The high sea is

Even better: I noticed that one of the pages that link to this image of Captain Sullenberger's famous river landing◊ was "dating". I nosed on over, expecting great entertainment. It did not disappoint.

Haha, Mike A's is my favourite so far.

"Paul Asay of Plugged In noted that lyrics reflect the happenings of a day, in the life of a teenager like Black, like eating breakfast and going to school.[18] "She's excited 'cause it's Friday. Which means a weekend full of possibility awaits," he concluded"

From the laser article.

"A leather jacket is a type of clothing, a jacket made of leather."

Well, Wikipedia is known for its high degree of factual accuracy...

It's obviously for working in the potholes in the first sentence.

Really? Damn, I always thought leather jackets were made out of recycled pig snouts.

"[Joey Richter] has discussed the possibility of doing a cover of the song "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from the Nickelodeon cartoon, Fairly Odd Parents." It should be noted that this was joked about in an interview where a fan said he looked like Chip Skylark.

Should I ask Man Without A Body to read this stuff?

If only if there was a ^{[citation needed]} next to that sentence...

Done.

You are awful, you know that?

I undid it.

"A study has shown that men like to look at women's breasts,[69] and another study showed that men prefer symmetrical breasts[70] but some studies show men preferring large, firm breasts,[71][72] while a contradictory study of British undergraduates found men preferring small breasts on women.[73] Cross-culturally, another study found "high variability" regarding the ideal breast size.[73]"

So Phoenix Nights was inspired by real events?

"However, some 19th century research experiments suggested that the underlying premise is true, provided the frog is brainless or the heating is gradual enough."

According to early and the most recent reports, Asiri's older brother had hidden one pound of PETN plastic explosives in his anal canal, which security experts described as a novel technique.

First off, Abdulmutallab the Underwear Bomber, you got one-upped. And secondly, an entire pound of PETN? Holy shit!

The Sporting News reported polling their staff with the question "What best summarizes your feelings for Scooter, FOX's talking baseball?", and 45% of responders chose the answer "Send him to a slow, painful death."[5]

It is performed in the key of B major at a tempo of 112 beats per minute. According to Randy Lewis of Los Angeles Times, the familiar structure contributes to the song's catchiness, making it an "earworm".[14] The song also sees Black on a harmony track.[15] In a review for Rolling Stone, writer Matthew Perpetua described the vocals as having "a peculiar tonality that inadvertently highlights the absurdity of boilerplate pop lyrics," adding that the tone in the refrain "sounds unlike anything else in pop music." He noted the sound as being not entirely agreeable to listen to, but stated that Black ultimately ends up "sounding like a distinct singer with an alluring sort of anti-charisma."[6] The lyrics of the song speak about "hanging out with friends and having fun."[16]

It's funny when they can't think of a concise title.

Very Leonard of Quirm.
