Eh, I lost any sympathy I may have had at "speeding in school zones."

It's definitely satire. Wanting to take away single men's right to vote and ending with Trump's sign off are obvious giveaways.

Nope, it's a French loan word. In English and French, a bloc is a political group.

I'm lactose intolerant and even I eat cheese.

Success rate isn't per time, it's per couple per year. So something with a 99.9% success rate being used by 1000 opposite sex couples will have one of those couples expecting by this time next year. This also assumes that they're having sex pretty regularly in a way where the contraceptive would be relevant. The odds of it working per session are much higher than the stated 99.9%.

The usefulness of a smart fridge always seemed dubious to me, but why the hell is the refrigeration part managed by the smart part? It's literally just a pump.

They had all that free marketting from people assuming the third one would be the 720 and they ditched it in favor of calling it the Xbox One, which everyone was already using for the name of the first Xbox. Still baffled by that one.

The best bit about the mint and chocolate thing is that chocolate is also poison, so we spice up our poison with more poison.

Specifically, she wrote the 2013 game and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Studio and publisher interference on Rise was so pervasive that she permanently quit writing for AAA games and someone else took over for Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

I imagine Alaska being red is more about dying from the cold than the law.

His comics counterpart didn't even have good intentions of any kind. He just wanted to sleep with Death and thought that being the biggest mass murderer in history would be a turn on for her.

Turns out most PMs weren't actually private since site admins and mods could see them, so they switched to 'direct message' as a more honest description.

Judging by the last part of the article, he really might not have.

On July 21, 1950, Woods was accidentally electrocuted when he tried to change a light bulb while standing in a pool of water. He was buried in Toronto Township Cemetery, Toronto, Kansas.
