  1. Family Guy summed up #2 best: “… she’ll pretty much have to”

    (DISCLAIMER: I do not personally condone that thought towards women … I just think the clip is hilarious.)

  2. For gamers, the term “Triple A” is another Marketing Ploy that almost everyone fell for. Some how having big studio with modest budget translated to quality but that’s far from the truth. It’s a form of hype which many seldom like to admit to.

  3. Well, when my tap water stops burning my eyes and tasting like shit I’ll stop getting scammed by Ozarka.

  4. All gem-quality materials are rare. They compose just a tiny fraction of the Earth. However, diamonds actually number among the most common gems. … While we have much to learn about the Earth’s interior, our current knowledge of gem formation indicates that diamonds are likely the most common gem in nature.

    Not only is the demand for diamonds a marketing invention, but diamonds aren’t actually that rare. Only by carefully restricting the supply has De Beers kept the price of a diamond high.
