Upside Down Rhino Was the Last of Its Kind

We all gasped in amazement at photos of a black rhinoceros being airlifted upside down to an area of South Africa where it stood a better chance at reproducing. Inconceivably, a new report suggests there's no other rhinos for it to reproduce with.

Last week, a 19-year-old guy from Arizona took the bus to Milwaukee to meet a girl he knew from the internet. On arrival, he discovered that she and her roommate wanted to have a kinky, possibly Satanic, threesome. So far, so awesome. And then came the part where he was stabbed and slashed 300 times.

Crybaby Bankers Boycott Mario Batali After He Calls Them Hitlers

Max Read · 11/09/11 08:28PM

Celebrity chef Mario Batali indelicately compared "the entire banking industry" to "Stalin or Hitler and the evil guys" at a Time panel on Tuesday. A poor choice of metaphor, for sure—especially when you consider that bankers make up a significant portion of the customer base at Batali's high-end New York restaurants. Even more so when you consider what crybabies bankers are.

Andy Rooney's college roommate, Bob Ruthman, died of a heart attack today while attending the 60 Minutes staple's memorial luncheon at the Century Club in Manhattan.

And with that, the last two remaining members of the Colgate Class of '43 went out in style.

Ryan Tate · 11/09/11 05:25PM

A discussion about race in Silicon Valley has to start with the facts, facts the federal government already collects and many companies openly share. But Apple simply doesn't want data about its racial makeup publicized, by anyone.

Your Biweekly Stock Market Plunge Happened Today

Hamilton Nolan · 11/09/11 05:06PM

The cheap, rickety county fair clown car that is the US stock market took another nice little dive today: down 389 points, or 3.2%. Just your standard "Europe has no money left" fears. A decade ago this would have been considered a fairly horrific one-day collapse, but lately these swings of several hundred points per day have become as commonplace as the various Wall Street jokes which we are too sophisticated to make.
