The World’s Worst Motivational Exercises
What do waterboarding, burning, beating, and kidnapping all have in common? If you said, “they are all controversial tools in the war on terror,” you would be wrong.

Halloween Dumbassery – What Are You Giving Out this Halloween?
It’s Halloween time, and that means candy! You can’t walk more than 10 feet without seeing something about child obesity in America, and yet no one cares at all when it comes to Halloween. It’s like a modern day Hansel and Gretel, only instead of being shoved into an oven by a witch the […]

Would Bruce Wayne be Jealous of Batman?
Here’s a weird question, suitably random for a Friday: If you were a superhero with a secret identity, and you were in a relationship with someone who did not know about your alter ego, would you be jealous if you found out that they were attracted to/hitting on your superhero persona?

Single Person’s Rant
Let’s start the week off with a little humor I recently posted an article titled, No Singles The article was about the customer service I received at a convenience store, but I see how the title could lead people to believe it was about the discrimination and annoyances singles people face.
