Obviously, making fun of the nuttier things people post on Craigslist is almost too easy, since these poor anonymous posters really have no way to defend themselves. On the other hand, it’s a free site and you’re asking for it when you post the kind of insane stuff featured in the Huffington Post’s hilarious listicle [...]

As you may have heard, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi (at right) was sentenced to three years in jail yesterday for a little-known altercation during which he threw a shoe at U.S. President George W.

It’s been a little while since we’ve done any serious celebrity gossip gawking or pointless picture perusing, so when we came across Mike Alvear’s listicle of 17 Great Celebrity Kisses we couldn’t resist for long.

In all honestly, [...]

We had this incredible idea for a great Valentine’s Day listicle that you would have all loved and never been able to put down. It was going to be the most useful, unsentimental, lucid list about love you’d ever laid eyes on. Then we got swamped with other folks’ Valentine’s listicles (”Valensticles“?) and ran out [...]

It’s been Spring-like warm in New York for two days now, and we’re having an epic battle with our clothing closet figuring out what we can still wear in this weather and what we buried months ago in hopes it might disappear.

It just goes to show, science has come along way, but [...]

Such is the premise behind Jeffrey Wasserstrom’s listicle of 5 suggested books on China and 5 complementary films for the new President, all of which are equally valid [...]
