Remains of the penguins found on the southern coast of Peru challenge previous conceptions about penguin evolution and expansion.

I was reading it at work last night between calls and people were looking at me weird because I was laughing out loud. Seriously.

So I Moderated an Ax Murderer from Mental_Floss. "Have you ever known a killer? Lived next door to one, or worked in the same office as one? I haven’t, but I know people who have, and their stories all share a familiar refrain: “He seemed like such a normal guy.”" Video of one of these people telling their story. Insane.

I love thesneeze.com. It gives me joy. Last night, I was reading The Great Pizza Orientation Test at work last night, and I tried to discribe it to the girl sitting next to me, and I was laughing so hard I was in tears.

Especially the part about the 6" pizza. That part is my favorite.
