Craigslist Ad of the Day: Craigslist Seattle brings us the most over-the-top ad for a crappy used car EVER:
“Never in your life has a car made you so appealing to the opposite sex. I know what you’re asking yourself, ‘Am I man enough to handle a car this flawless?’ The short answer is no. I tried to be. I grew my beard to unreasonable lengths, trimmed my fingernails with [a] belt sander, ate nothing but lumber for 6 straight days and knocked a polar bear unconscious.”
Sadly, the ad has been flagged for removal.

this is pretty awesome.
One World Trade Center becomes New York City’s tallest skyscraper today.
Formerly called the “Freedom Tower,” the building rising to replace the twin towers destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks will lay claim to the title of New York City’s tallest skyscraper today. Workers will erect steel columns that will make its unfinished skeleton a little over 1,250 feet high, just enough to peak over the roof of the observation deck on the Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building, measured from the sidewalk to the tip of its needle-like antenna, actually stands at 1,454 feet. But purists say antennas shouldn’t count when determining building height.
