It is disturbingly common for people to click right on through such barriers without even looking at the agreement. I totally understand this attitude. Reading the EULA is generally a waste of time. “Blah blah blah... bequeathment of firstborn... Blah Blah Blah... eternal soul...“ and so on.

Of course, I have created a wonderful solution to this problem. My cat, Simba, agrees instead of me. As he is not a legal entity, I don't really know how kitty's agreements would stand up in court, but I like to think he would be responsible for any breaches of contract, assuming the agreement is even enforceable. After all, he is not even of legal age, at least in human years.

Anne Loucks has a creative way of getting around forced agreements to EULAs. Lawyers weigh in.

In case you were wondering, geography professor Thomas Gillespie of UCLA, puts a 90% chance that he's in the Kurram province in Pakistan.

The Hubble Space Telescope first photographed Fomalhaut b in visible light on November, 2008. Fomalhaut b is 115 AU distant from its star, Fomalhaut, and it is 18 AU inside the dust ring. It was the first exoplanet to be imaged in visible light.

That's not the photo that Hubble snapped, but it would be cool if it was.

If The Shining was a romantic comedy...

Check it, yo. Who knew the Russian Army invented the dance off?

I think about working out a lot--I actually work out very little. 2008 was the first year in four that I didn't run a marathon. We used to have track workouts every Tuesday night that would include sprints, middle distance, and core work. We'd also run hills. The Art of Manliness has some good exercises you can set up at your local park or high school football field.
