Holy Shit! Mother Jones [motherjones.com] finally realized Singapore is a country! For the past 4 years I’ve been without Mother Jones because whoever does the online ordering system did not include Singapore in the list of countries you could choose for your address.

Goat Titty Beer
Or, why the Vikings were willing to die:
From the über useful “20 Things Worth Knowing About Beer” [theoatmeal.com]. I guess the Viking reign of terror in northern Europe can be lumped in with the crazy guys who think they are getting 72 virgins. Really, it’s too bad they can’t drink alcohol, ’cause they’re going to need an endless supply of beer to deal with 72 non-virgin girlfriends after they have their fun with them.
