Week In Review: March 5, 2010

From the Blogosphere

Forget shortening your URL!  Instead you can turn it into something nefarious and menacing!  Shady URL.

Remember Willie Wonka’s golden tickets?  They’re for real! (via MomLogic)

Lisa Johnson Fitness featured a hilarious “how to” blog post about how to put on a sports bra.

If you need something to keep you occupied for 8 hours a day (besides your job, that is) check out the Top 27 Comic Websites featured on Star Costumes.

Parentdish has a story about a NYC chef who has made cheese out of his wife’s breast milk. YUMMO.

And for more time-wasting fun check out the blog Lamebook which has kindly collected all kinds of stupidity from Facebook and compiled it in one convenient location.
