Help!
What does this stand for? N = C + {fb(cm) · fb(tc)} + fb(Ts) + fc · ta. Apparently, it’s the scientific formula for the perfect bacon sandwich. I read the full article, “The Perfect Bacon Sandwich Decoded: Crisp and Crunchy”, and I don’t know whether to laugh or to be amazed. I guess both.

Comics are for moms too!
I love reading sexy mom’s blog. The net is already too full of whiny blogs about “how the world is so unjust and unfair blah, blah, blah…” written by “emo” teenagers, that reading about the funny, sweet (and sometimes tart), and poignant stories from a mother’s point of view is definitely refreshing!

The...

I sort of stumbled upon this site for a Capsule Inn in Akihabara, the Electronic Town of Tokyo. Picture taken from: Capsuleinn.com The inn is comprised of public areas (a lounge and baths) and private ones (rooms for the males and those of the females are on different floors). The lounge has vending...
