OK, seriously, someone needs to buy this house.

Firstly, that price is a steal for a 3 bedroom/2.5 bath in Morris County and I think its only going for so low because the people already bought a new house.

Secondly, patio, backyard AND porch. Even I am jealous. We don’t have a porch.

Thirdly, your next door neighbors would kick so much ass you wouldn’t be able to effectively deal. (Look at the address of this house and you will understand this better if you are lost).

If you look at the picture of the fireplace, and kinda squint, you can totally see our patio furniture out their window. ;-)

the shortest novels ever written

Published by under Uncategorized

from Wired Magazine:

We’ll be brief: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.

Dozens of our favorite auteurs put their words to paper, and five master graphic designers took them to the drawing board. Sure, Arthur C. Clarke refused to trim his ("God said, ‘Cancel Program GENESIS.’ The universe ceased to exist."), but the rest are concise masterpieces.
