- UsedFAQs is another of those websites extending the definition of the word "blog." How are they doing this? By posting nothing but random questions and answers from random FAQs from around the internet. Which airline flies to Pitcairn? Can replicants reproduce? What's Dave really like? The answers to all these questions and more can be found at UsedFAQs.com.

We're disgusted and horrified...and can't wait to see it. Look for updates on local TV stations and times in our TelePhillyist column. (Via)
