Five for Tuesday

with one comment

* Occupy San Diego has your list of fifteen deadly corporations.

* Staples co-founder explains how breastfeeding women stole all the jobs.

* Via Boing Boing, a list of medieval occupations. Silk-snatchers, footpads, and thimbleriggers, oh my.

* And via Kottke, a rare treat: something for the sports fans.

So, here’s the game: The Jon Lovitz Devil has consigned you to an eternity of being stuck in traffic in a wheezing Ford Escort without air conditioning, and the only radio station plays Michael Bolton 24 hours a day. But you have one chance to escape your fate. You get to choose one athlete, at his or her peak, and one sport. Ever. And if that athlete wins, you get a whole different eternity, with chocolate-covered strawberries, DirecTV and a deck that overlooks the ocean.

Ah, but there is one catch. You get to pick the athlete and sport. But the Jon Lovitz Devil gets to pick the terms.
