This chart determines the “trustworthiness” of electric guitar models based on the supposed ethics of the people who play them, ranging from despicable douchebags to total saints. (Via WFMU )
Click here to make it bigger!
Designer Chris Gregori based this chart on Matt Mcinerney's "Trustworthiness of Beards" poster, and the rankings were determined by a pool of 500 people. This will be available as a 39" by 8.5" poster soon, and you can download a file of all the guitar illustrations for your own use here for free.
Is this thing accurate? Hmmmm maybe.
Up for debate.

Big, sloppy tears ahead. Read the letter Rayden Sazama of Logan, Utah, dictated to his “PaPa” and sent in to The Herald Journal .
My kitty’s name is Toothless. When I got him I had just seen “How to Train a Dragon” at the movies. My kitty looked just like the dragon Toothless with big green eyes and the hair around his head. Toothless, my cat, has long fluffy hair and sleeps on my bed and loved to play with my brother and me. Toothless would let us carry him around all the time. He was our best friend.
Last week he didn’t come in at night. Sometimes he does that, but this time he didn’t come back. After two days my little brother Devin, who is 5, and I went to every house on our street and asked everyone if they had seen Toothless our cat. Everyone said no. We were worried and scared something was wrong.
On Wednesday after work my dad went to the animal shelter as it was closing. They didn’t want to let him in, but they did. He asked if there was a cat with long black fluffy hair there. They let my dad in to look at the cages, and there was Toothless! He was curled up laying in the back of the cage very scared. When my dad made his funny meow sound that he does to make him come home, Toothless jumped up and came to the screen and rubbed up against it and was so happy to see my dad, and he wasn’t scared anymore.
My dad wanted to take him home, but they said he had to go to another office building and pay a fee. The lady at the shelter said it would be OK and told him to come back the next day and we could get Toothless. When my dad came home and told my little brother and me he found Toothless we were so happy and we weren’t scarred or worried anymore.
My dad went back the next day to get our kitty and they told him they didn’t have any long-haired black cats. They only had a white fluffy cat. My dad waited a long time for the lady to come back and talk to him. The same lady that told my dad to come back the next day said she was sorry. She had forgotten to leave a note to tell the people my dad would be there for Toothless and they had just killed my cat that morning. She had just forgotten to write a note to save a member of my family. They killed him and I don’t know why.
My dad found out where he had been picked up and it was our neighbors down the street that don’t like cats and dogs. They had caught him in a trap and gave him to the police to take him away. When Devin and I knocked on their door and asked if they had seen Toothless they told us no, and that was a lie. My dad and mom tell me and Devin not to lie and that is right.

Women can make a man's exercise routine feel easier, for instance — but they can also cause them to show up late to the bus stop and do more dumb things on skateboards.
Running feels easier for men when women watch, according to a recent study. Ten men were asked to rate the difficulty of 20-minute runs when a man watched the last half, when a woman watched the last half, and when no one watched. The results: when the runners knew a woman was watching, they ranked perceived effort as lower than when no one was watching; when the runners knew a man was watching, they reported perceived effort has higher than when no one was watching. (The effect of canine observers was not measured.)

Multiple studies suggest that men exhibit riskier behavior when women are present. One study at the University of Liverpool showed men arrived to catch a 9:40 a.m. bus later than women, who arrived at the fairly non-risky time of 9:35 a.m. The researchers also found that men were more likely to cross a street when cars were passing while women were present "as if this was their way of showing off for the opposite sex." (Hot!) Similar behavior has been seen in other studies — men skateboarding in front of good-looking researchers took more falls, for instance.

The presence of hot men or women does not affect a women's monetary donation habits, but having a hot woman around causes men to donate more, a British Journal of Psychology study found. "Theoretically, this suggests that a good deed is the human equivalent of the peacock's tail. Practically, this research shows how societies can encourage selfless acts," study author Dr Wendy Iredale of Sheffield Hallam University explained. Practically? By hiring only pretty ladies to run charity drives?

"Men, whether unconsciously or consciously, don't want to be seen as light eaters, especially in front of women," ABC reported of the 2011 study on college students' eating habits. While men consume more in front of women, women consume less in front of men and more in front of other women. "The theory is you're more aware of gender when you're with the opposite gender and may want to prove your gender more," a co-author of the study said. So, men shouldn't complain when women encourage them to finish their plates at restaurants, which is merely an unconscious assertion of gender.

The champion cyclist has steadfastly maintained that he never took performance-enhancing drugs. But a 500-page report released today by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency indicates otherwise.

"The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," USADA head Travis Tygart wrote in the statement.

In a statement sent to BuzzFeed on behalf of Armstrong, from his attorney:
We have seen the press release from USADA touting the upcoming release today of its "reasoned decision." Tygart’s statement confirms the alleged “reasoned decision” from USADA will be a one-sided hatchet job - a taxpayer funded tabloid piece rehashing old, disproved, unreliable allegations based largely on axe-grinders, serial perjurers, coerced testimony, sweetheart deals and threat -induced stories. Ignoring the 500-600 tests Lance Armstrong passed, ignoring all exculpatory evidence, and trying to justify the millions of dollars USADA has spent pursuing one, single athlete for years, USADA has continued its government funded witch hunt of only Mr. Armstrong, a retired cyclist, in violation of its own rules and due process, in spite of USADA’s lack of jurisdiction, in blatant violation of the statute of limitations, and without honoring UCI’s demand to produce the entire USADA “file” for an independent review and decision as mandated by national and international rules.
Their push into politics is nothing new.

Not only does this story have an unlikely hero in Raúl Ibáñez, but it legitimately humbles Alex Rodriguez. I didn't know that was possible.
You can tell that A-Rod was super excited about that decision.
