Radiohead was voted the world's best band at the annual Q music awards, chosen by readers of Britain's Q magazine, winning the prize for the third consecutive year.
Readers of Q had selected Radiohead over Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blur.

I love wondering how a magazine decides, "Well, these are obviously the five best bands in the whole world in everyone's opinion, so our readers should choose from these five."

Wow, I was definitely suprised when I read this article.

This is for my "Numbers Assignment." We had to shoot two completely different shots based on the last digit of our Social Security Number.

Want a foolproof way to turn $1 a day into $67,815? It doesn't take a lot of money or time or personal sacrifice. There's no magic, no multilevel marketing and no salesman will call at your door.

In fact, it's the simplest and most-proven way to get richer, and if you extend this concept to other parts of your life, you could end up with an enviable retirement nest egg.

To start, all you have to do is take your pocket change at the end of the day and drop it in a jar. If you can do that, and you put away about $1 a day, that's just $7 a week. At the end of the month, you'll have about $30.

Do that many people really have an entire dollar worth of change in their pocket at the end of every day? Normally when I take the change out of my pocket to put it into my piggy bank, it's about 18 cents or something.

Read this article and notice how they try to make four percent sound like AN ASTONISHINGLY HIGH FOUR PERCENT. In most cases in this article, I think the stats are pretty weak, when one side is separated from the other by only four or five percent.

While Britney was spotted by the paparazzi recently kissing Columbus Short [one of her dancers], her reps claim that she was merely rehearsing her now-famous smooch with Madonna. But according to friends close to Columbus and his estranged wife [who separated from him after the kissing incident], they believe the two will divorce if he remains in Britney's company.

Rehearsing a play? Studying for anatomy class? I'd say they should have come up with something more imaginitive. "Oh yeah, I'm just going to rehearse my open-mouth lesbian kiss with this guy who is married and has a pregnant wife." That makes sense.

This is from an article about a survey of 25 fast-food restaurants in the US, judging the restaurant on their drive-thru. They judged on factors like order accuracy and quickness. The top 10 overall rankings this year, with last year’s in parentheses: 1. Chick-fil-A (1), 2. Taco Bell (3), 3. Wendy’s (2), 4. Burger King (5), 5. El Pollo Loco (13), 5. Jack In The Box Inc. (10), 7. Taco John’s (20), 8. Arby’s (6), 9. KFC (19) and 10. Checkers Drive-In Restaurants Inc. (8).
Taco Bell is #2? They must not have gone to any of the Taco Bells I go to, especially the one in Henrietta. That place takes SO LONG and one time I asked for a Grilled Stuft Burrito with no meat and extra rice and they gave it to me with beef and barely any rice. And some of those places... Chick-fil-A? Where the heck are those?

I got an email today telling me to "fatten [my] man-sword." You know, I've always been tempted...

Wow. And I thought my parents overreacted when I asked for a car.

"What, are you gay?"

I'm going to start experimenting with music. For example, right now I am going to start downloading Prodigy songs and listen to nothing but Prodigy until I freak out. We'll see how that goes.

Update: The Prodigy thing lasted until 11:17. Turns out I hate every Prodigy song except "Breathe."

I am incredibly sad and lonely right now, but I am still 100% glad that I don't have some yay-hoo roommate.

Sweet, I got a hit for "flanders penis."

I know it's because I'm a complete dork, but this article almost makes me cry.

I'm supposed to be in this class until 6, but I am doing absolutely nothing. I have been on the internet for the past half hour, and I just keep thinking about how I could be outside, shooting for my assignment that's due tomorrow. Should I just leave?

I have hit the wall.
