It looks as though there's going to be a remake of the 1968 classic Barbarella, with Sydney Sweeny in the title role. 8-5 it's going to suck.

Apparently, it turns out that Graham Linehan's autobiography is the funniest thing he's written in decades. And for all the wrong reasons...
Seriously, I haven't seen anyone write about their own lives with such little self-awareness since I went through Elliot Rodger's manifesto.

Darker Note: It turns out Benadryl is a legitimately terrifying drug. One that's somehow highly addictive without actually creating any positives for recreational use. And to think that there's still 26 states where recreational marijuana is illegal (Plus every other nation besides Canada, Georgia, Germany, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, and Uruguay), and meanwhile, you can just buy this over the counter. (Warning: Heavy drug-related shit and Heavy Yorkshire accents ahead.)
Lighter note: Somehow, Lisa Whelchel (Blair from The Facts of Life) doesn't seem to have aged a day since before I was born:

Turns out that pint mugs don't actually have to have the same capacity.
Long Story: Dad and I were running low on glasses, and so we bought some. But we accidentally bought two different sets of four. The second one, although sturdier, was smaller, and I checked their capacities with just a scale, the mugs, and a pitcher of water. The first batch could hold 602 mL of water, and the second, 578 mL (accounting for some small spillage). Then again, at least they're both larger than an actual pint (even an imperial pint).

Seen it mentioned on plenty of Asian programs.
Gimbap (Korean: 김밥; lit. Gim rice; IPA: [kim.p͈ap̚]), also romanized as kimbap, is a Korean dish made from cooked rice, vegetables, fish, and meat rolled in gim—dried sheets of seaweed—and served in bite-sized slices.[1] The origins of gimbap are debated. Some sources suggest it originates from Japanese norimaki, introduced during Japanese colonial rule,[2][3][4][5] while others argue it is a modernized version of bossam from the Joseon era.

The Lancet tells me that there is a syphilis epidemic in the gay community of British Colombia.
