Master Jobst Fimil’s biography is big news. I’ll buy a copy when it’s available. Other than that, I don’t think it’s going to change the world much.

Tiger Woods apologized.
If he’s as good at rehab as he is at golf, he’s going to be fine.

The rules are the same. [...]

Let’s see.
1. Pick a hot button. (Done.)
2. Make up a logic thread that offends every motto, credo, and stated philosopy of the site. (Yup.)
3. Push the button. (Got it.)
4. Stand on the button. (Yup.)
5. Stomp on the button. (Uh huh.)
