You don't screw with Mr. Resetti!

Funny side note, my youngest daughter got in trouble this morning, two different times. Her punishment the first time was having her Nintendo 2DS, that she was playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on, turned off without saving (she had only done something minor). Her second punishment was actually having her Nintendo 2DS taken away from her. Silly kid...

I don't know how we missed this chart on its first go-around (it was created by Eli Dourado in May 2014, using data extrapolated from a 2013 op-ed by Jon Mooallem, who spent the summer of that year keeping track of power outages caused by squirrels), but it is everything, and you deserve to know that it exists.

My easy solution to this dilemma is to no longer sitting on the floor when I play video games. Problem solved!

The first panel of the kid reminds me of Max Burkholder from Parenthood. It's probably the hair.

This photo of a note to parents, purportedly printed on a pamphlet included in a LEGO set from the 1970s, has been making laps around the Internet. The legitimacy of the note, which is noteworthy for its egalitarian tone, has been called into question – but there's good reason to believe it's real.

My dad taught me while I was very young that there are two ways you can accomplish things. The easy way, or the hard way. He also told me the hard way was often the "right" way. After watching this insane video of how these men transport sand between floors, I realize, what my father taught me was a lie. I am sure it was not his intention, but there is clearly a step in between the easy and the right way that can incorporate both. I only know this because the following video proved it to me.

While this may be a very odd question, have you ever seen anyone transport sand as efficiently? They somehow make this look like a fun job.

Now the real question is, when did Spiderman start hauling sand for a living?

Saturday morning American broadcast TV was once animation's home field. Filling a cereal bowl with artificially colored sugar pebbles and staring at the tube was every kid's weekend plan. Not any more: For the first time in 50-plus years, you won't find a block of animation on broadcast this morning. It's the end of an era.

A few months ago, Tim Lee, Zack Beauchamp, and Matt Yglesias brought you 40 maps that explain World War I. This chart makes for a nice addendum to those:

(Jared Keller)

The chart, by Mic's Jared Keller, shows usages of various terms for the war in books digitized by Google, as gleaned from Google's Ngram search tool. What's intriguing is that references to World War I began increasing even before World War II began in Europe. The big growth obviously came as the war began and after its conclusion, but this suggests that in at least some texts, "World War II" was used in the same ominous, premonitory way that "World War III" is today.

Finishing Augie this week. Crazy.
