An illuminated new op-ed by George Lucas:  "The Events Depicted In ‘Star Wars’ Actually Happened To Me" 

7.5 oz soda cans are the only way to drink soda.  Soda, being a mostly useless beverage, is not usually appealing to me, especially in its 12oz form.  I never finish the whole can, and I always feel gross afterwards. But shrink the portion size?  Genius. And as annoying as it is, it makes sense that they charge more for the small guy than its heavyweight 12oz counterpart.  After all, they make far fewer of the 7.5 oz ones.  But we can change that America!  Increased demand for 7.5 oz will change the supply and make it cheaper.  Join the 7.5oz movement!

Go Bruins!

 Apparently Billy Joel never actually got a DUI?  You learn something new every day.
