So I think I’m a little late on this, but I’ve been busy and I just, just got to my emails (thanks Sammie!). I think what this little joke is basically telling us is that, if Facebook did indeed exist years ago, it would have actually been…interesting? My friend Todd eating a chicken sandwich isn’t nearly as life-altering as Adam and Eve creating original sin. Unless you’re Todd, who makes a big deal about everything. @IAmBillyShakespeare: Et tu, Brute?

Always read the subhead.
There’s a new highly-specific blog in town and it’s called Awful Library Books, where two public librarians from Michigan go through the stacks to find the worst titles/covers/general content they can in an effort to showcase some cool books that may have been overlooked, or simply force public libraries to be more current.
My favorite book this week: Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean (subhead: How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved Out an Empire in the New World in their Quest for Treasure, Religious Freedom and Revenge). OhmygodIloveitsomuch.
Join forces and submit books to the site at submit@awfullibrarybooks.net.

The funny people over at Jersey Circus have brought together two cultural icons to form one, outrageously hilarious, (hopefully) future cultural icon.
Pictures from the classic comic strip Family Circus are paired with Jersey Shore quotes to create something I could seriously read all day. This is my new favorite thing ever, and I know I say that like, five times a day, but this could definitely stick for at least 24 hours.
Those Jersey Shore quotes are funny on their own, where Family Circus is usually sweet and endearing. Both, however, always include some kind of life lesson, like go to Church on Sunday, or don’t smush with grenades when your ex-girlfriend is sleeping in the next room. Stuff you need to know.
“We strive to reconcile our guilty delight in Jersey Shore, a bastion of trash, with our eye-rolling fondness for the Family Circus,” reads Jersey Circus’ mission statement. “We do this by juxtaposing the two in a very literal sense. We think you’ll agree that something important is being done here.”
I agree. I really do.
