Man pitches no-hitter while on LSD.
Barry Bonds? I'd hit him at least once a game.

I didn't read the article, but I wouldn't completely knock homeschooling. The schools are so crappy around where I live, that you either have to send your kid to a private school or homeschool if you can't pony up the cash.

It's not homeschool, but the people described in the article

Ok, and as long as he can still read a script convincingly (very debatable from his recent performances) does it matter? I pity him for the loss of his mind, but there have to be more important things in the world than a raving actor.

I never understood why people cared about what actors do outside of making movies. Actors don't even represent a social norm. It's pointless unless they do something else in addition to acting. Let's take California's governor. At least what he does in office affects me, and his personal views affect what he does in office, so listening to what he has to say helps me decide whether I want to vote for him or not. At no point does that have anything to do with his acting, and as soon as he's out of office, I'll stop caring about what he has to say completely.

I care because he's talking about a subject he knows nothing about yet acting like he's some kind of expert instead of just an idiot actor and Scientology drone.

Vitamins and exercise will cure depression? Hah. And yet there are people out there stupid enough to believe it just because Tom Cruise said so.

Wow, how did you find that? All I found was a bunch of restricted hosts.

I know people are stupid but ...
For example, he says, to work out what 4 x -5 is, people tend to key in 4 x - 5, and so end up with the result -1.
I wonder what country this is from.

Of particular note is Seanbaby's "Vixens who like Vixens." (Note: may contain digitally rendered boobies.) I particularly enjoy the fighting game scenes.

Pretty much the best flash toy that isn't a game ever. Contains one vaguely humanoid bikini-clad lady.

"Don't stare directly at the flops, you may start believing they matter."

Pretty vicious savaging of next-gen consoles based on anonymous reports from developers. I recall similar things being said about the PS2.
