Chocolate for Girls


A few years ago, I suggested that chocolate makers hate women (http://evanrapp.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-is-willy-wonka-single.html). Maybe now they're starting to realize that women may like chocolate too. Introducing "Fling"! It's like chocolate but for women. http://www.flingchocolate.com/.

The New 96th st Subway Station


The gentle slope of the new 96th st subway station. Who will be the first person to climb to the top? How long will it take for the MTA to put a fence around it?
