# For whatever reason, I had to stand on the B line this morning. Maybe once every three months, a B train will originate beyond Government Center. As a guy that rides the entire B line twice every day, truly the only perk my commute has is that I always get a seat in the morning and evening. This seatless train experiment on the Red Line scares the bejesus out of me. And I can't imagine how the grizzled subway vets in New York will handle it.
# Regular readers of Dangerous, Dirty, and Unfun know that I <3 puns. So I'm always pleased when wacky animal stories come out. For whatever reason, if your story is about a pet, you have free license to pepper your prose with a plethora of puns. Enjoy these.
# If ever there were a tale that absolutely begged for the long form, it's the story of Clark Rockefeller. Kudos to Vanity Fair for heeding the call. For those of you who aren't local, here's a quick summary: Boston blueblood Clark Rockefeller kidnaps his daughter during a supervised visit. The subsequent investigation reveals that Clark Rockefeller is actually a con-man who's traversed the country under a half dozen different aliases. And he's a suspect in the murder of a California couple that went missing in the 80s. It's reached the point where I cannot read enough stories about this guy. Having consumed everything the local papers put together in real time, it was good to see a big-picture account in VF. Read. It's sordid stuff.
# Am I the only one worried that this will cause a Zero Hour–esque, chronology-engulfing destructive rift at the beginning and end of the timestream?
