Funny quiz over at Mental Floss (actually, it's mental_floss, to be accurate): Discontinued Ben & Jerry's flavor or MySpace band? There are 10 ice cream flavors/band names listed, and you have to figure out which is which.

Rachel's Brownie? Mint Cherry? Coconut Fever? This Is Nuts? Are those ice cream flavors or band names?

I actually got 8 out of 10. I never had any of the old Ben & Jerry's flavors that are listed, but for some reason the names rang a bell.

Funny piece up at Cracked.com. Jay Pinkerton has discovered the cure for insomnia, and it involves drinking several Old Milwaukee Tall Boys. It's good for several reasons. One, you get to drink a bunch of beer, and two, it's not like there are several different steps you have to do in order or memorize and there aren't any pills to take, you just drink beer. As Jamie Oliver says, easy peasy (spelling?).

Of course, this is the part of the post where I have to say DRINK RESPONSIBLY.

There is also advice on how to know if you're drinking your beer responsibly and what you can do and/or think about while you're drinking.

To quote Tom Cruise on The Today Show, "Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt..."

Matt Wilson over at Cracked.com gives his list of the Best and Worst Thanksgiving Food. I made a prediction before I even read the piece that turkey, stuffing, and pie would be in the "best" category, while green bean casseroles and yams would be in the "worst." Well, I was partly right. He actually lists turkey in the "worst" category!

Whaaaaa?

He gives big props to pie, corn on the cob, and yams though. He doesn't like the cranberry sauce in a can, and it makes me wonder if he even knows you don't have to have it in can, you can actually make fresh stuff yourself!

Matt, seriously, how can you not like turkey? Are you a Communist? (Funny part about the family awkwardness though.)

So what are your favorite ane least favorite Thanksgiving Day foods?
