Hey Hikers,
If you want to read a blog of someone on the Appalachian Trail - I mean, he's on it RIGHT NOW - check out Teddy Nutmeg's Tired, Wed, Dirty and Happy
He only blogs once in a while - because he's hiking! - but when he does, man, there's some good stuff there.
It makes me feel pretty goddamn lazy...but also thankful to be inside.
And not have a boil.
Seriously.

Facebook Launches Search Engine to Compete with Google
Somewhere in the interwebs...
Reuters (and other hard-to-pronounce news services) are reporting* today that Facebook has entered the search engine world with the unveiling of Fook, the Facebook search engine.
"It's not so much a 'search engine' per say, as it is a tool to connect people with information on the internet," said Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerburg, hands still bloodied from decapitating a chicken earlier in the day.
When asked what differentiated the new search engine from Google or Bing, Zuckerberg was a bit more cagey.
"I basically took a close look at both of those designs, then took the idea that these two twin Olympic rowers had, and meshed them into a totally original concept unlike anything seen before on the internet."
Critics, initially skeptical, remembered that Zuckerberg was a billionaire and declared the project a success.
Online articles that attempted a sliver of objectivity concerning the launch of the new search engine have also flocked to Zuckerberg's corner, with the recent announcement by Zuckerberg that he will give money to websites that praise the new search engine, and bash his competitors.
Google responded by being really lame, as always.
Use Fook. It's really cool.
Seriously.

Top 5 Funnest Activities for 4th of July
Top 5 Funnest Activities for 4th of July
1. Hanging out by the pool with shirt on while watching the girls who made a conscious effort to stay in shape for the summer prance around in swimsuits. Good work, ladies.
2. Beer.
3. BBQ.
4. Fireworks.
5. Ignoring American History and pretending that our country WASN'T founded by a bunch of slave-owning aristocrats who didn't want to pay taxes.
Yeah, they loved freedom. The freedom to own other people.
Pass the Ruffles.
I mean, Happy 4th!
