This had me nodding until it made me laugh with its description of the post-college generation with “Their tiny netbooks and iPhones, which serve as portals to the cloud…”

Uh, yeah, it’s just called the internet. (And netbooks suck.)

BBC Sport - Football - Roy Keane has no sympathy for Republic of Ireland exit

BBC Sport - Football - Roy Keane has no sympathy for Republic of Ireland exit:

This video is amazing, but cuts off right as a reporter’s cell phone rings, and Keano’s eyes dart towards the offender. They likely had to cut the video there, so as not to show Roy leaping over the dais, throwing the cell phone out the window, and punching the reporter in the neck.

“

This one WSJ paragraph is cliché bingo!

A radical departure from the skinny-pants trend of the past few years, the baggy trousers can take some getting used to. Jean Hall, 24, says the low-slung crotch of her American Apparel African-print harem pants got caught on her bike pedal while she was riding through Brooklyn, causing her to fall off. Her friend, who was riding with her, wrote about the incident on Twitter.

After Qaddafi’s masterpiece performance at the UN, Switzerland just couldn’t leave things alone. NYT:

Qaddafi decided that Switzerland is a “world mafia and not a state.” He also withdrew Libya’s assets from Swiss banks, recalled his diplomats and closed the Nestlé office in Tripoli.

This would be immediately after the Geneva police arrested Qaddafi’s son Hannibal and his wife for beating two servants with a coat hanger and belt while they were staying in one of the city’s luxury hotels. The servants later withdrew their complaint after receiving what The Associated Press said was “compensation from an undisclosed source.”

Unappeased, Qaddafi submitted a U.N. proposal to abolish Switzerland altogether and divide the territory among its next-door neighbors.
