There's no such thing as virginity.

Before they closed down temporarily due to a teacher's strike, my high school banned touching mezuzot on one's way into or out of a room due to swine flu.

Today's F Minus is funny, and from marnanel, this funny animated gif.

Congress is broken. If I ever get fed up and give up on politics entirely, this article explains the reason.

From alanscottevil: The pledge of allegiance is un-American.

The final word on Belichick and Sunday's 4th-and-2, including a link to a hilarious 4th-and-2 calculator.

And finally, today's a Woot Off! Hope I don't miss them offering an Eye-Fi like I did last time!

Appropriate bathroom procedure:

1. Do your business
   
2. Dispense towel if necessary (do not take towel)
   
3. Turn on water
   
4. Wash hands
   
5. Take towel & dry hands
   
6. Turn off water with towel
   
7. Open door with towel & leave bathroom
   
8. Take towel with you & throw it out at first convenient place outside the bathroom (unless you can quickly shoot it into the bathroom trash can while holding the door open with a foot or shoulder or something, but don't miss)

I don't do all of this all of the time, but I should, and so should you!

I usually switch 8 with "hold door with foot while shooting towel toward garbage". Paper towels tend to get saturated when I use the generally-dispensed dose, and I don't like to be wasteful, nor have wet bathroom-door-dirty towels in my pocket. It's just that people look at me like I'm a loony for trying to avoid exposure, and it would be infinitely easier if you could just elbow open all washroom doors from the inside. All the money that gets spent on the various no-touch towel dispensers or hand dryers, no-touch faucets... it's all pretty much a waste if you put the hinges of the door on the wrong damn side, which would probably have been a cheaper fix.
