Forgot an auld acquaintance: A year-end poll finds that 4 in 10 Americans want to be with their spouse on New Year’s Eve, while 13 percent would choose a significant other or romantic interest.
After the poll, 4 in 10 Americans apologized for telling a pollster their spouse was neither significant nor a romantic interest.
It’s why I won’t swim in the Snake River: About 70 people were injured in a piranha attack when they went swimming — and this probably should have tipped them off — in Argentina’s Parana River, suffering “serious bites to their extremities.”
Here’s why those taking part in polar bear swims on New Year’s Day are a little less crazy: They probably won’t thaw until April, but they will still have their “extremities.”
Do not feed the trolls: Media websites have found it necessary to keep a tighter rein on online discussions because of abusive comments fostered by Internet anonymity. YouTube now requires commenters to register through Google Plus, which limits the users’ anonymity.
