I was flipping through the comments on this fabulous recipe for homemade oreos and I came across this gem.

It took me until the end to realize that this particular comment was a fake. Hilarious.
I used to watch beauty pageants all the time when I was a kid, so I enjoyed catching up with Miss USA's really subtle national costume!
Remember how I told you that our beef comes from Australia, New Zealand, or Brazil? I always feel a little guilty buying meat from some place so far away. Maybe I shouldn't.

I'll leave you with two long articles that freaked me right the heck out. The first one is about - stay with me here - the unusually large number of Hmong immigrants who die during their sleep, possibly due in part to their religious beliefs.
The second one is about the earthquake and tsunami that could someday hit the west coast. I grew up on stories like this, but that doesn't make the article any less terrifying to me. [HT Kathy]
