Carly Simon reveals subject of "You're So Vain" is... →
Hmm…
The identity of the man who walked into the party like he was walking on to a yacht in Carly Simon’s 1972 hit You’re So Vain has long been speculated to be Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger, Kris Kristofferson or Cat Stevens. But we’ve never known for sure.
Now, after guarding the secret for 38 years, the singer is whispering the first name of the man - “David”...

My coworker has this poster up at her desk. A happily informed her that she’s been living a lie for the past few months.
She says she doesn’t give a shit — she’s keeping it up.

Curling, bro...
Another idiotic NY Times trend piece:
Wall Street trading is often described as a blood sport. But inside the great investment houses, the sport of the moment is, of all things, curling — that oddball of the Olympics that is sort of like shuffleboard on ice.
This slow-poke game, which originated in 16th-century Scotland, has captivated the Type-A world of Wall Street almost by accident. CNBC,...
I'm actually going to miss David Paterson a little →
He didn’t strike me as a particularly bad governor. He was just kind of buffoonish.
And those SNL skits were hilarious.

Awesome:
Will a “Star Wars” character be the new Ole Miss mascot?
The campaign for Admiral Ackbar is gaining Internet, if not intergalactic, steam.
Tuesday, Ole Miss students voted to find a new mascot to replace the abandoned Colonel Reb. A student committee to develop and propose a new mascot will be formed soon.
Ackbar, a member of the Mon Calamari species who led the Rebel...
That Sea World whale is a serial killer you guys
Someone call Dexter:
Tillikum, nicknamed “Tilly,” has a controversial past. The large whale was blamed for the drowning of one of his trainers in 1991 while he was performing at Sealand of the Pacific in British Columbia. Sold to SeaWorld as a stud in 1992, the whale was involved in a second incident when authorities discovered the body of a naked homeless man lying across his back...

Pizza night...
I’m trying a new crust recipe - Jim Lahey’s no knead dough.
I modified the recipe a little, adding a little bit more salt and about a tablespoon of olive oil.
It’s an easy recipe in that you don’t have to knead the dough. The drawback is you have to start making it at least 18 hours in advance.
Toppings are my regular go-to ensemble: tomato sauce, mozzarella, pesto and...
Watch“Dark Side of the Rainbow”
If you’ve never seen the glory that is Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” synced up up with “The Wizard of Oz,” now’s your chance.

This isn’t really that far fetched. Jesus was an unmarried 33-year-old who was really close to his mother and traveled in the company of 12 other men. You do the math.
