Recycling Markets Collapse Posted: 1 week ago by pocksucket
Which is more important, saving the planet* or saving a little money?
Apparently it's the latter as since the bottom has dropped out of the recycling market no-one is doing it anymore.
Result? Warehouse fill instead of land fill.
*It should be noted that recycling will not save the planet - it might make you feel better, but that is all.

Nike declares two winners in Marathon, but Reebok gives the award. Posted: 1 week ago by tragluk
The 'second' winner came in with a time 11 minutes ahead of the 'original' winner but was not originally considered the winner because she didn't start with the 'Elite' group which had a head start.
So Reebok gave the award to the 'second' winner with the faster time.

Beer, being the most awesome beverage ever created, has knocked champagne and wine out of the top spots for the holiday.

How to write the perfect disaster movie Posted: 1 week ago by chez
A lot of the best disasters – asteroids, aliens, earthquakes, tsunamis – have already been taken, sometimes twice, as in the embarrassing simultaneous releases of Armageddon/Deep Impact and Volcano/Dante's Peak. So you'll have to be a bit creative. Pick something unusual: what if gravity started going sideways instead of straight down, say?
