I enjoy the "news you can't use" just to change things up here once in awhile if nothing else. Maybe it could become a series labeled "useless facts for cocktail parties" or something similar. Maybe then the news wouldn't be so unusable.
The most interesting thing about this post is it was assigned to three categories … but remember it's news you cannot use!

Pig Sex on Demise! That one surely amazed me. Pigs not knowing how to have sex. You posts always tells me (and my fellow followers for sure!)something that I don't know.

Oh Yeah! And about the texting while driving, I totally think we need to control ourselves. I myself does it, sometimes I go out of the house telling myself not to text while driving but the moment my phone beeps, I just cant help it.

P.S. It would be great if you can post tips on how to stop this seemingly safe but extremely dangerous texting while driving thing? I just cant self-police myself!

Haha, "farmers aren't breeding pigs that know how to have sex." That's a beautiful line. The part-time law partner idea is pretty interesting to me. We and my partner just started our law firm and the whole "part-time" idea is sounding pretty good at this point! :)

Oh and I love the blog, gonna keep checking back.

In my point of view women should work just like men do, and that becomes a reason to less marriages and more singles. As you referred in the post real marriages became less and living together more. Living together is simply easier.
Funny post, but true.

Don't think that, just because something was not immediately useful or doesn't relate to something else, that it wasn't useful. Knowing three facts about a lot of things makes it a lot easier to get through life.

Re texting while driving……What is your reaction to the drinker who says, sure, I understand the issue but IIm going to drink and drive anyway? i won't be the one to cause an accident because (blah, blah, blah)

Next time you see a bad crash get out of your car and see if you can get close enough to look at a body. Really look.

[...] I wish I could blog like Penelope Trunk. All of her posts are useful (except this one, which is useless), contain research, and are entertaining. I suspect that I could, if I, like she, spent four hours [...]

Not enough people are telling you not to text while you drive. Stop texting while you drive. Fine, you came clean. Now stop. You will kill someone. And I guarantee you generally suck as a driver. Every time I see someone do something stupid on the road, they are on the phone/texting. Stop. Besides, don't you have trouble with directions and navigation because of your AS? Stop!!!!

Interesting trumps useful 72% of the time. OK, I just made that up, but interesting is important.

The people that subscribe to your blog probably care a lot about interesting. The people that find blog posts matching their search terms probably care more about useful.

Or I could be oversimplifying. Because I care so much more about interesting.
