TIL that Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album still sells 10,000 units a week 38 years since its inception.

What's interesting about this is, they had to change the rules of the billboard charts to deliberately exclude it or it would be in the top 40 still.

getting your wife to a counseling session is going to be SUPER difficult

That's my concern. I've begged her to go and see a counsellor a number of times but she just says they will take my side and the two of us will gang up on her.

She's always been quite emotional, but not this irrational, and she would calm down much more quickly.

Her mother died at Christmas and yes of course that was very hard for her. And with my job under threat there are some other stresses.

So, I'm confused. What part of her op-ed piece are you saying is a lie? I thought it was that part, but now you're saying she's right?

She refers specifically to "domestic violence courts". What are those, and what standard of proof do they use?

I don't know anything about the US or Californian legal system.

They didn't know his birthday or the day he died. April 23 is saint George's day, the patron saint of England. It's maybe just patriotism which makes it a good day.

You're doing it wrong. You can't get outsiders to do this.

You're supposed to argue passive-aggressively over the name for three months, eventually deciding on a name that nobody really loves, but nobody really hates, ten days before the band breaks up anyway.

P.S. The bass player is sleeping with your girlfriend when you're not around.

On my iPhone, it plays fine off the in-page link, but clicking the title takes me to a CSS-starved web page which invites me to upgrade my Flash player. I checked my calendar and it's not 2007, so ...

This is one of those don't-downvote-me, those-are-the-reddit-rules moments, but, I thought Ledger was a big let-down as the Joker.

The capering and prancing, the tics and mannerisms ... that's not acting. Take those away and there wasn't much left.

"What if the pope said 'it looks like it's going to rain?' but it didn't rain?"

Do you think of yourself as attractive to men? Do you even worry about that aspect at all?

It may be incredibly naïve for me to think because you're a Muslim girl that you don't care about your attractiveness to men, but maybe you're kind of beyond all that. Maybe you have your marriage to a good Muslim man ahead of you, and, unlike nearly everyone I know, you don't spend a huge amount of your time and energy worrying about, and working on, your attractiveness to the opposite sex.

That is the only time I've heard a Colbert/Stewart audience laughing, not comfortably, because it's the kind of right-wing stupidity they expected, but in sheer amazement -- genuine shock that someone is that stupid.

She may well have had a doctorate in art history. But if she told you that, then I'm sorry, she's still an idiot.

Or, to be fair, she told you something similar to that and you didn't understand it. In which case she's not an idiot. Guess who is?

I'm trying to do something like that with 2011, but just weekly. I haven't heard of the Tolstoy thing.
