Sunday, September 30th, 2007I mean, really. Some of these fans are celebrating like the Phils just won the World Series. The only thing they have accomplished was winning the NL East.

Stupid Questions
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Why is the inside of a car’s windshield the most impossible surface to get clean?
