It’s come to this: Cracked.com is the “paper” of record.

Their stuff is, on average, more educational than you’d expect from what was once a second-tier Mad Magazine ripoff.

If you’re older than 30, this development has no business surprising you.

Also? “6 Completely Legal Ways the Cops Can Screw You” (see #3: “Arrest You For Filming Them”) and (the created-by-readers) “If Move Titles Were Honest”. And that’s just from this week.
