And now for the weekly round-up of the things that I found interesting this week:
.:. Apparently, DVRs are good for more than just saving tv shows...they save relationships, too...
.:. This article from Psychology Today: In Brief: From Success to Snuggles had some interesting stuff in it...
.:. Awww...baby animals are so adorable!!
.:. Crazy, talking bird gets a door broken down by the cops because of a 'help me!' imitation...tsk tsk...
.:. Poor heroin addicted elephant...but at least he's finally kicked his habit with the help of rehab...
.:. Seriously, what is a dead shark doing in Lake Michigan?
.:. So...no speed limits on German highways, but a skateboarder is wanted for speeding on a German highway?
.:. This is just too weird...a cross dressing thief left his fake breast behind...
.:. Umm, yeah...if you're attempting to cash in on your life insurance policy by faking your own death, it's probably best not to make a doctor's appointment within the first six months of your alleged death...
.:. Holy s***...what a wacko! She stalked her virtual ex...even tied her poor, little dog!
.:. This is a bad situation with a happy ending...

Little girl: Please?

Tourist mom: I think it's the one with the circley top. (points to the Chrysler Building)
Tourist dad: No, honey, it's the one way out there, on the water.

-- Top of the Rock
Plus, It Would Be a Good Way to Keep Her Weight Down
Boyfriend: I've got it. A giant human hamster ball.
Girlfriend: You are not putting our daughter in a hamster ball to keep her away from weird men.
Boyfriend: But you have to admit it's better than the idea of a leash or the electric fence.

I Sell Myself Magic Beans Every Morning
Mr. Smith* (lifting student's backpack): That's overloaded. You need to get a boyfriend to carry that for you.

Student: I'm my own sucker!

Atlantic Avenue announcement: The 2, 3, 4, 5, b and q trains are not running into Manhattan. As an alternative, take the n, d, or r trains.

So, Wanna F***?
Good looking suit to lunch date: How about this--let's say that you and I are equally attractive. Now let's say that on any given day we each see 1,000 people of the opposite sex (a lot more, obviously, but that's a good number). You, as a woman, could sleep with approximately 850 of them--that 1,000 is discounted by the 100 who are gay (10%, as they say), and the 50 who are faithful to their wives/girlfriends. Now for me--I see 1,000 women, but 850 is way too high a number for me--maybe, if I'm lucky, I could find a few skanks in the group willing to bang a guy they don't know. Aside from that, I'm looking at 2-3 dates, dinners, phone calls, all that s***. That's why it's easier for girls.
Date: Wow.
Good looking suit: It's simple math.
Date: You would only allow 50 faithfuls? Sheesh.
Good looking suit: Men are scum.

How the Hennecino Was Born
Starbucks barista (giving out some samples): Hey, would you like to sample our frappuccino?
Man with a bottle in a brown paper bag: Pssh. Nah. That shit don't go good with Hennessy.
Starbucks barista: Oh, okay. Have a good day.
Man with a bottle in a brown paper bag: Wait, sorry. That was f***ed up. Do you wanna sample my Hennessy?
