3 Most Awesome Craigslist Missed Connections

Taking a look at Craigslist just the other day, a section caught my eye that I never noticed before: Missed Connections.  I had no idea what to expect when I entered it.  Right from the start, I knew this place was going to be great as I was greeted by a "warning & disclaimer" asking if I am 18 years old and if I know about safe sex.  At this point, I could only assume that it was a section trying to find the mothers and fathers of abandoned babies, most likely started by Maury Povich.  I was wrong and disappointed, but that didn't mean there was no entertainment value in reading these postings.  Some were cute, "Looking for a woman that struck my heart when she let me go ahead of her in line," and some were just rape-like observations, "Saw you jogging in the park while sitting on a bench."

"I saw you jogging in the park as I sat on the park bench
exactly 100 feet from the elementary school."

Why Skipping Myspace And Going Straight To Facebook Ruined My Life

Facebook connects over a billion people, which is mind blowing because it's only nine years old.  Myspace, on the other hand, is ten years old and connects about 50 people who refuse to switch to Facebook.  Oh, and there's Friendster, which connects nobody at all.  It's these drastic differences that made me join Facebook first, well, not really, I was one of those kids, back in high school, who was coaxed into joining Facebook.  Yes, I did have the option of joining Myspace at the time, but people convinced me to join Facebook, so I skipped the bunny social network and went straight to the black diamond.

I should have tried Myface first, the only offline social network.

"Like" My Facebook Photo - My Quest To One Million "Likes"

Well, it was inevitable, a new Facebook fad has emerged for attention whores and basement dwellers to make friends, or get popular, same thing.  The new thing everybody is doing is posting pictures of, "Like this and this will happen or you will die."  A spin-off of those pictures are the, "One million 'Likes' and I will get to do this!"  Whether the activity is having sex or curing cancer (yes, curing cancer), so many people have the fallacy that "liking" a picture will get you places.  I would be willing to bet that there is some mental disorder related to trying to be the most popular person, or having the most popular picture, by creating something visually loud, deceitful, dramatic, and peer-approved.  Oh wait, isn't that the exact definition of histrionic personality disorder?

The Perils of Online Dating

If you ask someone what their main goals are in life, the majority of people will say love and happiness or mention some kind of achievement or activity that will correlate to those feelings. What many others will also admit is that finding love and happiness are one in the same, but such a task is easier said than done.

But in taking on such an endeavor, one must be truly aware of what lurks in the depths of dating sites and the perils that can result. Heed these following warnings and tips presented in this post, they have been well researched and delivered with varying degrees of truthfulness.

A Smuggler of Epic Proportions

Breaking news unearthed a man who has been selling dinosaur fossils illegally to museums and whoever else would want to buy a dinosaur.  Eric Prokopi, a native of Florida, has been charged with illegally importing the fossils to the United States from Mongolia and faces up to 35 years in prison.  His operation has been called a "one-man black market in prehistoric fossils."

Dinosaur bones?  Right next to the AK-47s and kidneys.

If a man went through the trouble of smuggling several full size dinosaurs, mainly a Tarbosaurus (which is the size of a T-rex, which, from my no knowledge of smuggling, is a pretty damn big package size), to another country, I would be more impressed than anything.  Just the fact that he got a hold of a dinosaur is impressive.

I can only assume it looked something like this.

Blog I hate. Blogs I love.

I don't read blogs, I just have one.  While searching for blogs to start reading, I came across three that caught my eye.  Best of Picfoolery, Stuff White People Like, and The Problem with Young People Today Is....  The purpose of this post is to inform you of which blogs are worth reading and which one is almost not even worth mentioning.

I'm going to start with the bad blog.  Sometimes I read something that is so bad that I feel like I have lost knowledge.  I cannot even wrap my head around why this blog exists and why Al Gore hasn't taken it off his Internet yet.  But, I feel like it is my duty to inform people about this blog so they do not make the same mistake I did by reading it.  This sorry excuse of Internet space is the infamous Best of Picfoolery.

Yeah baby, feet are hysterical.
