Lily’s 50 Reason’s People Have Sex

From the show, “How I Met Your Mother”

clipped from www.cbs.com Lily’s 50 Reasons People Have Sex There are many great lists out there, from People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive to VH1’s Top 100 ’80s Songs to George W. Bush’s short list of criminals he’d like to pardon before Barack Obama takes over. Well, the last one is probably not that great: We’re just assuming that O.J. Simpson is on the list right above Sideshow Bob and Michael Vick, which would make it the greatest list ever…or not. Either way, what really tops the list of The Best Lists Ever Made is from our very own Lily Aldrin: The 50 Reasons People Have Sex list. We managed to find the napkin she wrote this list on inside a trash can near MacLaren’s, and it was well worth the cuts from syringes, dog poop stains, and the grossness of Barney’s expired condoms.

Great End the Fed Posters

These are really good posters. Precise and to the point. The Federal Reserve is not more ‘Federal’ than Federal Express. It is a private institution run by a private organization that congress or the senate have no direct control.

50ft Wave off Cornwall

These are the kind of waves you see in Hawaii or Australia, not in the UK. A storm off of the coast causes 50ft waves.

He is seen being violently tossed in the air as it crashes in over him. Incredibly, he managed to avoid injury. The other surfer is nowhere to be seen He said: “They loved it. They’re crazy. They were really up for it – it was pure fun and games.” Elsewhere ferocious seas have had a more a serious impact. A brave lifeboat crew in Devon battled five-metre swells to rescue a group of sailors from a stricken cargo ship that was listing perilously in wind-battered waters on Sunday night. The 300-ft Greek-registered Ice Prince was carrying 5,258 tonnes of timber across the English Channel when it began to list in force eight gales. Coastguards said the rescue mission was their “most difficult rescue ever.”

Federal Bailout under a Blanet of Secrecy

Without knowing the value and the kind of assets the Fed received from troubled banks, taxpayers can’t determine the effectiveness of the bailout or whether the money is being used properly.

clipped from www.chron.com Pull away blanket of secrecy on federal bailout The Troubled Asset Relief Program, as the $700 billion bailout program approved by Congress is known, was supposed to be conducted with transparency and oversight. The TARP and other provisions of the federal bailout, however, remain shrouded in uncertainty. TARP, though, is only one piece of the overall bailout. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury have been shoveling huge piles of money into the markets during the past two months through channels that don’t require congressional approval, yet taxpayers have little idea where the money is going or what the government is getting in return. The Fed, for example, refuses to say who received some $2 trillion in emergency loans that have showed up on its balance sheet.

God Angrily Clarifies ‘Don’t Kill’ Rule

God said in a press conference near the Twin Towers, ‘Look, I don’t know, maybe I haven’t made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again. Somehow people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don’t. And to be honest, I’m really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand.”

Well, I don’t. And to be honest, I’m really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand.”

The Most Adorable Endangered Creature Ever?

The Axoloti salamander or “Mexican Walking Fish” is threatened with extinction.

clipped from www.treehugger.com Ubercool “Mexican walking fish” Nearing Extinction Most Adorable Endangered Creature Ever? We’re saddened to learn that the alien-looking Axolotl salamander (Ambystoma mexicanum), aka Mexican walking fish or Mexican water monster, is seriously threatened with extinction because of habitat destruction and water pollution. Axolotl’s Last Stand? One problem is with non-native fish species like the Asian Carp and the African tilapia that eat young Axolotls. They haven’t evolved in the same environment, so they don’t have good defense mechanisms against them. The other big issue is habitat destruction. Lakes have been drained, and wastewater from Mexico City pollute waterways. This will not be easy to fix, but something will have to be done because these species that are threatened are just the canary in the coal mine. Bigger problems are on the horizon.
