journal of Irreproducible Results paper on the natural history and psychology of editors. The one unifying characteristic: all of them as children, had been whacked by a book. ;) You may consider this a completely [...]

Because You Can’t/Can Have Too Much of a Good Thing
I have to admit that I laughed at this from Gail Collins’ Friday column: Everybody hates cancer and everybody likes breasts — infants, adults, women, men. Really, it’s America’s most popular body part. Collins is actually making the same point as DougJ’s in this post—though, as befits a proper New York Timeswoman, (or perhaps because [...]

This Will Make You Laugh
It sure made me laugh, at least: (via) Almost as funny as this- 25 People who Googled Santorum for the First Time. Personal favorite, “After I googled Santorum, I now know why he goes by Rick.”

Marketing Fail
I find it interesting when something so obviously ridiculous makes it through all the different layers of a corporation and their outside consultants. The marketing department, the advertising agency and even the printer missed the obvious on this one at a local gas station chain.

Louie Turns a Profit
Louis CK started selling his latest show on a website four days ago for $5. As of yesterday, he’s made $200K on the deal. He financed production costs via ticket sales, and the download is a DRM-free high definition video that you can watch on your computer or burn to a DVD without restrictions. The website [...]

“FBI: Muslim Groups In U.S. May Be Developing Nuclear Families”
The Onion: Life Imitates Parody This is uncomfortably apropos: WASHINGTON, DC—According to an FBI report released Monday, “reliable and substantive evidence” exists indicating that Muslims residing in the U.S. are involved in a widespread plot to develop nuclear families. “We possess what we believe to be credible proof that thousands of Islamic Americans, many of [...]

The Iowa Debate Comedy Show
In case you had the sense not to watch last night’s debate, you can read my Chirpstory of the live-tweeting snarkathon on my blog. (I can’t post the script here because FYWP that’s why.)

Darth Vader Seeks Free Land in Ukraine to Park His Death Star [update]
40 acres and a Stormtrooper? Is it just me, or is it a slow news day? Oh, it’s not just me? Great. So you won’t mind a spot of silliness then. Darth Vader hit up the mayor of a Ukrainian City for some free land recently, citing a law that grants every Ukrainian citizen the [...]

How Knowledge Gets Made (Open Thread)

Maybe He Should Head Back to Corporate Headquarters
This made me laugh- Politico did a blind taste test of five pizzas, including Herman Cain’s brand, and the results were unsurprising: I doubt you could serve Godfather’s pizza to drunks. (via)
