We, wanderers of the world outside the US, have been touched by the initiative of www.sorryeverybody.com, and the huge amount of photos they received. The initiators of this website would like to show back to the American people that they appreciated that message.

Announcer: He got it! Belushi’s won the gold, now he’s going for the world’s record!

[ cut to John Belushi running long-distance sprint and winning, as his fans crowd around him ]

[ cut to John at home ]

John Belushi: [ seated at breakfast table smoking a cigarette ] I logged a lot of miles training for that day. And I downed a lot of doughnuts. Little Chocolate Donuts. They taste good, and they’ve got the sugar I need to get me going in the morning. That’s why Little Chocolate Donuts have been on my training table since I was a kid.

Known as a rectangular projection, this map is one way of looking at the spherical Earth as a flat map. Both the size of continents and their shape get distorted as you move away from the equator. Compare this with a Mercator projection, which greatly distorts sizes in favor of keeping the shapes correct, or a Peters projection which distorts shapes but gives a true indication of relative size.

Designer tin foil hats. Where to find them? Look no further. Greetings and welcome to tfh, home of the most stylish tin foil hats on Earth, for the discriminating lunatic. Just listen to this riveting testimonial:

Japanese Emoticons

A small article about the differences between Western emoticons and Eastern. I have asian friends from countries other than Japan and they use the eastern emoticon versions also so I am not sure why the author only labeled them as Japanese.
