I'm pretty sure it is legal (medically) in Michigan and you can grow up to 5 plants. At least I know my friend grows some awesome weed and always brings a few ounces down when she come back to town to see her mom and her recently passed dad.

Yeah, there's actually a lot of medical marijuana outlets in Michigan. I was kinda shocked at how many the last time I was in town (last September). Even my goofy small hometown had a few.

The map isn't quite clear. Is that cost on the street, cheapest you can get it, or what?
Place up the road has an oz for 245 (or more if you wanna go there.) Medical is cheaper, and if you actually find someone that you can buy from it's really cheap.
Really excited to have been born in and subsequently live in some our nation's most racist areas.

Saw this map of the Shetland Islands on Twitter. They may be pulling my leg a bit.

Leg is being pulled...
However, the real names are pretty hilarious...
Imagine being from the town of "Whiteness" or "Gloup."

Baltasound was founded in 1164 and named for its unique church bells, which mimicked a local elder's screams upon being dowsed with crab seasoning in his gunshot wound.

The world is a better place thanks to people like this Imus guy. An incredible piece of work - 6,000 hours to make changes to something that most people would think was fine the way it was. Just think of the commitment!

Same here. Mrs. Sabo and I are using it to plot our future vacations.
You can take any country or state and drag it around the map to compare its size to other countries. I just wish it would also allow you to rotate them.
I noticed that North Carolina is pretty damn close to the size of England.

That's cool how it scales according to the Mercator projection.

Immediately reminded me of this classic SCTV skit. (From the episode when Soviet TV interfered with the satellite and beamed Russian tv down.)

This is really cool. An accurate map of San Francisco using only type. Click through to see more pics with detail.
Speaking of which, it's pretty much official that you should be calling the Czech Republic "Czechia" now. It's on Sporcle, so I know it's true

I must have copy-pasted from a Swampcrash spreadsheet or something because I just printed out a huge conservation lands map for a town and right in the middle, in 12-pt Arial, is the word "chedda"

Can you back date that for me? Squatting is too time consuming.

Over Sugar Tit? Fuck off.
The Wiki wrote:Sugar Tit received its name when the men spent so long socializing at the local general store, their wives complained they took to the store like a baby to a sugar tit.
A sugar tit was an early pacifier, a cloth rolled into a bulb with sugar or honey on the tip for babies to suck on.

Let's compromise - there's also a Sugartit, KY. And look at one of their main thoroughfares...

You guys should Urban Dictionary what felching is and then extrapolate an entire 'Ville doing it.

Yeah, that may be the winner.
Years ago, I worked on a show that was hosted by a young guy named "Jeff Colt." One drunken night he confided in me that his real surname was "Felcher."
Kid made the right choice.

For some reason necrofelcher became a common insult in junior high. I'm really curious to go back and figure out who brought that term out. If I had a way to travel back in time. Which I totally don't. But if I did...

When I was young, my friend's Little League team was sponsored by a certain company in our town. The company's name, I kid you not, was Climax Uranium.

With it having 4 syllables, it's much better than turning the verb 'mung' into a noun.
