A federal judge in Seattle ruled that organizers of the Gay Softball World Series can continue to enforce their rule of allowing a maximum of only two "non-gay" players per team. The decision came in a lawsuit filed by three San Francisco men from a team called D2, whose second-place finish in 2008 was nullified because they are bisexual, not gay, and therefore broke the gay softball covenant to keep vagina-lovers out of the outfield.

This one goes out to the expert lushes among you. (So everyone.) For generations, the text on the Jack Daniel's label was the closest many college freshmen ever got to cracking open a book. But the company has decided to revamp their product's look, with a "refinement" that retains the black-on-white aesthetic, while dispensing with many of the quirky stats, boasts and sayings that made it look so cluttered. How many are now missing? And what's there now that wasn't before? Bonus points if you play this drunk.
