It has been postulated that the quality of one’s golf game correlates to their intelligence, or lack of it. The late Scottish author Sir Walter Simpson noted as such in his book, The Art of Golf.
“Excessive golfing dwarfs the intellect,” he wrote. “Nor is this to be wondered at when we consider that the more fatuously vacant the mind is, the better for play. It has been observed that absolute idiots play the steadiest.”
So with that in mind we’ll make the leap that Richard Thaler, though an avid golfer, is not necessarily a skilled one. Thaler, a University of Chicago economics professor, recently was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences “for his contributions to behavioural economics.”

Last night, the United States, sitting reasonably comfortable in the FIFA Chamber of Torture and Oddities known as the CONCACAF Hex, took to a heavy, water-logged pitch against last place (and already eliminated) Trinidad & Tobago, needing, quite simply, not to lose in order to qualify for their eighth straight World Cup. 90 minutes later, they had couched it all up—a World Cup birth, the future of US soccer, national pride, some Gatorade, and, apparently, Taylor Twellman’s soul.
But as we, the soccer-tolerating American masses, come down from our rage high, we would do well to remember a few things. First, established superpowers like Chile and the Netherlands also missed out. If you think it’s bad here right now, hoo boy, just go drop those Twitter feeds into Google translator. Second, the United States is one of only seven nations on earth to make every World Cup since 1986. That’s 31 years and 31 years is a long, long time. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the world has change..

Often you'll here liars people utter the phrase “I'm a morning person!” Let's get one thing straight – no one on earth is a morning person. You can put on a fake smile, act like you're full of energy and fast-pace walk to work with that Venti Pike from Starbucks in hand all you want, you're not fooling anyone. Except Jim Harbaugh, I actually do think he attacks the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
Don't believe me? Well, a Danish photographer Peter Funch put this theory to the test in his book 42nd and Vanderbilt, taking photos of the same strangers exiting Grand Central Station and commuting to work in New York City over a nine-year period. With the help of his incredible attention to detail, you'll find that for the most part, people tend to stick to the same morning routine, over and over and over again, and my goodness is it depressing. Take a look at a few samples:

Odds are, if you clicked on this article, you spent an extended amount of time in the 90s watching Rugrats on Nickelodeon, either because you were a 90s kid and your parents put you in front of the TV or because you were a parent oddly entertained while you sat with your toddler, who watched the popular cartoon series.
And if you watched the show for any more than one episode, you're probably familiar with the power of the Reptar brand through the Rugrats airwaves. You might even have a couple of the songs brainwashed into your head. (Guilty…we're not so proud that we're capable of singing the Reptar Cereal commercial verbatim, or better yet, the dialogue on the episode where the kids go see Reptar on Ice.)
It appears that FYE, For Your Entertainment, has realized the strength of that Reptar brand — and the store is bringing what was once just a cartoon creation — the Reptar Bar — to life as a real consumer product.
