Help me understand coffee stains

I’m not a coffee drinker. That’s why I cannot fathom why coffee cup stains exist:

  • Mugs aren’t difficult to drink out of.
  • Mugs don’t leak/ooze their contents.
  • Condensation doesn’t form (even if there was, it would be water).
  • Coffee drinkers aren’t exceptionally slobbery people.

So how does the coffee get on the bottom of the mug to cause the stain when you set it down??

This was plaguing my mind as I tried to fall asleep yesterday. So, in a way, coffee kept me up.

I await your response.

Uncaffeinatedly yours,

No, this isn’t a joke

Best [worst] 80′s movie clip ever

A prank


One of my coworkers is involved in the prank war to end all prank wars and asked for help in coming up with ideas (“It has to be mean but not cruel”). Here’s my contribution:

You come home from a movie, walk in, turn on the lights and Gary Coleman is sitting on your couch.

Handcuffed to, say, an end table.

Mr. Coleman hands you a note which informs you that in order to get the key to the handcuffs you must perform a number of humiliating tasks in public which will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube.

Until then, Gary Coleman stays on your couch. You’re responsible for providing him three meals a day, figuring out a way to get the end table into a bathroom, and keeping the remote control within arm’s length.

What do you think? How would you react if you came home to this scenario?

P.S. Who knows how much you’d have to pay Mr. Coleman to do this. However, if the price was right, I think I’d be willing to do it for someone. Let me know in the comments if you’re interested.

Mr. Donner, your table is ready

The best part was that she didn’t get it at all.

Well, we thought it was funny.

As an aside, I vaguely remember hearing something about how women mature faster than men, but I wasn’t really paying attention.
