#1672 Women on 20s I get that there are security reasons for the schedule, but this is like the ONE problem we have where the right answer is both easy and straightforward. If we can't figure it out, maybe we should just give up and just replace all the portraits on the bills with that weird pyramid eye thing.
#1673 Timeline of Bicycle Design I'll be honest--the 1950s were a rough time for cycling.
#1674 Adult (1) That shopping cart is full of AirHeads, and (2) I died at 41 from what the AirHeads company spokesperson called 'probably natural causes.'
#1675 Message in a Bottle I tried to send a message back, but I accidentally hit 'reply all' and now the ocean is clogged with message bottles.
#1676 Full-Width Justification Gonna start bugging the Unicode consortium to add snake segment characters that can be combined into an arbitrary-length non-breaking snake.

#1686 Feel Old 'How long are you going to keep this up?' 'Statistically, only four or five more decades.'
#1687 World War III+ I hate how the media only ever uses the first part of this quote, stripping it of its important context.
