Still Crazy After All These Years
Yesterday it was my birthday / I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed / My life's a mess but I'm having a good time
Oo, I've been loving and loving and loving / I'm exhausted from loving so well
I should go to bed / But a voice in my head says "Ah, what the hell"
Have a good time
Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland / But I think it's all overdone
Exaggerating this and exaggerating that / They don't have no fun
I don't believe what I read in the papers / They're just out to capture my dime
I ain't worrying / And I ain't scurrying; I'm having a good time
Have a good time
Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster / Maybe my race has been run
Maybe I'm blind to the fate of mankind / But what can be done?
So God bless the goods we was given / And God bless the U. S. of A.
And God bless our standard of livin' / Let's keep it that way
And we'll all have a good time
"Have a Good Time"
Paul Fuckin Simon y'all.

Great Ancient Roman Graffiti proves that people were shallow and obsessed with sex and pooping since the dawn of time:
I.2.20 (Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio); 3932:
"Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!"
Folks over at MetaFilter are begging for a good way to do automatic playlisting on their digital music collections.
Man, somebody oughtta get on that.
Some dubious history regarding Ypsilanti's Frog Island.
Hairy frogs I can get with, but a mayor named "Smedly J. Snodgrass" and a naturalist conveniently named "Pete Boggs?" C'mon.
Funnest!!! Match the sound to the classic video game. Galaga, Frogger, Sinistar, BurgerTime, Pitfall, Joust. They're all in there.
Note: This is on PBS' site, so it must be educational!
A great collection of photos of metallic objects sucked into MRI machines
due to the crazy magnetic forces they generate.

Some guys who worked in Paul Anka’s band over the years finally got fed up with his post-gig ranting and raving, so one of them tapes one of Anka’s tantrums and posts it on the web. Anka was furious, but never found out who did it.
Beware: lotsa swearing coming from the guy who wrote "She's Having My Baby"
