A trivia question, courtesy of the original Trivial Pursuit Genus edition, still found in millions of dusty closets and communal game rooms around the world:

What Russian city used to be called St. Petersburg and Petrograd?

If you said “Uhh…St. Petersburg?”, I’m sorry, you’re wrong.

It’s Leningrad. The correct answer is Leningrad.

This is a can of shaving gel.

It features a rust-proof bottom.

It works pretty well.

Oh sweet unholy Uranus, what in the hell is that?

Very soon, two Internet Blacklist bills will be voted on in the US Senate and House of Representatives. These bills are known as the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, and they would be incredibly damaging to the Internet as a whole. As such, it is exceedingly important that these bills do not pass. In an effort to help prevent the bills from passing, One Foot Tsunami is participating in a blackout spanning much of the web.

Please learn more about these bills in this video and through the EFF. If you’re an American citizen, take action by contacting your local politicians through the EFF link. Urge your senators and congressman to vote against these dangerous, unnecessary bills.

Five years ago yesterday, Apple unveiled the very first iPhone. Two months earlier, this photo was snapped with a Sony Ericsson T637, at one of New England’s Building #19 discount stores¹.

Three Questions for This Typo-tastic Sign

• Even without the typo, who exactly wants a sign that just says “Apple Pies” anyway?

• Can you believe cell phone cameras were ever this bad?

Footnotes:

1. Phones (and their cameras) have changed a lot since then, but Building 19′s website hasn’t.   ↩

Yes, neither line starts at zero. No, that’s not a mistake.

So I think we should only get 3 honks a month on the car horn, because people honk the car horn too much. 3 honks, that’s the limit. And then someone cuts you off, you press your horn and nothing happens. You’re like “SHIT, I wish I wouldn’t have seen Ricky, on the sidewalk!”

Can you tell I live near a major intersection?

Look at the lack of foresight here. Sure, I can pay my $218.10 bill without a problem, but what the hell am I supposed to do when I run up a hundred billion dollar credit card bill?

It’s like Y2K all over again.

God bless us, every one.
