Came across this recently (they're featured on the front page of cdbaby), then decided to use ffcheck instead of reposting. (also, http://garfunkelandoates.com/music... )

Here's how good I was: I stood in front of this thing of beauty while holding a $50 OD gift card and *STILL* left the store without a single Sharpie. Will power FTW!

@Amber - that is typically what Tad does when he thinks I'm taking a picture of him... actually I was holding the camera trying to get the Guiness logo in the pic and didn't notice he was in the frame till I checked it later!

"The price of new homes at Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah island are falling fast, offering some buyers the chance to grab a bargain at 50 per cent less than peak prices. According to real estate broker PowerHouse Properties, four-bedroom garden homes on the Palm are now selling as low as AED 6.5 million, compared to AED 14 million in September 2008. Dubbed by real estate commentators as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, Palm Jumeirah instantly became a symbol of Dubai’s extravagant investment property boom when unveiled by developers Nakheel. But a slowdown in real estate has even hit the highest points of the local investment property market, with some claiming prices dropped by eight per cent in the last quarter of 2008."

"What is OK short for? The most popular theory is that OK comes from ‘oll korrect’, a deliberately misspelled writing of ‘all correct’. It was popularised in Boston newspapers around the 1840s when it was fashionable to go around spelling things incorrectly for humorous effect. Legend also has it that New York Democrats later adopted the abbreviation to promote their candidate Martin Van Buren – the initials ‘OK’ were derived from his nickname, Old Kinderhook."

"What would happen if there were no Moon? The most immediate effect (other than the lack of moonlight, of course) would be on the Earth’s tides. With only the Sun’s gravitational influence, the difference between high and low tides would be reduced dramatically - as would tidal drag, which slows the Earth down at a rate adding about 0.002 seconds to the length of a day each century....

"Where is the safest place to stand outside in a thunderstorm? Tall, pointy objects standing alone in an open space are more likely to get struck by lightning but it’s by no means a certainty. Sometimes the flat ground next to a tall tree can be hit. A car or other enclosed metal structure is the safest place to be in a thunderstorm. Failing that, a ditch, trench or group of shrubs of...

every time I hear this song I remember an Arsenio Hall show where he was talking about how people so often sing the wrong words to songs. So he pulled his producer in front of the camera and made her sing her version of this which was, "She's a fat cow!" God. Makes me giggle every.freaking.time. hee.

I need to record these or stay up late. That's hilarious.

@Crystalina This was from the 95-2000 SNL's. If you rent the "SNL: The Best Of Will Ferrell" you can catch a couple of them, I think he has two.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Agreed.. It's a toss up between the cast in the video and the Dana Carvey/Phil Hartman cast for which one is my favorite. I think Phil Hartman just because that was my first exposure to SNL

Odd question: Has anyone actually met someone (outside of NOLA) who's flashed their tits at Mardi Gras? Lots do but I haven't once met a woman who's owned up to it. Seems the Las Vegas motto has nothing on NOLA.

Ani, an ancient and ruined Armenian city, was the capital of Armenia thousand years ago. During the reign of the Bagratid Dynasty from the 9th to the 12th centuries, Ani acquired fame as being a Christian metropolis abounding with prestigious monuments. The once crowded streets and marketplaces of Ani, which was once one of the biggest cities of its time are now empty. Only the magnificent ruins of beautiful churches and city walls remind of its past glory and splendor.

The UN discovers, to its utter shock, that Iran has enough uranium to build nukes. Why didn't anyone warn them about this before? - http://www.ft.com/cms...
The new figures come in a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, released on Thursday. This revealed that Iran’s production of low enriched uranium had previously been underestimated.

Cool! Out of the 4 countries in the Axis Of Evil, 1 has more terrorists, 1 has terrorists were they didn't before and the other 2 have nukes! Outstanding work!

They DID warn the US. But apparently some guy misspelt it as IRAQ !

How do you know how many people are on FriendFeed? It would make #most followed users stat more valuable

I dunno, Shevonne. To be honest I don't pay that much attention to the number of followers. I'm not selling anything or using this to drive traffic...

Last I checked, dead people couldn't make me laugh so I think you're alive and well, sir and if this is what currently amuses you, so be it. Plus, if you get one of these lifes who shall make me giggle all day long?

I'm kinda surprised that I'm even in the top 500 most active users (389th) because my Comment and Like numbers are pretty low. I am here every day, though. I'll probably continue to have a small following until maybe I get unlimited texting and I start using Twitter a whole lot more... I don't really care though. This is the 1st time I checked ffholic. I'm just happy to get answers from people on a regular basis.
