Anna Niclole Smith is dead. Can we all get over it? The fact that her team of lawyers have figured out what to do with her remains is NOT breaking news. It's celebrity gossip.

Autos > Cars What your car says about your personality: 26 of 30
The model of car itself is not so important to catching a glimpse of ones personality, as is what one has done to that car. Obviously there are some generalizations to be made given the type of car in question. The short man in the SUV, its his way of dominating. In a normal day at work he spends his time looking up to every... More..
Style & Beauty > Shoes Heelys: Evaluating the trend of wheeled shoes: 8 of 9
Heely shoes, I remember the first time I saw a pair of these. Of course, I was far too old to even consider trying them. I also had the trouble of being a skateboarder, and those heely things looked a little too similar to roller blades if you ask me. But still there was something about them. The fact that you didn't have to... More..
Personal Finance > Investing (Other) Which is the better investment: BMW or bachelor's degree?: 9 of 10
I feel like this is a good opportunity to play devil's advocate here. Let's forget about the fact that a bachelors degree is pretty much essential these days. A masters degree is the new bachelors, and high school means nothing these days. So, all that aside, if a bachelors degree was nothing more than a 120,000 dollar inves... More..
Personal Finance > Bonds Why bonds fluctuate in value: 19 of 21
Bonds are considered conservative in terms of investments. This is because of the way that bonds work. When you purchase a bond your money goes to a company, government, or municipality, in exchange for a certain amount of income, and a guarantee that your initial investment will be paid back at a specific date. When you pur... More..
Arts & Humanities > Art Appreciation Art: A waste of time or meaningful expression?: 36 of 39
Art, at one point in human history, was a tool for self expression. Back when opium was the opiate of the masses, many an artist used their particular form of art to make it through their opium nightmares. Take Hector Berlioz'"Symphonie Fantastique" for example, the dance macabre is a terrifying musical recreation of a drug ... More..
Autos > Driving & Safety What to do if your car is stuck in snow or ice: 12 of 13
While perusing the other articles already submitted under this title, I noticed that everyones tips for getting out of a snowy situation involve a decent amount of preperation, such as having bags of kitty litter in the trunk, or snow tires or chains. I think one guy even said, "put the car into 4 wheel drive". Thanks dude, ... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Online video game reviews: Farm Frenzy: 26 of 28
Farm Frenzy turned out to be a pretty fun little game. At first I thought that it was just a kids game, a fun way to learn about commerce with cute little farm animals. However about five minutes into the game I was hooked. I needed to buy more geese so I could have more eggs so I could bake more cakes so I could make more m... More..
Autos > Cars Top ten cars you would like to own: 32 of 33
Everyone in this channel seems to pick cars that are just unaffordable, the obvious picks, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Lambos, etc. I saw that one guy even picked the Bugatti Veyron. Now don't get me wrong, I agree, I really do, all those high end cars are really awesome, but lets face it 99 percent of us will not ever own a car... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Art that mocks faith: Freedom of speech or slander?: 60 of 61
I get such a kick out of irate christians. "Hey! don't put a picture of jesus and 12 gay apostles with dildos up! that's offensive to Christians!" Then they'll go on to say, that being gay is a sin and "not a viable lifestyle". So, wait, art, a picture that mocks religion is slander, not free speech, but saying that gays are... More..
