Great invention-to-be

2. An app that could talk to you while you pretend to text someone

Everyone experiences those times when they are waiting on someone else and have to break the awkwardness of standing alone. Most people take out their iPhone and text someone. As for me, I just stand there like an idiot. I want to text someone or have any communication with another live person, but there is never anybody to talk to. This dope ass app will let you talk about something with a complete stranger until your date shows up (or not depending). You can debate common controversial topics, discuss current events, or just chat about your day. Its like the best friend you never had and it only costs $1.

Azerbaijan

When I think Azerbaijan, I remember that one Eurovision contest I watched where Azerbaijan won (and fairly so) and I remember thinking where's Azerbaijan - is it.. part of Europe?

Then read this article about their despotic leader.. despotic and not very cleverly so.

He won the most recent democratic elections.
And the election results were announced... one full day before the voting began.

Totally resonated with me.
Especially chips.. took me a while to get used to saying crisps. And really chips is still easier to say.
