I’ve been meaning to post this for weeks: Gallup’s “What Alabamians and Iranians Have in Common”. Among the interesting statistics contained therein…

  • Egypt is the most religious country on the planet.

  • Estonia is the least religious country on the planet.

  • Only 25% of Frenchmen (and Frenchwomen) say that religion plays an important role in their daily lives.

  • In the U.S., Louisiana’s level of religious fervor compares favorably with that of Iraq.

  • The most religious states are almost all in the South. (And then there’s Oklahoma.)

  • The least religious states–like the least religious countries–almost all require parkas in the winter. (And then there’s Nevada.)

Among the countries not surveyed: China, Greenland, Iceland, Israel, and Lebanon. But I’m pretty sure we know where most of those stand.

Just read: “It amuses me that [Katy Perry’s] shoulders are more cheerful than either of Robert [Pattinson’s] pictures, but she also appears to be threatening me with her vagina. I don’t care for that.” — GoFugYourself

I must be really tired. You know that guy thing, where you rest your non-penis-holding hand against the wall while you’re peeing? Well, I just leaned forward and put my head there. Zzzzz.

I’m not worried about the sanitary stuff. (I’m never worried about the sanitary stuff.) But I’m definitely concerned about these family-sized eyebags.

Ladies and gentlemen:

I will admit that Kim Kardashian is hot, and I will admit that she’s especially hot in a bikini. However, I dare anyone–straight or gay–to look at this photo and NOT notice the junk in Reggie Bush’s trunk:

I mean, seriously people.

This is my sister’s latest video for The Bad Shepherds (the band fronted by Adrian Edmundson, aka Vyvyan from The Young Ones). Obvs, I’m a huge fan of the Clash original, but as usual, Tiff’s animations rock. And the flute break on the song? Genius.

So apparently, the Florida legislature is debating a bill to ban bestiality:

[State Senator Nan] Rich’s legislation would target only those who derived or helped others derive “sexual gratification” from an animal, specifying that conventional dog-judging contests and animal-husbandry practices are permissible.

That last provision tripped up Miami Democratic Sen. Larcenia Bullard.

“People are taking these animals as their husbands? What’s husbandry?” she asked. Some senators stifled their laughter as Sen. Charlie Dean, an Inverness Republican, explained that husbandry is raising and caring for animals. Bullard didn’t get it.

“So that maybe was the reason the lady was so upset about that monkey?” Bullard asked, referring to a Connecticut case where a woman’s suburban chimpanzee went mad and was shot.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, on a complaint filed against the show by the conservative Parents Television Council:

“Oh, yeah. That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values — I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? — they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my dick as far as I’m concerned.”

My inner-monologue doesn’t know when to quit. It doesn’t shut up for a second, for a half-second, not even for sleep. I’m probably not the only person dealing with a really loud voice in his head, but I may be the only one who doesn’t know how to tune it out.

P.S. Just so you know, the voice in question has recently begun to sound like Kelly Clarkson. Send help.
