how are swimmers smashing so many world records?
dihard:
Have you noticed that every Olympic swim event is also a record smasher? It seems like every swimmer (and not just Phelps) is seconds ahead of the daunting green world record line, smashing it to smithereens. So how is all this smashing possible?

Let's not forget that water is good for us...
I’m a bit puzzled by the recent flood of “bottled water is creating waste and is therefore evil” ads I’ve been seeing on TV and popping up in a few tumblrs I follow. Why is everyone picking on water all of a sudden?! Yes, it’s trendy and cool to now drink bottled water but shouldn’t it get at least a little credit for replacing a few of the BILLIONS of sodas we...

Five things you can do with your cell phone:

2. Locked your keys in the car and the spare is at home or with a friend? Call that person on their cell phone with your cell phone, then hold your phone about a foot from your car door. Have your buddy press the unlock button holding it near the cell phone on their end. Your car will unlock, no matter how far away your buddy is. Beats waiting for AAA…

Summertime blues?
I don’t know exactly what it is but I’ve been fighting this blah feeling for awhile. I think I’m going to blame summer. Maybe because I love summer so much I feel it can take the hit. Stupid summer…stop making me feel like crap! Bleh.

The Future of Romance
lfarm:
A friend and I were discussing at lunch the seeming death of romance among young people in their 20’s. I hadn’t really given it much thought until she posed the question: “When is the last time a guy put in the effort to plan an evening of surprises, or cooked a dinner, or found a fun event for you two to do together?” Or for that matter, when did I? I don’t expect those sorts of things...

One Sentence - True stories, told in one sentence. →
travors:
One Sentence is about telling your story, briefly. Insignificant stories, everyday stories, or turning-point-in-your-life stories, boiled down to their bare essentials.
This is one of my favourite web finds in a while. It’s difficult not to reblog half the site.
Amen to that! Here’s an example:
