This makes me very happy

Mostly this part:

The Blue Jays have a familiar option in free agent Marco Scutaro, who can likely net multiyear offers after putting together a career year in 2009 as Toronto’s leadoff man and shortstop. Scutaro has drawn interest from the Red Sox, among other teams, and it is looking more and more as though he will not re-sign with the Jays.

Mostly this part:

The Prime Minister of Defence has re-upped for two years! All hail Johnny Mac, the human vacuum cleaner!

Buy Nothing Day is meaningless in Canada

theseer:

Or any other country besides America. Why?

Buy Nothing Day is the collective decision of a bunch of people to go against the American tradition called “Black Friday” - the Friday of the Thanksgiving weekend, where everyone gets work off, so they do all their Christmas shopping, kind of like a big Boxing Day before Christmas. All the retail stores have great deals, and so people get up before daylight to line up at the stores of choice at 5 or 6 in the morning in order to not be trampled on the way to getting The Deal. The reason Buy Nothing Day exists is because of those conscientious young consumers who want to go against the grain on that day.

There are two reasons why Buy Nothing Day is meaningless in Canada (of course, you are free to not buy anything - there’s never anything wrong with that):

1. We don’t celebrate American Thanksgiving today (btw Happy American Thanksgiving!)

2. We don’t have Black Friday deals, or get off work/school tomorrow

I agree wholeheartedly. Besides, if you really want to make a statement, buy nothing on Boxing Day. That way you can make a statement about family & friends being important to you, rather than just putting on a pretentious show about the evils of consumerism. (It’s worth remembering that Black Friday deals are the only way that some families can put gifts under the tree for their children.)

Standing for something is always better than merely standing against something else.

Olympic Math, by Shaun Majumder

87 (Crosby) - 8 (Ovechkin) = 79

79 is the atomic number for Gold

so:

87 - 8 = Gold!

A 5,000 to 10,000 word research paper you say?
Well, here you go, and let it never be said that I give the bare minimum.

Two questions:
-can’t you cut a word somewhere?
-are you sure the bibliography doesn’t count towards the word count? I’ve seen it be counted on a number of papers I’ve done… (Why? I don’t know. Profs/TAs are weird somtimes?)

Man trapped in 23-year 'coma' reveals horror of being unable to tell doctors he was conscious

From the article:

“The disclosure will also renew the right-to-die debate over whether people in comas are truly unconscious.”

You think!?!?
