I’m sure you’ve seen the little tricks Google does (e.g. when you type in “Do a barrel roll”). I just found another today. If you type in anagram it will search for anagram but shows “Did you mean ‘nag a ram’?” Seriously, Google might be the best company ever.
Only 11% of people would murder their favorite pet for $1 million?!?! I think these people are idealists. I think if the cash were on the table, they would do it.
Also it would be interesting to see these same people’s responses to this question: Imagine you just won the lottery and got $1m after taxes. The next day, your favorite pet ate your TV remote or something and needs surgery or it will die within a week. The surgery costs $1m. Would you let your pet die and keep the money?

Americans would go back to school if it were free. Judging by how many think the U.S. population is a billion, more schooling is probably a good idea.
Teach us things, Americans are saying.…
These polls are great

another impressive leader from the catholic church
As much as I hate to say it, I think I am siding with the Cardinal on this one. Why do people get so up in arms when two things are compared? Comparing them doesn’t mean you think they are the same in every aspect. Like if I said, “Apples are like tomatoes because they have seeds and red skin,” that doesn’t mean that I think Apples would make good ketchup or pizza sauce.
People are way too sensitive these days, and only have the attention span to read headlines instead of the full articles. All he was saying is that having the parade go by the church at a time that would prohibit people from going to mass would be inhibiting their freedom of religion. He could have used more tact in the way he said it, but he was right (and the parade time got changed) and he shouldn’t have to resign for it.
Really interesting read on mortality

DARK KNIGHT RISES. I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT.
I doubt many Christians believe that God is unfairly helping Tebow win games in the AFC West. I’m sure a few hardcores might, but not many. However, I get the impression that especially antagonistic secularists assume this assumption infiltrates every aspect of Tebow’s celebrity, and that explains why he’s so beloved by strangers they cannot relate to. Their negative belief is that penitent, conservative Americans look at Tebow and see a man being “rewarded” for his faith, which validates the idea that believing in something abstract is more important than understanding something real. And this makes them worried about the future, because they see that thinking everywhere. It seems like the thinking that ran this country into the ground.
