A cartoon on the meaning of life, at least for 20 year old men.  (Or 40.  Or 60.  Or...)

Reminds me of a  conversation I had with the LMM, when we were first dating.

She:  "I went to Assumption College, but we would sometimes go over to Holy Cross [also in Worcester] to go the library and check out the guys."

From the comparable Scott Sumner:

"I think the Great Depression was caused by NGDP falling from $106.7 billion in 1929:3 to $49.8 billion in 1933:3. "

In other words, the Great Depression was caused by..... THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

Yikes!

Cinco de What?

Here are my favorite Cinco de Mayo songs.

First, the incomparable Liz Phair:

Next, the comparable Lil Rob:



Finally, it turns out that Obama's Spanish is even worse than Mungowitz's!

Obviamente

Binge drinking can hurt grade performance, study says.

Next up: over-eating can cause weight gain....

(Nod to Angry Alex)

(UPDATE: On the "that's why they play the game!" front, it has been pointed out that in fact the relation is NOT obvious, if one actually READS THE ARTICLE. So, does that mean I can overeat!?)
