Happy 100th Birthday to the 1911 .45 Pistol, Our Gun of Choice

This year marks the 100th "birthday" of one of America's most successful and culturally impactive political tools: the 1911 .45 semi-automatic pistol. Yet this is not just a story about a gun.

Michelle Ryan and a Brief History of the Foot Fetish

In the immortal words of Dr. Seuss, "how many, many feet you meet!" A series of videos said to feature Michelle Ryan, the wife of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, has brought to light a little-discussed aspect of human sexuality: Many people have a thing for feet. For those who do not share this particular fetish, there was a whole lot of head-scratching today as some of the videos in which Ryan is believed to be the center of podophilic attention made the rounds on the Internet.
