I saw this question with a link to the answer on another blog. I came with a minute of the correct answer when I guessed, but the answer would probably be surprising if you didn't try to do the math ahead of time. -decker
Roughly one out of every ten chatters is a naked masturbating man, and even they will usually hang up on you, one-handedly, before you can click away.
...or maybe not. Story about ChatRoulette, a rising internet sensation. -decker
If you've got a lot of time to kill, check out The Wire on DVD. The fifth season was pretty weak compared to the first four, but it's a great show.
If you can't get enough violence and profanity (and want to watch a great show), check out Deadwood on DVD. Unfortunately it just ends after three (epic) seasons. If they ever spin off one of the characters, can I recommend Dan?
Demetri Martin's back on Comedy Central tonight. He's the thinking hipster's Andy Samberg. Or something.
Parks and Recreation has moved from 'Pretty Terrible' to 'Pretty Funny' this year, and as Jim pointed out, it's still got a lot of potential.
How I Met Your Mother is back on track and pretty damn entertaining. Big Bang Theory was making jokes about Leibniz a few episodes ago. How can you not love it? -hendred

What self-identified Republicans believe
Disclaimer 1: This is from Daily Kos, home of the Godless liberal commie scum that want the terrorists to win and make you marry your same-sex siblings.
Disclaimer 2: Daily Kos commissioned the poll through an independent pollster
Disclaimer 3: These are self-identified Republicans, so no semi-Republicans are included (people that would identify as independents but usually vote for Republicans)
Disclaimer 4: Some of the questions seem pretty leading/illogical (last one on Heaven especially) -hendred

18. Don Blankenship
Charges: As CEO of serial polluting coal giant Massey Energy, Blankenship’s reputation for climate change denial is as well-deserved as his company’s staggering EPA fines. In ‘07, a West Virginia Circuit Court fined Massey $50 million, but it wasn’t a problem for Blankenship, because he’d already restaffed the WV State Supreme Court with his own man—spending $3 million in accusations that the incumbent justice was soft on pedos. Shortly after the Supreme Court reversed the lower court’s ruling, he was busted partying in Monte Carlo with three whores, one of them being a WV Supreme Court Justice. Last summer, Don held a ghoulish pro-coal rally on a leveled mountaintop with fellow retards Sean Hannity and Ted “Suck my machine gun, Obama” Nugent.
Exhibit A: “If CO2 emissions are going to kill the polar bears, it’s going to happen.”
Sentence: Used to fertilize a rooftop garden.
From dean: For a little over a decade, some parents have neglected to vaccinate their children due to fears that vaccines increase the child's risk of autism. Finally, the Lancet, one of the premier medical journals in the world, has retracted its publication that lead to this conclusion. Meaning: (1) the science was not sound, misrepresented, and/or falsified, and (2) those medical researchers will never work in this town again. This is a big day for public health.
