The first human on the moon is now dead. He died at 82, so I think we can rule out space travel as a the cause of death. In case you are wondering, the second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin, is still alive (82).

“The female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down [the ability to get pregnant] when you are legitimately raped.” (Todd Akin). That is some serious truthiness. I mean it sounds plausible. In fact, he probably believes it. I read somewhere that women that climax at the same time as

Dynamic View, Google’s newest templates (11 months old) simply don’t work all the time. Imagine having cool new light-bulbs that didn’t always turn on. Sometimes the pages load correctly, sometimes they don’t load at all. And who knows why. After a Summer of impressive page views, I’ve given up. No way that many people

Should speak English Or French to work here This is an open letter to Jason Kenny, Canada’s federal minister of immigration. “Skill labour” Immigrants need to understand and speak English or French. I don’t care about their success in Canada. They need to understand me when they call my call centre for

You could argue the use of Black people people in this video is code for “plenty of illegal stuff here”. So it is ironic that convicted embezelor Kim Dotcom wants Americans to vote Republican. No metion of Kim Dotcom’s (formerly Kim Schmitz) criminal past in this interview. If Black pirates

Queue jumping is anti-social behaviour. Yet our federal government is sanctioning the behaviour by allowing Nexus card holders to jump the line-up at airport security. No, not just customs and immigration, airport security! Unlike at the border, Nexus card holders have the same security procedures as the rest of us.

Obama was raised by his Agnostic White mother and his Protestant White Grand-Parents (When hid lived in Indonesia, he was also raised by his Asian (probably) Muslim step-father). Obama doesn't talk about religion in his autobiography Dreams of My Father (at least, not in the part I read; the book is quite boring). Religion

When reading the NY Times via Twitter and Google search becomes too much of a hassle, you can now read the Chinese version. And if you don't speak Mandarin, you can use Google Translate. By the way, wouldn't it make more sense for Bloomingdales to advertise in the airline in-flight

With few exceptions, Via Rail is always more expensive than the bus. Via is also slower. Worse, passenger trains cause congestion on the heavily used rail network. Via is subsidized. Intercity bus travel isn’t (and bus companies pay gas tax and, if they manage to make a profit, income tax). If

I just saw Hangover 2. I was a bit dismayed that it didn’t win the Oscar for best movie ever, but I’m happy that it made over half a billion dollars. Critics complain that Hangover 2 was a repeat of Hangover 1. Well, Hangover 2 is in Bankok. That’s not

The United Church is against gambling. Bingo is a Catholic sport, you won’t find that in a United Church. My mother wasn’t even allowed to play cards! Althought the United Church is quite progressive and ever changing, you still can’t gamble in a united church. However, thanks to the Altantic Lottery

Who buys lottery tickets? Trailer trash. This must be a sophisticated trailer park, because the lottery in question is the online-only GeoSweep, the cool Google Maps based why-didn't-I-think-of-that new lottery game of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation. Since 2010, the mapped-based British lottery concept has been so successful that they have had to
