I'm so hungry I could eat a mythological creature.

I ran across this story today at CNN.com This dad did the right thing by standing up to his child. Kids are not in charge- parents are. It's that way because parents know better what kids really need. This man's son obviously needs to learn that sometimes you just can't have what you want...

Take a look at this article: Nurse Refuses to Give CPR to Dying Woman I'm not posting the article to avoid copyright infringement. Basically, a nurse at a retirement facility encountered an elderly woman who was not breathing. Following company policy, she called 911 for assistance, but...

I really love the character Green Arrow, so I'm excited that there's a show about him now. Here's a trailer! I haven't started watching yet, so I'm really hoping they keep his outsider persona intact. He's probably best described as a B-list Justice League member. If you haven't seen...

This is one of the best ironic stories I've seen recently. A boy scout leader decided to knock over a natural rock formation. For lulz. Of course, it was all caught on video. The irony is that just a few weeks prior, he had started a lawsuit claiming total disability. So not only was he...

So I tried to take advice from other threads and sites and came up with a list of parts for a computer. I may end up not needing all these. I'm planning on using the same case. The fan, power supply, and hard drive may be salvageable. I haven't looked to see what components I have that are any...

After converting $75K into gold bars, a gold farmer loses her house, business, and is sued After a lengthy and very weird legal battle, the case of Katrina Fincham, the golf farmer turned gold buyer turned victim, versus insurance company AAMI, has finally come to an end following an...

Take a look at this picture. You are seeing Jacques Van Hamsterveil, the villain from Disney's Stitch the Movie!, circa 2003. His personality is that of an evil scientist that is plotting to enslave the world, or destroy it. Whichever...

This was something that came up in another thread, but it was off-topic. So putting it here I think that's too much of a generalization. There are certainly beggars that act as you describe, but I think the vast majority of the TRULY homeless (vs those just pretending to be) are not in that...

I tried to tag Madie in my profile to give her credit for my avie, but it doesn't seem to work. I guess it doesn't make a ton of sense to tag others in your profile. I just thought I'd mention it.

I came across an interesting cultural norm today on my way to lunch. It all started when a sweet looking, 60 something year old Oriental woman broke a cultural norm. She began to sing softly to herself on the elevator. Elevators, as we all seem to know, are places where you stand quietly with...

I want to get caught up on my WoW lore. I stopped playing just before Cata, so I'm out of touch. I don't plan to play, but I enjoy the storyline. Can anyone catch me up or tell me a good place to read up?

According to an op ed written by Vladamir Putin, no one is exceptional, especially not Americans. He writes, My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather...

This photo has been confirmed by NASA to be a true sighting of Spacefrog as he blasts into the unknown. Godspeed, Spacefrog!

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are going to be in Avengers 2! I really like Scarlet Witch, but can take or leave Pietro. I suspect they won't be delving deeply into their paternity. With Ultron as the main villain, there isn't much room for a Magneto. Or maybe Magneto swoops in at the last...

This is pretty crazy, but it is India. So who knows? http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/08/23/baby-who-allegedly-catches-fire-to-be-monitored-by-child-rights-activists/?intcmp=obnetwork

[Edit: Moved these posts to a new thread.] Have you ever jolted awake screaming something? I remember one time I sat bolt upright and screamed "AUSTIN!!" Which was the name of a guy in class in high school. We weren't even friends really.

Every year my company hosts a tent at the American Royal World Series of BBQ. Included is all you can eat, world-class BBQ. Here's the guy that's going to be cooking it for us: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/08/26/4437240/local-barbecue-pro-wins-50000.html If you haven't seen the BBQ...

I just got my beta invite for Hearthstone! For those that don't know, it's Blizz's new online TCG that's based on WoW. It looks like a ton of fun and I'd like to play with fellow Tabbers. You can sign up for beta at battle.net. There's also a bunch of videos of it on youtube, such as-

I've been meaning to do this for awhile now. I don't know anything about computers, so I'm wondering if my current computer will be able to handle WS without major lag or display issues. I don't care about running the game at optimal HD settings, I just want to be able to see the telegraphs and...
