Hey Guys,

My name is Josh Gondelman, and I am not an athlete. I am a writer/comedian/bald guy who lives in New York City. Yet for some reason, Wheaties (the cereal) sent me an e-mail offering to pay me money to train for, write about, and compete in a Tough Mudder event next month. A Tough…

“oh, there are pictures.. I keep them where I need the most cheering up.”

For those who don’t know the story behind this:

Before Maggie was born, Homer Simpson worked at the Nuclear Plant because he needed the money to pay for all the debt. Once Homer Simpson finally payed the debt, he quit his job to work at his dream job at the bowling alley. When Homer Simpson found out that Marge was pregnant with Maggie, he became depressed that he had to quit his job at the bowling alley because the salary couldn’t support them. When Homer Simpson begged Mr. Burns for his old life back, he put a plaque that reads “Don’t Forget: You’re Here Forever.” When Maggie was born, Homer instantly fell in love with her. When Lisa asked Homer where did all Maggie’s baby pictures went, Homer explains that he keeps it where he needs it the most.

“I have been kidded about it, I have been ribbed, I have been challenged in board rooms and official offices across the world. But fighting to give women and girls a fighting chance isn’t a nice thing to do. It isn’t some luxury that we get to, when we have time on our hands to spend doing that. This is a core imperative for every human being and every society.””

Amish romance novels: it’s a thing. Valerie Weaver Zercher explains in Bonnet Rippers:

I do not know what books these boxes hold, but as I step inside the door, a shelf to my left offers a clue: Amish romance novels, all with covers depicting lovely Amish-clad Mädchen hovering over pastoral landscapes, line the shelves. A handwritten note on neon green paper taped to one shelf says, “New! Lydia’s Charm.” Published by Barbour Books, the novel tells the gentle story of a widow who moves to Charm, Ohio, and is pursued by two Amish suitors, one a widower with three unruly boys and the other a shy bachelor.

A Loaded Question: Gun Ownership vs. Gun Deaths Worldwide

Even peaceful Switzerland is reeling from mass murders, and voters are demanding change. Public-health research on firearm deaths is notoriously inconclusive, but it’s safe to say that more guns make for more bodies: High firearm-death rates (totaling suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths) correlate with high levels of gun ownership, at least among countries belonging to the European Union and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The link between gun ownership and gun murderis fuzzier: Gun-loving Finland has more than twice as many firearms as Portugal, but the Finns have only half as many gun murders per capita. Income, development, and culture appear to drive gun-crime rates more than simple gun availability.

“Because of his irrational fear that his family would throw him a golf-themed funeral despite his hatred for the sport, his family will hold a private, family only service free of any type of “theme.””

- This is legitimately the best obit ever, featuring such lines as “He particularly hated Day Light Saving Time, which he referred to as The Devil’s Time,” and “One of his regrets was not seeing his girl, Hillary Clinton, elected President.” (via hilaryalehman)
