Stumbling through a Backlog part 8

I love sarcasm, it's for me how I communicate my voice (right along appearing completely disinterested). However, even for a daily practitioner of this caustic language I learned a lot out of this article. For guys you might be suprised how women view sarcasm and vice versa. While it might come out as a wall of text, the article's a suprisingly good read, if you're not completely incompetent.

This planet has so many crazy animals that it's nice to get a list of highlights (go to cracked.com for some of the creepier ones) These, for better or worse, are not among the real animals. From the Hodag of Wisconsin (very close to my old Boy Scout camp...comforting...) to the Fiji mermaids, this list covers some of the most famous and unique hoaxes and myths. Personally, I'd like a pet Skvader?

This graphic compares the two geniuses of the end of the 19th century, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. As shown, both men lived astonishing lives, and bitterly fought until they lost a joint Nobel Prize. I guess compromising isn't all that bad after all... Anyway, my vote's for Tesla, after reading from this how Edison scammed him, but go decide for yourself.
