- Google's interface is still new in my mind, but apparently they're testing out an even newer one. I don't like the idea of everything being in a drop-down menu.
- Here's your Halloween post: Zombies are worth over $5 billion to the economy. What do you think makes zombies so popular? [via Nate]
- So long, Tony La Russa.
- I've been passing on most of Scott Adams' blog entries lately. They can get pretty annoying sometimes. But why not share a post about a good news day?
- Bad news for the Chargers, who apparently let a player back into the game after he had a concussion. He had a seizure after the game.

- The reactions after yesterday's incredible World Series game remind me of those after the last day of the season, when Tampa Bay and St. Louis sneaked into the playoffs. The unfortunate thing about yesterday is that it was only game 6, and it's so unlikely that game 7 will match yesterday's intensity.
- In other sporting news, the Jets beat the Flyers 9-8 last night. The Flyers goalie was pretty tough on himself, which presents us with the always amusing situation of an athlete tearing himself to shreds.
- GMiDHF.
- Is the NBA lockout over??
UPDATE: No...
- Something about Parks and Rec and Modern Family, I dunno.
QotD: "I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars, there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that. But once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it’s the same hamburger." - Bill Gates

- Take a look at the leaked Droid 4. I miss the slide out keyboard, so maybe this'll be my next phone.
- Google+ updates.
- Fans of the Insane Clown Posse are a big threat! Who wouldn't be afraid of insane clowns?
- Check out 25 notorious teacher sex scandals. They're all female teachers, FYI.

I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to update the theme for this page. It's difficult because everything is done in CSS and HTML, but I think I have a decent theme for now. I even updated the comments section so that you are only prompted to give your name and comment!
I'd also like to point out for those RSS users out there, you can now subscribe to Five Things using a link under the "Meta" section to the right. This is a feature I've been wanting for a long time.
- Funbag.
- This article mentions that less than 5% of people in Chicago actually buy tags for their dogs. That seems ridiculously low, right?
- Perhaps vitamins really aren't that good for you. Who knew?
- Lindsay Lohan is expected to pose nude in Playboy. Heh.
- New Chrome stuff!

Testing out a new format. Give it some time, and let me know if you like/dislike it.
- Here’s somewhat of an interesting read on how seven-game series came to be, which includes this quote:
“[T]he structure of determining a champion in professional sports is still based as much on superstition as it is on rational thought.”
- A man proposed to his girlfriend on a flight, which doesn’t seem too newsworthy to me. But hey, we got a good quote out of it:
“The cabin erupted in applause as Williams said yes. Shandiz then presented her with the ring and the couple kissed awkwardly in the cramped cabin.”
- I like when scientists come up with cool ideas, like genocide-inducing mosquitoes.
- Longest Hot Wheels track ever.
- The McRib is back, which is amazing news for some people. Not really for me though. I mean, it’s good, but I don’t see how anyone can prefer it to a Big Mac.
