Does this banner make me look fat?

I was watching a clip from the Daily show when a banner completely obscured the video clip I wanted to watch. It would not go away until I refreshed my page. Why does life have to be SO HARD?


I see now that the advertiser is unfortunate in the context of this video clip.

Naming a Boat?


If you're trying to find the perfect name for your catamaran in the Virgin Islands, allow me to provide a little advice.

DO pick a word that sounds fun. DON'T pick a word that means:
of, relating to, being, resembling, or affected by schizophrenia characterized especially by a marked psychomotor disturbance that may involve stupor or mutism, negativism, rigidity, purposeless excitement, and inappropriate or bizarre posturing.
-Merriam-Webster Dictionary

I provide this advice at no charge.
