I recently clicked on the trending topic of Emily Ratajkowski posing head-to-toe nude for Bazaar magazine, and the first result was a guy who noticed something: almost all of the user-written statuses about the article supposedly expressing their unique opinion were essentially the same copy pasted in, but with a few minor variations.

Looking for a sillier way of saying “I need to use the toilet” without being so TMI? Try these out, at your own peril:

“I need to…” / “Time to go..”
I need to powder my nose.
I need to see a man about a horse.
I need to visit your tinkletorium.
I need to spend a penny.
I need to pinch a loaf.
I need to go shake hands with the unemployed.
I need to go shake hands with the branch manager.
I need to go shake hands with the governor (or other politician).
I need to go drain the radiator.

Here’s how to finish the Riddle School 2 flash game.

1. In the band room, click on all the coins. There’s one on the drum set, two on the floor, and one on the music stand closest to you.
2. Talk to the guy leaning in the left corner of the room, and you’ll buy a whistle from him for 75 cents.
3. Click on the whistle to blow it, and the teacher will faint. Exit the room.
4. In the hallway, enter Mrs. Sleep’s room on the left.
5. Click on the open student desk to get SLIDY trombone lube and a few coins. Leave.

Taeyeon’s new MVs Starlight and WHY seem to be telling a story, but the narrative isn’t really very clear yet. Here’s my guesses about what the story might be — and these are just my guesses.

If you need a refresher, here are the two music videos in order they were released.

Making the rounds lately is a photograph of hundreds of people loaded onto a single ship, practically spilling out over the edges.. along with the claim that it is a photograph of the Syrian refugees of ~2015 — except it’s from 1991. For some reason in the popularized version has the letters L and O out of the ship’s name VLORA are removed or blurred, but in other photos from that particular even show the ship’s letters very clearly.

This is just a hastily-assembled list of tricks for the gaming-system versions of Skyrim (not PC) that I’ve gathered from the general Skyrim community at large. I don’t take any credit for them — just wanted to compile a list of them for other adventurers out there =)

~ Infinite Gold Trick While You Sleep IRL ~

1. The easiest way to make gold without tricks is to chop wood. At most mills, there is a chopping block on the grass somewhere and a woodcutter’s axe lying around nearby. Take the axe, and walk up to the chopping block and activate it. You’ll go into a little animation to chop wood, and if you let it go (for about 30 seconds) when it’s done you’ll end up with 6 pieces of firewood. Take the firewood to the mill owner, and he/she’ll pay you for chopping them and take the wood. On average, the payment comes out to about 1 gold per second waiting for the animation to complete, or 60 gold per minute. The problem is that when the animation is over, you’ve got to look back down to restart the process — but not if you’ve got a companion with you. If you go into the command mode, you can order a companion like Lydia to chop wood for you, and your view never changes — you’ll just need something to press the button repeatedly. If you can figure out some kind of device that will press the button to order the character to chop wood repeatedly, and turn off the TV/monitor while you go to bed for the night, you could conceivably wake up in the morning and have one metric s#!t-ton of firewood to give to the mill owner. At 1-gold/1-second, if you were to sleep for 6 hours and no dragons were to attack or whatever system you set up to press the button didn’t get interrupted, you could have 21,600 gold worth of firewood when you wake up the next day.

(send your suggestions to me at ablestmage@gmail.com and I’ll add my favorites!)

I didn’t want my kids to join band or orchestra, and risk being exposed to so much sax and violins.

It only leads to treble.

How clef-er.

I’ve been told I’m pretty sharp.

These jokes always fall flat.

People just don’t measure up.

We just don’t have the staff for it.

Didn’t you get my note?

I’ve had to scale back.

It’ll just take a minuet.

There have been some minor setbacks.

This was a major development.

Pfff!

This was just a prelude to a repeat offense.

I didn’t mean to de-bass your comment.

Controversy of late is the signing of A.B.1461, a California bill called the California New Motor Voter Program that critics describe as a method for allowing non-citizens to vote, by registering them when they apply or renew a drivers’ license. However, the text of the bill itself does not even say this.

What the bill does say, is that people who apply for or renew their drivers’ license in California will also be enabled to apply for voter registration at the same time, not that the applications will be granted. Just as you can apply for a drivers’ license and be rejected, so too could someone who does not meet the criteria for becoming an eligible voter be likewise rejected.

1. The bill does not say that once your drivers’ license is awarded or successfully renewed that you automatically therefore receive voter registration. The bill states directly that applicants will not be approved if the Secretary of State deems the applicant ineligible to vote.
