John Tyler's Grandsons Are Still Alive!
mentalflossr:
Born in 1790, John Tyler was our 10th President. He took office in 1841 after William Henry Harrison died. And he has two living grandchildren!
Not great-great-great-grandchildren. Their dad was Tyler’s son.
How is this possible? The Tyler men have a habit of having kids very late in life. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, one President Tyler’s 15 kids, was born in 1853. He fathered Lyon...
I'm pretty sure I'm going to die today.
Well not TODAY today.
But January 25th.
I don’t know why. All I know is that every year on January 25th for AT LEAST the past ten years, I get this overwhelming feeling that I have to be somewhere. Or that I am forgetting something. Or that this day holds some sort of significance.
But it doesn’t. No family or close friends’ birthdays. No anniversaries of note. Nothing...

Darrah said she envisioned “Lepre-Con” to parallel SantaCon, which...
New Jersey Governor (and Dallas Cowboy fan) Chris... →
Still two wins away from a Super Bowl title, and the governor is talking about where the parade should be held.
Ask New England how that kind of planning works out:
Sounds like a real Cowboy fan move to me…
You can go ahead and add "It's a Kodak moment" to...

'The Expendables 2' May Be PG-13 Because Chuck... →
danhacker:
Since the real life Chuck Norris is sadly a crappier version than the fictionalized one, he’s very unhappy with the vulgar dialogue used in the screenplay for ‘The Expendables 2’ and won’t be part of the film unless the film gets cut down to PG-13.
Chuck Norris is Mr. Family Friendly (unless your gay and in which he hates you because Chuck Norris is homophobic asshole), but did...

ryking:
Someone was clearly inspired by Tumblr’s “The Gay Republican” and his (self-loathing) political kinship with Rick Santorum.
If you remember last week, I had a bit of a back and forth with Mr. Sabo. Since then, well, things got kinda interesting.
And now he’s officially a meme…
