I've never been to Coney Island in the off season and I thought it would be interesting to travel out there today and take photos and check it out. So that's what I'm going to do! I'll put up the first post today around noon, so check back then. But now, here's some random headlines for you to peruse.

“Flipping the Bird” dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.

There’s an interesting article here:

@Martin: Thanks for the link, great article! I can't remember the code off the top of my head, but send me an email if you get a chance and I'll send it to you tonight.

I can't believe that they're talking about the middle finger thing at all. When did people in this country turn into a bunch of pussies? If that, or Janet Jackson's tit, gets us so worked up, how are we ever going to regain prominence in the world. Shake it the fuck off and move on. Who gives a shit. I knew what the middle finger when I was and was using it when I was like 9 years old. I will personally guarantee that kid that saw it during the superbowl knew what it was and actively uses it to tell someone to fuck off, and the ones that saw it and didn't understand it's significance probably didn't see anything at all except someone flipping a finger.
As a country we are getting everything we currently deserve.

@randall: I'm in total agreemanet, we're becoming a nation of politically correct pussies.
