Aug 24, 5:00AM
You know, it's not that you wouldn't miss having the Internet on your fingertips, text messages constantly flying through the sky and a camera to document every waking moment when you live without a phone. You totally would miss all that. But what would be even more annoying is how life would turn incredibly lonely without a phone because you start to notice how everyone else is so obsessed with theirs. Ban phones. [charstarlaneTV]

Here's Funny or Die's take on the crabby people who hate on the city by the bay.

Throwback Gloves That Take You Out To the Ballgames of Yesterday
Aug 23, 9:20PM
Some would argue that professional baseball of past eras was a simpler and purer version of the game, free from controversies like player strikes or steroid use. And this line of Shoeless Joe throwback gloves, that recreate designs from as far back as 1910, could help you relive those times—even if they're named after a player who was banned from the game after the 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal. Simpler times, right?

Hospital Fined for Putting Poop Germs in Patients' Brains on Purpose
Aug 23, 8:10PM
There's a reason surgeons wear masks and gloves. The last thing you want is to get crap in someone's body. That is, unless you are one of the two UC Davis Medical Center neurosurgeons who very purposely introduced their patents' brains to poop bacteria. It was a real shit-for-brains way of trying to help.
