What a coincidence. Can anyone vouch for your collective whereabouts during 2010?

Here's the link to the Winnie the Pooh article:

I Don’t Let My Kids Watch Winnie The Pooh Because I Don’t Want Them Idolizing A Fat Virgin

I realize the other stories trump it - but no love for the disengaged/engaged joke?

Reddit, you surprise me.

What's this in reference to?

Edit: got it, thanks all. Summary -- in the 2012 Olympics match vs. Canada, Canada was trying to slow the pace of the match down. Canadian goalkeeper held the ball too long on multiple occasions, so Abby Wambach started counting out loud by the ref whenever she had the ball. Eventually the U.S. was awarded a free kick. The ball hit a Canadian player on the free kick, which led to a penalty, which scored the tying goal. U.S. wins in overtime.

Bonus question: is there consensus about how "fair" this was? Some say it was legit, others say the refs basically handed the U.S. the game...

I think the ambiguity is the point. i.e., punching a shark is as good a strategy for avoiding a fight as punching a human - it depends on a lot of other variables so it definitely isn't a sure thing.
