Gentlemen, I know it’s hard for you to maintain perfect facial hair, but inventing a “bowl haircut” for your face, aka the GoateeSaver is not the solution. How does it even stay on your face? Is it uncomfortable? Do you look like a complete tool, during and after use? Wait, I can answer that one…yes!

Lion Loves His People
I know it’s been circulating a while, but thanks to my company’s wonderful habit of blocking YouTube, I only now got to watch this video.
And tears welled up. If you haven’t seen the story of Christian the Lion, then watch and enjoy!
Keeping up with my obsession of posting all the cool abandoned places posts I find on the net, here’s a great one from Web Urbanist featuring 15 war-related ruins. The mansion in Talisay City is stunning, I wanna go there and play.
If you’re like me, you’ll love this concept of trains with private seating pods. I think it would be ideal if two people could mutually agree to open their pods together if you’re traveling together, but traveling alone is a far, far improvement over the existing “hope a stranger doesn’t molest or rob you” method of public transit. Of course, maybe I just like that idea because I’m anti-social.
The one drawback I really see as impassable, what do you do with the pervs and junkies who violate the very privacy they long for?
