You're Eating at a Buffet Wrong
How do you get your money's worth at a buffet? The Food Network is here to tell us how we've been doing it wrong. See, buffet eating is a zero-sum game, and you have two have a proper strategy to win.
On the other hand, you can decide that eating out is not a competition, but an experience that you pay to enjoy. If you enjoy the food and the experience, then you've won, no matter where you are. If your local buffet restaurant is full of diners trying to "beat the house," the experience will not be great and the food is probably sub-par anyway. Maybe you should patronize a restaurant that gives you the good experience you are paying for. (via Boing Boing)

Wonder Woman, A Symbol of Progress
Wonder Woman was a breakthrough character for DC Comics in that she was a (gasp) woman! Since her debut in 1941, she's been a symbol of a woman's power, although a problematic one, having been written and drawn by men for a male audience. And even so, she got the short end of the stick in pop culture. Nevertheless, Wonder Woman persevered. Learn the history of Wonder Woman in this video from kaptainkristian. (via Tastefully Offensive)
