Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar. Phillyist reader Eric sent us this photo, which he snapped at the Burger King at Broad and Wyoming. Anybody else hungry?......

When it comes to dieting, I really kind of suck. Unless it's imposed by my circumstances (the Unemployment Diet) or my religion (the "real" God Diet), I'm likely to fall off the wagon within a week. Maybe two. But still, I at least try to eat right. No fried foods. (Well, French fries once in a while.) Poultry and fish. (Except for when I really want beef, which happened twice last week.) Coke Zero.......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. A handy list for frequenters of fast food restaurants like ourselves: The 88 Fast Food Items Most Likely To Kill You. We're pleased to say that most of these are from places we don't ever go to. But we're depressed to see McDonalds' fries and Burger King's chicken fries included. We love those! (Via Sarah) And speaking of unhealthy foods, how about some......

I'll bet you thought I was going to write something about barbecues, in honor of the Fourth of July, right? Wrong. I already covered where and what to barbecue, and frankly, I don't like potato salad or cole slaw enough to come up with recipes to provide you with, because then, I'd have to try them. And we're giving pretty decent coverage to the Fourth of July on Phillyist, anyway. We're patriotic like that. And......

Before you even start, no, this has nothing to do with Philadelphia. But when somebody offers to send me a DVD about ninjas with the word "Shinobi" in the title, how am I supposed to say no?? So here I am, reviewing Shinobi: Heart Under Blade, a 2005 Japanese film released to disc in the States last month. So what's it all about? It's sort of Romeo and Juliet, but here R & J are......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Jess at Apropos of Something has exposed himself (and his friends!) to the horror that is the Jones Soda Holiday Pack - so we don't have to! His reviews of sodas with flavors like "Pea," "Turkey and Gravy," and "Dinner Roll" are both amusing and slightly nauseating. Just like the holidays! Speaking of the holidays, here's a holiday gift from us......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Stallone is officially an icon! And we refuse to make any jokes about this involving the words "yo" or "Adrian." Superman Returns, again! Yep, the sequel is a go, with pretty much all the cast and crew returning, it sounds like. We are also promised a smaller budget, but lots more action. Yay! How about Superman, Superman Jr., and the entire Justice League......

I'd walked past Bootsie's several times before its opening, each time with mounting curiosity. The name sounded to me like a mecca for New Orleans-style comfort food, Louis Armstrong's version of "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" playing over the sound system. Then Daily Candy informed me that Bootsie's was a different kind of fast food experience. Burgers and dogs, but with gourmet ingredients. It wasn't gumbo, but they'd still have andouille sausage on the......

Ah, Rick Santorum, our very own state Senator. How we do enjoy his antics! Just as a for instance, let's take a look at the results of a recent probe into Santorum's personal and political finances: Rick got a $500,000, five-year mortgage from a small, private Philadelphia bank, despite the fact that he is not one of the affluent investors who are the only people they claim to give loans to - oh, and......

Quite frankly, Stephen A. Smith has his finger dug into the neck of this fine city (we think that the neck is located somewhere in Northeast Philly), taking its pulse and converting into prose that reminds us of rainbows. And so, what Stephen A. says is gospel around these parts. Just look at Sunday, for instance: in the Inquirer, Smith took the Eagles to task for their poor offense and the Eagles responded with a......
