- This article was sent to me with the following text, “Having Hard8 as #2 already casts doubt on the evaluator.” – Best Barbecue Joints In The Mid- Cities – I like the idea of getting a free BBQ sandwich at Bartley’s by simply sending a text.
- I kept seeing this Click Hole article, which was posted earlier this year, pop all over the Internet yesterday – 7 Hacks To Get The Most Out Of Your Chipotle Order – I’m not going to give any of them a try because it’s from Click Hole, which is an offshoot of The Onion.

- In the Haunted Mansion at Disney World/Disneyland, “you” commit suicide during the course of the ride and become a ghost.At the beginning of the ride the ghost host (the narrator) says the only way to escape the mansion is to die, and he shows that he hanged himself. Near the end of the ride there’s a moment where the ride vehicle turns around backwards and you go off a balcony, which according to this theory represents you jumping to your death.Before this part of the ride the ghosts are all trying to scare you, but afterwards they sing excitedly and invite you to party with them. (The Grim Grinnin’ Ghosts song.) The only human character in the ride, a groundskeeper, appears after the balcony drop. He faces toward the riders and seems terrified of you.Could be totally accidental, could be an intentional subtlety by the designers, but either way I’ve never looked at that ride the same way again.
