It is not that we don't like math — we do, in fact, like math; don't punch us, please — but it seems strange that simply writing numbers in a box would become a fad.

Goleo, We Hardly Knew Ye
The scene: a conference room somewhere in Germany. Men in business suits are seated around a long conference table. The man at the head of the table begins to speak (for your convenience, we translate from the original German): "Gentlemen, I suppose you're wondering why I called you here today. I ...
Kobe Bryant's Dazzling Ensemble
Via YAYSports!, here's video of Kobe Bryant's appearance on TNT last night. We're not sure what much more we can add to Free Darko's live-blogging of the experience, except to marvel in that soon-to-be-infamous blue sweater vest thing.
