The 10th anniversary of the Friends finale was last night. While I don't care, it was a ratings monster in its prime and therefore quite popular with the masses. Here's a look at the show's interpretation of New York City. All apologies for getting the theme song stuck in your head again. [via Gothamist]
Apparently, 45 percent of men can reach orgasm faster than Peyton Manning can execute the two-minute drill. While that may be not acceptable for the likes of Missy Elliott, some women are cool with it, thus proving there's someone for everyone. [via xoJane]
Let the record show that Sarah Palin has her own personal definition of "baptize." Let the record also show that her adult film doppelganger Lisa Ann does, as well. People are listening to Sarah Palin speak again, because it tends to incite laughter. That, or utter confusion. During an Extra interview with Mario Lopez, Palin said she thought Hillary Clinton becoming a grandmother might change her views on abortion. Because, you know, the concept of having a "real baby" was apparently lost on her during motherhood. Palin comes through in the clutch, once again. [via Daily Intelligencer]
In other complete fail-related news, a Family Feud contestant couldn't flip this 182-point assist into victory. She only needed 18 points to help her family win $20,000 and she buckled under the pressure. There have been worse game show failures, but this is still bad. [via Deadspin]
Speaking of blown money, Stanford University is dumping nearly $19 billion in coal-mining company stock. They clearly don't need it. Your move, Harvard. [via New York Times]
If none of that woke you up, Uncle Charlie and the rest of the Gap Band yelling at you in sequins and cowboy hats should do the trick. That, and excess cowbell, which you can never have too much of.
