My favorite old guy to be

Number one would have to be the late George Carlin. I think there are few things more important than freedom of speach, and he is the epitomy of that. I also believe there is way too much bullshit out there, and Carlin was the ultimate no-bullshit-fuck-you guy, but here's the kicker: it was never cheap, it was never stupid, it was always the truth. His speed of thought was mind-blowing. 

As a backup I'd pick Roger Waters. Of course, he's an egomaniacal fuck, but - I won't even get started on his brilliancy - what work ethic! I've had the good fortune to see three of his concerts and holy shit they just keep getting better, even as he approaches 70! His voice is incredible and he simply does not take fans for granted - the passion is still there. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan's voice makes me sad these days (maybe genes play a part here), and he makes sure you won't be able to sing along to shit, because every song has been remade into a bizarre new version that no one knows. And also fuck you, you don't even get to see him, because apparently your $150 are not enough to get a screen on stage!

Doomsday for my fridge

So I just moved in with two flatmates and they brought a fridge. One day they'd gone away for the weekend and I was trying to make the fridge colder, and there was this round thing just screaming "PRESS ME!!" near the door, so I pressed it, and it turned out to be the defrost button, and only then did I find the instructions that said it was irreversible! What the fuck, is this like that with every fridge? You touch something and now for the next 14 hours your fridge is gonna be turned off until it decides it has thawed enough to ruing your day. So now I know what the button does, and it's always visible, and I can't forget about it, and I often just touch it and slowly apply some pressure that is the closest I can get to moving it without actually starting the defrost process. It's quite sick, but I don't actually do it, because once I do I know there is that sense of inevitability that you have throughout Dr. Strangelove - although in this case it's just regarding ice melting, not the nuclear apocalypse.

This is really deep and genius.

The easiest, cheapest, best thing you can do for your health, no matter when, no matter what, always

Disclaimer: I do not have a degree on nutrition or anything like that. I have, however, read the undisputed science on this, and this shit is really not rocket science.

So, let's just get this out of the way, that by doing some simple math I found that you can get almost all the nutrients you need for a day by eating a can of sardines, 100g  of spinach, and 30 to 100g of peanuts (this is variable because peanuts are loaded with calories, so don't eat a lot if you have trouble controlling your weight). Just go to nutritiondata.self and do the math yourself. If you ate nothing but these 3 things for the rest of your life you would never have a vitamin defficiency. In fact this might have saved the life of a few models, who died not just because they were not getting enough energy, but because they ate like only lettuce and diet coke, without watching out for whether they were getting vitamins. But anyway.

Now, what I'm saying is, depending on how your day goes, where you work, how much you've eaten, etc., eating these 3 foods may not be convenient, or maybe you will get fucking sick of eating sardines every day, and you want steak this time - I get it. Or maybe you're a little sick at home and have two pizzas in the fridge and end up eating them both, and then you can't really eat peanuts without overstepping your daily calorie allotment.

But what you can always do is have spinach in the fridge, and boil it to kill potential e. coli, and just swallow that shit up - close your eyes if you have to, it's just a second. Wash it down with whatever horrible sugary or alcoholic drink you're having, but just do it. I don't know about out there, but here in Brazil spinach costs USD 0.50 for a week or two's worth. So shut up, don't think about it. There are no excuses and there will never be. Here is what you find about spinach on that website I mentioned:

Spinach has no calories, no sugar, no fat, it's anti-inflammatory and packed with vitamins and minerals. There is no sensible diet that outlaws it. Just look at those numbers for yourself. Just do it, hide it in a sandwich, whatever.

Vegetables are not all the same. Just look at the numbers for some other vegetables and you'll see what I mean. Spinach is quite special in that it has high doses of some essential nutrients, and it's like free! Come on now. Look at how ridiculous an apple looks next to spinach:

Casamento gay

Será que eu conheço alguém contrário ao casamento gay? Quem são essas pessoas com essa mentalidade de século XIX? Em que esgoto elas se escondem?

Awesome infographical video by the New York Times, showing how far behind yesterday's Usain Bolt every other medal winner since 1896 would be at the moment he reached the finish line.

This is amazing. Two versions here - I guess I prefer the first song, but the second one has its moments.

Just found out about this guy, because he's a chess aficionado like myself. This is one of the best table tennis points ever played.
