Before I post the first link, a little disclosure:
I’m not what anyone would call “even-tempered.” And I have been known to let arguments get out of hand a time or twenty.
However.
This is a little drastic:

He’s fine after eight stitches, but read the article to find out how she tricked him into letting her tie him up first.
Vietnamese Ministry of Health: Small Chest? Too Short? Too Thin? Don’t Drive
It seems the ministry has proposed banning short, thin, and small-chested people from driving motorbikes (but not cars or trucks). Oh, and sinusitis sufferers, too. The ministry wants to ensure the roads are full of healthy drivers. Why do these traits in particular endanger healthy motorbike driving? No one’s saying, and Vietnamese citizens are, predictably, pissed.
Now let’s play a game.

Got your guess? Find out the answer under the cut.

On a more serious note:
Election Day Preparations: Making Sure Your Vote Gets Counted
Allie, normally of the green answers, tells you all you need to know about early voting, registration, voter ID checks, and various state policies. She includes links and hotline numbers in case you run into trouble at the polls. Go read her post, and you won’t have to track down all that stuff yourself.
Yes, I would not describe you as even-tempered. But I thank you for not beating me with a dumbbell.
I recently found out about Kareem’s blog, and it’s quite good. For me, he’ll always be the co-pilot from Airplane!
You’re not even-tempered?
Noelle–I totally forgot he had a blog, and I just found out about it recently, too–like a month ago, in fact.
