So, I can get past the supposition that there is a family of bears. I can get past the supposition that these bears talk. And that they have built a home. And eat cooked porridge. And sleep in beds.
I can accept all that as a fabrication of an anthropomorphic story.
But I simply can't accept that Mama Bear's (no, not Mamma Bear) porridge was too cold. See, Mama Bear's bowl was the middle size: smaller than Papa's and larger than Baby's. It makes thermodynamic sense that Papa Bear's porridge was too hot, since it was the largest bowl. But Baby Bear's porridge would be the coolest if each bowl was left to sit out and cool uninhibited. Mama Bear's bowl would have to be under a fan or on ice or something to have cooled down the temperature of her porridge below Baby Bear's.

The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names. To find out your new name, follow the three steps below:

r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie

f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey

3. Use the third letter of your real last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

Mad TV, in another video spoof, hits a homerun with this parody of Gwen Stephani's Sweet Escape. Listen to the words - it is so worth it!!

Do you know how to get from New York to London? Let Google Maps show you! Just click on the "Get Directions" tab and type "New York" for your start address, "London" as your end address. ... do it now, I'll wait ... So, maybe you don't have that much vacation time available? Perhaps you can cut some time off step #23. :-D

In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, Google added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor. Visit Google Moon to see some great lunar images. Don't forget to zoom all the way in to see the actual surface of the Moon!
